Health Issues

With a nation full of fast food lovers who refuse to give up their addictions, even when their waist bands grow tighter, it might help to point out the best and worst decisions you can make while you are sitting in the drive through.

Everyone loves a nice side of hot, salty, greasy fries with their meal. All fries are not created equally when the caloric contents of the fries are compared side by side the results are clear. The worst fries for you are Dairy Queen fries, the regular size fries have a whopping 730 calories! The best for you are Sonics large regular fries. They only have 280 Calories.

If you are craving a burger go to White Castle, where their regular burger only has 140 calories. They are tiny though, so if you are in the mood to eat a little bit more go to Wendys and have a Jr. Hamburger which has 230 calories. You should run screaming from Carls Jr. Big Hamburger with its 470 calories.

If you are in the mood for some finger foods or want to feel like a kid again check out the chicken pieces that some of the fast food restaurants are offering. Do not eat the chicken strip basket at Dairy Queen. That basket of chicken has more calories than an entire meal. They top out at a whopping 1270 calories! A better choice by far is Wendys 5 piece chicken nuggets. They have a measly 230 calories.

For chicken sandwiches stay away from Hardees Big Fillet which has 800 calories. Go to KFCs Honey BBQ snacker instead, which has 210 calories.

So if you have to go out to eat, healthy options are out there. You just may have to go to three or four restaurants to get a full meal, but it is possible.
