Healthy Eating Strategies for Fast Food Lovers (Source: American Diatetic Association)

Lately, fast food restaurants have been making changes to their menus to accommodate those looking to eat a healthier diet. Here are some healthy strategies for the next time you visit your favorite fast-food place:

• It’s okay to say no. Think before you answering the question, “Would you like fries with that?”
• The “Value Meal” isn’t always the best bargain, especially if you’re getting more food than you’re going to eat.
• Get fat-free or low-fat condiments like mustard, ketchup and salsa.
• Ask for salt-free fries.
• Skip “special sauces” and garnishes.

By making smart choices some of your favorite fast-foods can be included in your healthy eating plan.
