Myth: Eating fast food will make you lose your figure.
False! It's all about the choices you make. And sometimes, let's face it, it's a lot easier to choose drive-thru than it is to prepare a full-ledged meal after a busy day of work. It's what you choose once you hear, "May I take your order?" that makes all the difference. These fast food ideas well help you (and your wallet) end the day right:
From Arby's:
This roast beef joint is known for their one-of-a-kind onion rolls and ooey gooey cheese sauce, but what about something a little lighter? You might be surprised to learn that their menu has a pretty impressive variety of fresh alternatives. Try the Chopped Turkey Club Salad tonight and enjoy cheddar cheese, tomato and red onion served with a trio of meats (turkey, ham, and diced bacon), for only 250 calories and 12 grams of fat a pop. Remember, the Balsamic Vinaigrette is just about half the calories of a serving of their Buttermilk Ranch, so follow-through and bring home something truly healthy and delicious.
If you're not in to salad, the Ham and Swiss melt is an astonishing 138 calories, with just 6 grams of fat. Not too shabby.
From McDonald's:
McDonald's is a great place to load up on snacks before and after work. They'll fit your diet and your kids' standards too! If you have to choose just one thing, go for the apple dippers. They are always fresh as can be, and just as flavorful and juicy as cutting into your own hand-picked apple, but already sliced! Don't forget the low fat caramel dip, which makes them, well, dippers, and adds that delectable dessert flavor for only 70 calories and a half a gram of fat! (Makes the dippers a total of 105 calories.)
And of course, you can't go wrong with a fruit 'n yogurt parfait. With real fruit chunks of strawberries and blueberries, this creamy treat is 160 calories, 2 grams of fat, and that's with the crunchy granola!
From Wendy's:
In the mood for chicken? Wendy's has got the Ultimate Chicken Grill, which really is the ultimate diet saver. Enjoy a grilled filet with fresh toppings and honey mustard sauce for just 320 calories and 7 grams of fat. Now that's a steal!
