The Real Problem with Fast Food... And Seven Quick Tips For Surviving a Fast Food Attack
The real problem with fast food is not that it has too much fat. The real problems are that it contains man-made trans fats, it's loaded with processed cards, the fish, chicken, and potatoes are fried in processed oils; and the red meat comes from grain-fed, artificially maintained and fattened animals.
What can you do?
If you want good nutrition in a hurry, the selection at Boston Market has little trans fats or processed carbs, and there are several high-protein choices. If you think you must eat at one of the fast-food chains, here are tips to follow:
Choose the leanest red meat.
Choose grilled fish or chicken over fried.
Skip the trans fat containing salad dressing.
Throw the bun in the garbage.
Skip the vegetable oil cooked fries.
Drink water with your lunch.
If possible, stop by a local supermarket or seafood restaurant. You can pick up a much healthier meal in about the same amount of time.
