Answer 1

Fast Food

Eating fast food once in a while shouldn't be too detrimental to your health as long as you don't make it a habit. You can further restrict the health risks of eating fast food by making smarter choices when you eat at these establishments. The following are a few tips to cut down on your calorie, fat and sodium intake while eating fast food:

Don't be fooled by seemingly harmless salads listed on fast food menus, these can also be health hazards. In many cases, salads are almost as bad for you asburgers, fries and other more obviously unhealthy options thanks to the inclusion of fatty dressings and ingredients like friedchicken or bacon. If you do get a salad, get one without any fried ingredients and choose a light dressing.Avoid increasing your portion size. This is a common offering at many fast food restaurants where bigger items are priced only slightly higher in order to encourage patrons to purchase more. Generally, even the smallest size available is a more than enough on its own. A good example is soda, which at 16-to-20 ounces for a small, is already enough for two servings.Look up nutritional information online before visiting a fast food restaurant. Simply seeing that a large order of fries has three times the calories of a small order may encourage you to order differently.Choose grilled chicken over crispy chicken, skip the mayo, choose appleslices over fries or go for a wrap instead of a sandwich. Smart choices like this can really add up.
