Guide Note:
Fast Food is inexpensive, quick and convenient, but a meal that includes a sandwich, french fries and a soda can add up to a full days allotment of calories and fat. You don't need to cut fast food from your life, to be healthy, as long as you learn how to make it healthier for you.
Fast Facts:
- Over 50% of Americans eat out for at least one meal a day.
- At McDonald's, the difference between small or medium french fries can be 160 to 400 calories!
- When ordering a salad, be sure to check the fat and calorie content of the dressing. Often times it is one of the worst items on the menu.
