Better Fast Food Choices

Everyone stops for a quick bite these days. If you stop at a fast food eatery you can still have a healthier, lower-calorie fast food meal.

Registered dietician Sylvia Geiger offers these suggestions:

*Opt for low-fat milk or water versus a soda or milkshake.

*Skip the fries or order a small portion.

*Order a grilled chicken sandwich rather than a hamburger or fried or breaded chicken.

*Use only half the packet of salad dressing.

*Opt for the fresh fruit, vegetables, or salads available at some fast food restaurants.

*Order drinks and meals from the children’s menu for smaller portions.

*Check out the nutritional facts sheets and online menu calculators that many chains now offer.
