Tips and Tactics for Healthy Fast Food Meals
1. Order a single, regular cheeseburger
2. Choose burgers or wedges without added cheese or mayonnaise.
3. Order a large salad. Get a side or garden salad to complement a burger or pizza. Pour the salad dressing sparingly and try a low-fat or fat-free salad dressing.
4. Avoid regular soda, fruit punch or lemonade. Drink low- or fat-free milk, orange juice, unsweetened ice or regular tea, coffee, water or diet soda. Or even better purchase fresh fruit juices instead of gas drinks.
5. You want fries with that? If you just can’t say “no”, order the smallest size or split a larger order among several eaters.
6. Order a kids meal. There’s no age requirement. It is portion control at work.
7. When possible, order items without mayonnaise or “special sauce.” Use lower fat and calorie sauces to add flavor to foods. You can usually find mustard, honey mustard, barbecue sauce, and ketchup.
8. If you decide to indulge in dessert, choose a small size frozen yogurt or ice cream.
9. Finally, get the Nutrition Facts in order to find out exactly what you are eating. With the nutrition information, create a few healthy meals in advance for next visit to the fast food restaurant
10. A void high fat ingredients such as cheese, fried chicken or fish, bacon, French fries, mayonnaise, and "special sauces" (which are usually made from mayonnaise).
