ARE THERE HEALTHY FAST FOOD OPTIONS?

When time is short for single parents , the drive thru's and fast food restaurants seem the best answer and no one ever complains, Right?

Luckily, for you Mom and Dad, most fast-food places post nutrition facts on their websites so you can see what's in their food before you go. Look for foods that are low in fat, calories, sugar, and sodium — and high in fiber, vitamins, calcium, and iron.

At some restaurant choices can be confusing health-wise. for example; at the big m the chicken sandwich has more fat and calories than a regular hamburger!

If you don't have the nutrition facts, here's what to do: Choose smaller grilled items over fried foods. Order a side salad instead of fries (go easy on the dressing). Watch out for extras like bacon, cheese, and mayo. And choose water or skim milk to drink.
