Fast Food Quick Information

posted by HealthyNewfie on 5:14 am

I love Denise Austin and her weekly emails. Today I received an email from her that I wanted to share. See below:

Gone are the days when you'd order from a fast-food menu and keep your fingers crossed that what you were eating didn't have too many calories. Now it's easy to find out how many calories are in that fried fish sandwich or vanilla shake. You'll be amazed at how many calories can be packed into one little bun!
Fast food doesn't automatically equal bad food! Chain restaurants are doing more these days to make their meals healthier. They're also providing a lot more information about the nutritional content of the food so that you can make the best choices. Here's the latest on fast food — and what you should look for when you eat out:

Most fast-food chains now offer complete nutritional information on their Web sites — and you can also use my Nutrition Facts Finder to look up common menu items and get the calorite counts. How's that for a great tool? Before you hop in your car, hop online and plan your order!
McDonald's, Burger King, KFC, Taco Bell, and Wendy's are all taking steps to reduce dangerous trans fats or completely eliminate them from their menus. Nice work! (Keep an eye out for foods containing these fats, though — just in case.)
Need nutritional information while you're in the restaurant? Look around! Some chains are posting it on place mats, in brochures, and even on the food packaging.
Some cities have laws requiring fast-food chains to post nutritional information on the menu board, so it's front and center while you order. All you have to do is look at the sign — it's that simple!

Her Nutritional Facts Finder is at this link. w ww.deniseaustin.com/members/account/login.aspx

You can also look at individual fast food restaurants and do your homework. I know that eating home is the best idea but for those of us that travel on the road for weeks at a time (for work) sometimes you have no choices but to eat at restaurants. With this handy idea you can never go wrong.

I travel allot for my work and this past 17 months I was able to lose over 60 lbs and I would say half of that time I spent on the road making wise choices at restaurants.
