Better choices for fast food

  • Check the menu ahead of time for nutrition facts. Think of a meal as 350-500 calories.
  • Some fast food restaurants have a light or lower calorie menu to choose from.
  • Avoid high calorie toppings (e.g. mayo, tartar, processed cheese sauce, ranch) and choose mustard or light mayo instead.
  • Remove the skin or breading on chicken to lower the calories.
  • Lighten up the bun with some of these options:
    - Lettuce wrap ("protein style")
    - Leave off 1/2 the bun (open-face)
    - Order a whole grain bun for a little more fiber
  • Ask for a side of vegetables, salad or fruit instead of chips or fries.
  • When ordering pizza, choose a thin crust (and whole wheat if available), and top with lots of veggies for added fiber.
  • Avoid biscuits, croissants, and muffins which can be high in calories and low in fiber.
