Fast Food
Nutrition Guide
Today's busy lifestyles sometimes mean we don't have time to cook,
or we must eat while we are out. Most choices available in restaurants
today are very high in fat and calories.
However, there are a few selections available that won't bust
your fat budget.
MAKE THE RIGHT SELECTIONS
Restaurants make it easier for us to choose the right foods when
dining out. Many will mark the healthier selections on the menu
with a heart or other symbol. If in doubt, ask the server for
a suggestion.
AVOID PEER PRESSURE
If your office co-workers order out often, you may be tempted
to forego the healthier choices and go with the crowd. Don't be
afraid to stand firm and order something light. If the choices
are not available, then brown bag it. Pack your lunch, eat it
outside or in the car and away from temptation. You may find that
you enjoy the peaceful moment alone with your sandwich and Diet
Pepsi more than the hustle and bustle of the office environment
and a pizza!
BEWARE OF THE SALAD!
If you visit the salad bar while waiting for your dinner, you
can easily consume an extra 300 to 700 calories or more! Toppings
such as cheese, bacon, eggs, and other fatty foods pack in the
fat grams and calories with just a small amount. Salad bar dressings
are generally high in fat, but most will offer at least one fat-free
selection. Make the obvious choices, such as vegetables and nonfat
dressings.
IT'S NOT ALL BAD
Fast Food doesn't have to mean bad food. Grilled chicken sandwiches,
baked potatoes, small hamburgers minus the mayo are many choices
which won't hurt your diet. Many are actually good for you! A
Grilled Chicken sandwich from Wendy's contains just 300 calories
and 7 grams of fat. It also contains 24 grams of protein, and
15% of the RDA for both Vitamin C and Iron.
