Fast Food Options
At my job, it is difficult at times to find healthy choices for lunch. I’m surrounded by fast food restaurants and chains that carry high fat, high cholesterol foods. When I don’t pack a lunch, I find myself choosing between the lesser of tall of the evils.
McDonald’s is trying to be a bit more healthy with it’s menu. Ordering food at McDonald’s however is still going to be highly unhealthy. If you’re near a Burger King, you can order a veggie burger. Ask for it without the mayo! You can also order your fries at Burger King without salt. Yes, they’re still fried, but without the salt you know they’re fresh and you can cut down on the amount of sodium. You can also substitute apple sticks for fries.
Of course, going to a place like Subway would be the ultimate healthy option. Yes, the lunch meat is processed, but it’s definitely better for you than a burger and fries.
If you’re trying to be healthy around a bunch of fast food chains, you can ask for substitutions and other exceptions in your meal. You should definitely remember, for the sake of healthy living, to only eat this type of food once in awhile. Don’t make it a daily thing!
