Fast Food: If you have to have it, what should you have?

Whether you choose to dine out at your local MickyD's or you have no choice/time you should be informed on what's actually the best food options available there. Do you think the salad is always better for you than the cheeseburger? You may be wrong about that...

Wendy's

McDonald's

Carl's Jr.

Burger King
(Almost 1200 calories for a sandwich! Can you say heart-attack?)

Dairy Queen
(only food items)

In order to reduce your calorie intake:

1. Look for lighter/less calorie menu options
2. Try grilled rather than crispy!
3. Size small rather than the Large (portion sizes)
4. Skip the dressing on the salads or do a side salad instead
5. The less fatty condiments the better
6. Instead of soda, take the water cup!

All Nutrition labels can be found on the websites of fast food restaurants. This information has to be available to the public. If you ever have a question about the nutrition facts, just ask! :)

Also, 

Just because I have listed fast food restaurants does not mean that numbers aren't similar if not higher in regular restaurants. Portion size has a huge impact on the numbers! 

THINK BEFORE YOU EAT! :)
