Don’t think from the title of this post that you can eat fast food everyday and it be ok, it isn’t but on the occasions when you can’t avoid eating fast food there are some rules you should stick too.
Never eat anything that is breaded, ie chicken nuggets, chicken fillet burger or the fish sandwich, everything that is breaded and fried is a no no! All fried foods are crammed with deadly trans fats, industrially made from hydrogenated vegetable oils. This also means no fries! A typical breaded chicken or fish sandwich meal contains about 10grams of trans fat, add the pie or doughnut for desert and it goes up to about 13grams. If 1 gram of trans fat is slowly killing you, you can imagine the effect 13grams is having on your body.
Avoid sodas, they are highly processed, high in fructose corn syrup that is just going to end up as extra tummy fat, this means no diet sodas either. Water is always the best choice but if you have to have something with flavor try iced tea.
A good choice for breakfast would be ham, egg and cheese on a English muffin, not a trans fat filled croissant, or for an even better choice have a fruit and nut salad. For lunch or dinner try a grilled chicken sandwich or one of their grilled chicken salads without croutons again these are filled with deadly trans fats, or you could have just a plain old cheeseburger.
The main point about fast food is that the bad bits are the fries, sodas and anything else fried. You can go to a fast food joint and eat healthier but you should still only do it when you just can’t avoid it.
