I know that for all of us at some time and in some place, there’s going to be a drive-through fast food experience.
Don’t sweat it.
When it happens, here’s how to turn those unhealthy drive-through choices into healthier ones.
1. Keep your portion sizes small. Two or three beef patties is too much, so resist the urge to super-size.
2. Order side dishes like salad or a fruit bowl, instead of fries or onion rings.
3. Opt for grilled items and avoid fried or breaded foods. The fried and breaded items are high in both fat and calories.
4. If your entree comes with condiments, see if they offer a healthier low-fat option.
5. For your beverage choice order water, unsweetened ice tea, or sparkling water. Add a piece of lemon for some flavor.
We all, on occasion, eat on the run. However, take the time to slow down and make smart, healthy choices!
