Your Daily FoodScope for February 13, 2022
Do you often find yourself wondering what food to cook, how to cook it, and even that dreaded question—how much of it? It’s a daily struggle for all of us, but need not be with our food horoscope. Satisfaction is only a click away!
Aries
Patience may not be one of your strong points, but today you could be well rewarded for tapping into your hidden reserves. Sure, that line outside of the bakery may be long, but you should be glad you waited when you're finally munching on a gooey, chewy, freshly baked cinnamon bun.
Taurus
You're loyal to a fault, but today, that devotion could be costly. Your beloved New York Reuben with fries and slaw may be contributing to hidden cholesterol problems that could come back to haunt you one day. Indulging only once a week is well advised. Not indulging at all is even better!
Gemini
Despite its reputation as a food of the gods, chocolate is vilified for its high fat and sugar contents. But learning the deeper facts about chocolate may have you breathing a little easier. It's also packed with the antioxidant flavanol, which can prevent certain cancers and keep arteries from clogging.
Cancer
Take your lunch outside, where you can savor the beauty of this spring day. Find a park bench or picnic table and watch the world go by. You may even want to eat as you stroll along a shady lane. Albacore tuna, red leaf lettuce and cherry tomatoes in a pita wrap is perfect, guaranteeing minimum fuss and muss.
Leo
You may be surprised today when some of your food beliefs are debunked with extreme prejudice. Take that whole-wheat bagel, for instance -- at 350 calories, there's no difference between that and the white variety. Now may be the time to make the switch to English muffins, which only contain 130 calories, and who doesn't love all those nooks and crannies?

Virgo
Travel may not be possible right now, so you may want to give tonight's dinner an international spin. Authentic Thai, Greek, Peruvian and Ethiopian restaurants can easily be found -- you just have to look for them. Why limit yourself to just one cuisine? Find a Swedish smorgasbord and you can go globetrotting without ever leaving the restaurant.
Libra
Some of your deeply held food beliefs are challenged today. You may find that the difference between two-percent and whole milk is almost negligible: 150 calories per cup of whole versus 120 for two-percent. Your best bet is to go skim, which contains only 80 calories per cup. Drinking a cup of skim milk a day can save you more than 14,000 calories a year!
Scorpio
Your moods may be intense today, but eating the right foods can turn that frown upside down. Foods high in fiber, Omega-3 amino acids, B12, Vitamin D and folic acid have been found to boost moods and stave off depression, so grilled or broiled salmon with steamed spinach and Brussels sprouts should be the epitome of a happy meal!
Sagittarius
You may have to focus on smaller details to get to larger truths today. Margarine may be a healthy alternative to butter, but some brands still contain high levels of nasty trans fats. Read the labels and choose those with the lowest trans fats if you want to play it safe, and always make sure to buy margarine in a tub -- the stick variety contains the highest levels of fats.
Capricorn
You may be avoiding certain foods as you continue to eat healthy, and that may include beef. But you can still enjoy a good meaty dinner if you know what to look for. Top and bottom round roast or sirloin, eye of round and mock tender all contain less than five grams of total fat, two grams of saturated fat and 95 milligrams of cholesterol.
Aquarius
Feeling bold and daring today may prompt you to indulge in international culinary oddities tonight. You'll have much to choose from: live octopus from Korea, blood dumplings from Sweden, Austrian beef tartare or American Rocky Mountain oysters. No regrets!
Pisces
Some of your beliefs are turned on their ear today as you discover that what you once thought was good is actually very bad. That fruit smoothie you buy every afternoon at the national chain can be packed with as many as 840 calories! You can significantly reduce the amount of sugar, fat and calories by making your own.
