When you’re constantly on the go, fast food may be the only option for your children.
The American Heart Association suggests these healthier choices at fast food restaurants:
Health Tips
* Order just a sandwich or burger without any sides.
* If you do opt for a side, skip the fries and choose vegetables or fruit.
* Order a baked potato and skip the burger.
* Choose just one topping to avoid loading up on fat and calories.
* Choose chicken that’s grilled instead of fried. And request it on a wheat bun.
* Skip soda in favour of low-fat milk, 100 per cent juice or water.
