By Donette Windom


People are aware that there are negative effects that come with over indulging in fast food. Butin this world where every minute matters, it can be very hard for anyone not to take advantage of the quick food relief it can offer. It cannot be denied, that it is an important aspect of our daily busy lives. In the last few years, the false impression that the foods from eateries are not healthy has significantly changed. Today, you can grab healthy bites from these stores and chains.

The healthy choice of food from these places largely depends on you. It is up the person eating on how to make his choice of food bad or good for the health. Foods from these restaurants tend to contain higher fats and lesser fiber. If want to make healthier choice, you can either eliminate some items or have an alternative in your order. For example, your order of pizza can be made much healthier by eliminating the meat toppings and retain the peppers, jalapenos and onions only. It is good thing to note that there are numerous fast food restaurants that take care of the nutritious value of the foods that they serve.

There are chains which makes their burger a suitable choice by skipping the high fat percentage of cheese and mayo. Instead, they use ketchup, barbeque sauce or mustard in order to make the sandwich ideal for consumption. The use of tofu in burgers is also gaining popularity as a healthier alternative. Some consider eating chicken as one bad choice. But, this is only true if you are going to order the one that is deep fried. Thus, the better option is to go for the grilled chicken which is common in the menu of most restaurants. This helps you from saving lots of fat and calories intake which can be detrimental to the health.

French fries is the favorite of many and the best choice to accompany the burger. Since it is high in fat, you can make your intake healthier by choosing just the small size and taking 20 or less. You may even share it with someone who is with you, so you can both be mindful of your health. Salad is believed by many as the healthiest choice they can order in restaurant, but this is not entirely true. When ordering, take notice of the ingredients included in the salad as well as the dressing used for it. You have to be aware that the use of Thousand Island dressing even if only 2 teaspoon is added on your salad, can bring you about 150 calories. Opting for other like lemon or vinegar dressing is much healthier.

When it comes to drink choices in fast food restaurant, instead of picking soda, you can always go for water or fruit juices. The latter is a far better choice in the long run. But for those who cannot resist burger with coke, they can opt for diet soda.
