Healthy Fast Food, Is It Possible?

Well, it is depends on you. You got choices. So, choose well.

Making healthier choices at fast food restaurants is easier if you prepare ahead by checking guides that show you the nutritional content of meal choices at your favorite restaurants. Free downloadable guides help you evaluate your options.

One big surprise: A traditional fast-food chain, McDonald’s, cracked our top 10. Sure, it’s the home of the Big Mac, but did you know it also serves a mean yogurt-and-granola parfait?

Remember that good options include:

# The smallest size of burger
# Grilled chicken sandwiches or salads
# Low-fat dressings and sauces (or none at all)
# Diet soft drinks or water


A few things to avoid:

# Super sizes of anything
# Fried or breaded chicken or fish
# Chicken nuggets
# High-fat sauces and dressings
# Onion rings
# Extra cheese
