More on How to Trim Fat from Fast Food

Make sure your sandwich comes with a lot of lettuce and other veggies.

Burgers made with veggie-meat patties are better off without the mayonnaise.

If you crave for pizza, the better choice would be a no-meat, thin crust slice topped with veggies only.

If you really can’t stop yourself or if the urge for the usual fatty food in fast food wins over you, you can burn it off later when you start feeling guilty already. Try the math:

One slice of regular crust pepperoni pizza can be burned off by riding a bike for an hour and 45 minutes total. A corndog can be burned off with an hour and 15 minutes of roller-skating.

Just make sure you don’t eat too much!

How to Make Fast-Food Eating “Healthy”

Order them plain. When ordering a burger, get it without cheese, bacon, sauce, mayo… You can, however, ask to have some more tomatoes and lettuce in them.

When ordering chicken, choose the dark meat portions (the thighs would be best!). Remove the extra crispy and extra fatty breaded skin (but that’s the yummy part! :p ).

Resist supersizing! The deal maybe “worth it” in terms of bucks per serving but you’re unnecessarily doubling (or even quadrupling) your calorie intake.

Order mashed potatoes (without the bacon and cheese topping) instead of French fries.

When going for salads, try going for a vinegrette dressing instead of the rich and thick cream ones. Avoid the other fatty stuff in the salad too like eggs, bacon bits and croutons.
