How to Pick Healthy Fast Food

Is there such a thing as healthy fast food? You bet. Today, fast food menus offer many healthy choices. Here are some tips:

1. Avoid extra-large orders. A jumbo order of fries has 150 more calories than a regular order. And that’s just the fries!

2. Don’t use mayonnaise. Regular mayonnaise adds nearly 100 calories. It also has more than 10 grams of fat.

3. Don’t add cheese. Cheese can add more than 100 calories and more than 10 grams of fat.

4. Order a salad instead of fries. A garden salad is a good pick. And choose low-fat or reduced-fat dressing. Regular dressings can add more than 100 calories and 11 grams of fat.
