As you can see everything I have listed is pretty high in carbs and sodium so I don't plan to eat out that often but it helps to know what I can have if I need to. If you would like to know some of the healthiest things at other restaurants either you can go to their site and find out the nutritional info for yourself or just leave me a comment and let me know what restaurant and I will be happy to add it to the ones listed above.
I may have to copy this! It's a nice handy guide. Thanks for compiling!
ReplyDeleteI belive that I'm a lucky girls for hating fast food like these!
ReplyDeleteI guess it would be harder for me to stay in my track if I loved them.
So my advice for you is, if you like those kinds of food so much them you should allow yourself to have them once or twice a month. :)
Have you ever watched "Super Size Me" by Morgan Spurlock? I just watched it and was SHOCKED by so much of the information. I am not one who has a problem with eating out as I am usually home and if need a snack I grab those handy fruits (apples, bananas), but occasionaly have to eat on the road when doing long trips. In the movie, his research concluded that 95% of deititians said you should NEVER eat fast food. shocking when it's easy to find such places and the companies say we should "know better".
ReplyDeleteI try not to eat out to much because its to much temptation for me but when I do I try to pick the healthiest thing on the menu. That's what this list is about. I was still surprised though because I really thought I veggie burger would be healthy but if you look it has alot of sodium in it. I'm going to add more restaurants later but it took me awhile just to compose this list.
ReplyDeleteLaine I have seen that show before. I definitely believe that most fast food is bad for us but for those few times that its easier to grab something when I'm out I at least pick the healthiest thing on the menu. Its all about making better choices no matter what circumstance you are in.
Like Lisa, I am one of the lucky ones that never liked fast food.
ReplyDeleteI guess it would be OK to eat such meals from time to time. To avoid eating them too often why not think of alternatives. For example, you can carry a bag of nuts in your purse and eat that instead. Nuts are very healthy and filling and they take little space so they are easy to carry around. Make your own sandwich at home and take it with you when you go out. Planning ahead really helps.
Floriana you are right I do need to start thinking ahead more and planning for times when I need something on the go. You always have such great tips. Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteI just came across your health and fitness blog. Your article about eating out, but sticking to healthier options was especially interesting. I especially liked your comments about the nutritional facts in each of these items. I am adding you to my favorites. We're in the same industry, the business of encouraging health and fitness. We market a product called The AbStand: http://www.theabstand.net. We would love for you and your readers to check out our ab workout product. Any feedback would be appreciated as well. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteElise I went to the site you suggested and the machine looks very interesting. I'm use to doing ab exercises laying on the ground which can be very hard on your back and neck. This does look alot easier but I'm guessing its not as easy as it looks. Thanks for the site.
