In between school, dance classes, and performances, its pretty hard to have a home cooked meal. When you are on the go, think of these types when choosing meals from the Fast Food menus.
McDonald's: - Instead of choosing a Big Mac, choose:
- Premium Southwest Salad with Newman's Own Creamy Southwest Dressing and Small Fries (470 calories, 4.5 g saturated fat, 650 mg sodium)
- Grilled Honey Mustard or Chipotle BBQ Snack Wrap with Snack Size Fruit and Walnut Salad (470 calories, 5 g saturated fat, 860 mg sodium)
Taco Bell - Beware of extremely high sodium content in almost everything on the menu. Try asking for cheese-less options or replace sacuces with salsa, which often includes fresh tomatoes and vegetables.
- Two Fresco Crunchy Tacos with Pintos n Cheese Side and Salsa Side
- Fresco Grilled Steak Taco with Mexican Rice Side and Guacamole Side
Subway - Many Subway sandwiches are much larger than a one-person portion and can be high in fat and sodium. If you need that foot long, forge the chips and soda. Or if you don't want the bread, get your favorite toppings on a salad!
- 6" Veggie Delite with Baked Lays
- Turkey Breast Mini Sub with Fire Roasted Tomato
Average Recommended Daily Values (for an active, young adult female)
