Fast Food Made Healthy

Is there such a thing as a healthy fast-food meal? Of course. All it takes is some planning, reading the menu, and of course following these suggestions.

1. Think small
A regular-size burger or roast beef sandwich provides two servings of grains and three ounces of protein, just the right amount for a meal.

2. Avoid anything fried
Believe it or not, a fried-chicken sandwich has more fat and calories than a burger. Many people think fish sandwiches are healthy, but since they are always fried they're a poor choice. Think about it

3. Add something green
Just about every fast-food restaurant has some type of salad. This is the only time when large is better.

4. Drink wisely
The best beverage choice is skim milk: packed with calcium, riboflavin and vitamin D. Even 1 percent milk is a good choice.

5. Exercise your right to choose
Studies indicate that most people choose the fast-food restaurant on their way home from work, or the closest to work at lunch, or even on the right-hand side of the street so they don't have to make a left turn across traffic.
