Is fast food
for you?

1.

2.

Choose grilled or broiled sandwiches with lean meats such as lean roast beef, turkey or chicken breast. You may also go for simple plain items without toppings or mayonnaise. Choose healthy and tasty flavourings like mustard, fresh tomato and onion as well as crunchy add-ons like lettuce and other vegetables.

3.

Skip the croissant or biscuit. Eat your sandwich on a bun, bread or English muffin and save calories and fat.

4.

Stay away from double burgers with cheese. Cheese carries an extra 100 calories per ounce, as well as added fat and sodium.

5.

Go for the salad bar, but watch out for high-fat toppings like dressings, bacon bits, cheeses, and croutons. Even too much low-calorie dressing can add up. Check the calories on the packet. Also limit salad bar items that are dressed with a lot of mayo, such as potato or macaroni salad. Fill your salad with vegetables like carrots, peppers, onion, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, etc.

6.

Go easy on cheese, sour cream, and guacamole. Watch out for deep-fried taco salad shells - a taco salad can have more than 1,000 calories!

7.

Pizza can be a good fast food choice. Go for thin crust pizza with vegetable toppings. Watch your serving size, you may want to limit yourself to 1-2 slices. Meat and extra cheese add calories, fat and sodium.

8.

Be alert for traps. Fat-free muffins for breakfast may have plenty of sugar. Skinless fried chicken can have almost as much fat as the regular kind. Chinese food may seem like a healthy choice, but many dishes are deep fried or high in fat and sodium, especially in the sauces.
