EATING FAST FOOD
No. 1: Be Cautious About Condiments
Half the fat in some sandwiches come from the ranch sauce or mayonnaise. Use a little ketchup, mustard, marinara, or BBQ sauce instead of creamy sauces and spreads.
No. 2: Watch Out for Side Dishes
Anything on the side that's fried is suspect, like French fries and onion rings. If you need something to keep your entree company, look for fresh fruit cups or side salads (and use half a packet of the reduced-calorie dressing). The other option is to bring your own fruits and vegetables from home.
No. 3: Look Out for Liquid Calories
The last thing you need when eating at a fast-food chain is to drink something that gives you calories without nutrients, like soda, sweetened tea, lemonade, and fruit drinks. It's even worse if your drink is also loaded with fat -- like shakes. Choose either a no-calorie beverage (like water, unsweetened tea, or diet soda) or one that contributes some nutrients along with its calories (like low-fat milk or 100% orange juice).
No. 4: The “Trick" is in Portion Sizes
Keep calories in check by keeping food portions no larger than the size of your fist." Larger portions mean more calories, which can easily add up to extra weight. If you eat at fast food restaurants, instead of super sizing your meal, go for a child-sized serving or split the meal with someone. Opt for water over soda or juice. Ask for sandwiches without mayonnaise or other sauces.
