Let's talk about fast food and fast food restaurants here. We can discuss healthy menu choices, and what is great for the taste buds too.
I shall start. Here in Canada at my retail job when I am working in the mall ( I have a nurse interview tommorow) I am surrounded by fast food choices. I rarely make a lunch and take it with me. Instead I go and buy something. The biggest down fall of fast food has to be the greese. I don't count calories or any of that stuff, I just try to eat something from each food group with out too much fat or greese. Anyways in my quest for little greese these are some of the foods I eat and places I go:
Subway: I love subway, but the main downside is the cost. I often spend
$8-9 on lunch, and I always think to myself that is alot of money to spend on one meal. I usually choose the chicken teriyaki sub which I think tends to be one of the more pricey ones. Another nice thing about subway is that you can get custom made salads. Once again they tend to be a little bit pricey but they certianly win points with me on the health factor.
KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken).
Well I don't go to KFC that often but when I go, I usually get one of two things. First of all their chicken salad. Secondly the KFC twister. I avoid fries one because I don't care for them that much and two they are soooooo greasy.
Quiznos is another place I really like. There is not one that close by to where I work at the moment so I don't go their often but they have nice and hearty soups and sandwiches.
When I do order burgers (yes I love burgers too), I usually opt to not get fries and instead have a salad with it. That in itself can make the meal a bit healthier. If they don't put too much dressing on the salad then that dramatically decreases the greese.
Toco Time and Toco bell are another two of my favourites. I LOVE mexican food. I know it can be greasy though. Once again I often avoid getting the mexi fries (also known as tator tots). I usually order burritos or tocos.
As far as my favourite food goes PIZZA!!!! I find with fast food the grease is very difficult to avoid. That is why home made pizza is the ultimate best because you can control everything! We don't fry pizza but instead bake it nice and golden.
