Eating Healthy a Fast Food Nutrition Guide
Planning your meals out ahead of time is the best way to ensure eating healthy. However, things do not always go the way we want. Time constraints having to do with working late, your kids soccer or baseball game can put a damper on your eating habits. Starving, stressed out and ready to collapse you decide that you have to eat something. But what? I am not sure where you live but I am sure that you have at least one fast food restaurant nearby. Here are some healthy alternatives for you to eat if you absolutely have no other choice but to eat at a fast food restaurant.Subway Fast Food Nutrition Guide:
We have all seen the commercial, and we all know that they offer six subs with seven grams of fat or less. They also offer low fat salads and carb-conscious wraps. Be careful with the carb-conscious wraps as some of them are loaded with fat and saturated fat. Just remember to make sure you either use no dressing, or you use a fat free – or low fat dressing. Also skip the cheese to avoid extra calories and fat.
Healthy Suggestions:
Subway Club – Sandwich/Salad/Wrap
Chicken Breast – Sandwich/Salad/Wrap
Turkey Breast – Sandwich/Salad/Wrap
Ham – Sandwich/Salad/Wrap
Roast Beef – Sandwich/Salad/Wrap
Veggie Delite – Sandwich/Salad/Wrap

McDonalds Fast Food Nutrition Guide:
When you think of eating healthy you definitely do not think of going to eat at McDonalds. But after the steps society is taking towards leading healthier lifestyles even McDonalds is being forced to offer healthy alternatives to the Big Mac and Fries. Again remember to forgo using extra condiments such as mayo and tartar sauce whenever possible. Substitute ketchup, mustard, barbecue sauce or honey. If you order a salad make sure you get a low fat dressing such as Newman’s Own low fat Balsamic Vinaigrette or low fat family family recipe Italian dressing.
Healthy Suggestions:
Hamburger – no cheese
Premium Grilled Chicken Classic Sandwich
Side Salad
Fruit & Walnut Salad – use low fat/no dressing
California Cob Salad – with or without grilled chicken - use low fat/no dressing
Caesar Salad – with or without grilled chicken - use low fat/no dressing
Fruit N’ Yogurt Parfait – with or without the granola

Taco Bell Fast Food Nutrition Guide: Another place that is notorious with offering some of the un-healthiest food known to man. Again, society has pleaded for healthier alternatives and Taco Bell has responded by offering what is known as a “Fresco Style” menu. This is relatively the same as their other menu except that instead of the fat laden cheese and sauces they normally use, they substitute salsa. All the options on the Fresco Menu are under 10 grams of fat or less. Here are some of the healthier options on the Fresco Menu.
