I
have to admit that I seldom eat at fast food joints. I much prefer to eat
great food and it's worth the time to either cook it myself or find a better
alternative to fast food.
If you are going to eat at fast food restaurants, use these lists to find the best, healthiest options at the different fast food restaurants.
I have kept it pretty straightforward and the only information included is calories, fat, sodium, and fiber. The items listed fall generally under 400 calories or so, under 15 grams of fat, and under about 600 milligrams of sodium. If you are going to be stuck eating at such restaurants this is a fairly good guideline to use for any meal.
