Healthier Fast Food Choices

When a fast food snack attack hits, the best thing you can do is curb your appetite by munching on some fruits or veggies. But every now and then, even the most determined healthy eaters are tempted. If you absolutely can’t resist your favourite fast food restaurant, here are a few ways you can order a meal without exceeding the daily-recommended intake of 2,000 calories and 65g of fat.

McDonald’s

While a home-cooked meal loaded with veggies is certainly best, you can still control your calorie intake at this fast food joint by opting for a healthier meal. The Angus Burger, a hearty new addition to the McDonald’s menu, contains 33g of fat and 11g of saturated fat. It also has 610 calories, which makes up roughly 51 percent of your daily calorie intake. Cut back on the fat and calories by going for the Grilled Chicken Sandwich Wrap instead. At 240 calories and 8g of fat, this meal choice leaves you room for a few fries on the side.
