Healthy Habits: When You Have to Eat Fast Food

As much as possible, we believe that fast food chains should be avoided, but once in a while, there just aren't any other options. Instead of giving up and making unhealthy choices (a Big Mac and fries is nearly 1000 whopping calories!) we put together a list of reasonable options for various chains located in Hawaii. The meals listed below are between 300-500 calories. 

McDonald's: 

Premium Grilled Chicken Sandwich (extra veggies, no mayo) 
Fruit and Walnuts 
Water and Black Coffee 

Subway:

Six-inch Turkey Breast Sandwich on nine-grain wheat bread 
Top with lots of veggies, avocado, and mustard! 

Taco Bell: 

Bean Burrito (Fresco-style) 
Water or Unsweetened Iced Tea 

KFC: 

Grilled Chicken Drumsticks (remove any skin) 
Green Beans 
Mashed Potatoes 
Unsweetened Iced Tea 

Burger King: 

Whopper Jr. (no mayo) 
Garden Side Salad 

Wendy's: 

Large Chili (no crackers, no cheese) 
Water or Unsweetened Iced Tea 


Remember, the key to success is to always plan ahead! If you know you must eat out at an unhealthy place, be sure to look at the menu ahead of time. You'll be much less likely to give into temptation.
