Are You a Fast Food Frequenter?

June 11, 2007

Fast-food restaurants have been making strides in creating nutritious meal options, so if you frequent fast-food places, here are suggestions to help you make healthful choices:

• It’s okay to say no. Think before you answering the question, “Would you like fries with that?”
• The “Value Meal” isn’t always the best bargain, especially if you’re getting more food than you’re going to eat.
• Get fat-free or low-fat condiments like mustard, ketchup and salsa.
• Ask for salt-free fries.
• Skip “special sauces” and garnishes.

All foods fit in a healthful eating plan, just learn to make the right choices.
