Tips When Eating Fast Food

 Look closely at the menu descriptions. When you see words such as “deep-fried, pan fried, batter-dipped, creamy or crispy,” let those words be a “red alert” that these categories of foods have too many calories. Better choices that are healthier are leaner meats and vegetables.
 Even though soda tastes good, water is so much better for you, helps you to digest your food better, often has minimal cost, has zero calories and is refreshing. An example of a high calorie soda is the 32-ox Big Gulp with regular cola. It has a whopping 425 calories in it…almost as much the total calorie count of a lunch. And if you are not hungry than you don't have to eat, that means you have more time to play DarkOrbit.
 When using salad dressings, instead ask for several packets of catsup or mustard and put on as much or as little as you want. Often you can ask for low-calorie salad dressings; they taste almost as good as the regular.
 Be careful of the portion size. The average food meal can often go as high as 1,000 calories. Choosing a smaller size for main menus can make a big difference with fat and calorie count. Sharing a desert helps and is a neat way to share something tasty and special. Ask for two spoons or two forks.
 Be careful with salt. Most fast food restaurants put on too much salt; therefore there is no need to add more. Too much salt can lead to hypertension and retention of water.
 When you eat; slow down. Learn to enjoy each bite. When you eat slower, you will find that your food digests better and you will be less likely to overeat.
