Don’t Be Fooled By Your Fast Food Choices
Some people fancy themselves smart when they make certain food choices in fast food restaurants or the drive-thru. Did you think that ordering a chicken sandwich instead of a Big Mac would mean you’re eating better? Think again.
Big Mac:540 calories
Premium Crispy Chicken Club Sandwich: 580 calories
Do you think you’re doing a better job when going for a submarine sandwich than a burger? How much mayo and cheese is on that sandwich? When you choose chicken, is it breaded and presented with a sweet or creamy dipping sauce on the side? Don’t forget to count caloric value of condiments!
A salad is a great alternative instead of fries but not if you order a ceasar salad which is essentially lettuce, yes but the bacon, cheese, croutons and the dressing make it as good for your heart as a big slab of red meat.
