How To Cut Calories With Fast Foods

Would say I was plagiarized, but my approach is better.

With today's hectic schedules, individuals often eat at fast food joints due to convenience. Although fast food joints are packed with tempting colorful signs, those watching their weight can still order healthier alternatives. Dr. Jessica Bartfield, who specializes in nutrition and weight management at Gottlieb Memorial Hospital, part of Loyola University Health System, explained:

"The average American consumes close to 50% of his or her meals outside of the home and fast-food restaurants are abundant. By following a few rules, you can keep any fast food meal in calorie check."


Dr. Bartfield likes sandwich shops that allow customers to fill their sandwich with a variety of vegetable toppings, which adds nutritional value, while having the option to stay clear of higher-calorie ingredients like dressings and cheese.

And it let's you enjoy your meal more.
