Fast Food Nutrition by EAS Question: I never take time to prepare a lunch and usually end up at a fast-food restaurant at lunchtime. What wise food choices (if any) can I make at these places? Answer: Surprisingly, many fast food restaurants offer some relatively healthy choices today. The question is, can you resist their other fatty temptations (French fries and shakes)? Try to stick with broiled or grilled foods. Some examples of these include: Burger King BK Broiler Chicken Sandwich Broiled Chicken Salad KFC Tender Roast Chicken (white meat, without skin) McDonald's Grilled Chicken Deluxe Grilled Chicken Salad Deluxe Subway Six-Inch Turkey Breast Sub Taco Bell Grilled Chicken Burrito Grilled Chicken Soft Taco Wendy's Grilled Chicken Sandwich Grilled Chicken Salad Remember to skip that large order of McDonald's fries, which adds 22 grams of fat and 450 calories to your meal, and that medium chocolate shake at Burger King, which sets you back 440 calories and 10 grams of fat. For a balanced meal, ask for extra lettuce and tomato for your sandwich, or order a salad with low-fat or fat-free dressing. You can also cut the fat content of fast-food sandwiches by avoiding cheese, mayonnaise, regular salad dressings, and creamy sauces.
