just because a food is "fast" doesn’t mean it's automatically unhealthy. many quick-service restaurants today offer whole wheat buns grilled chicken cuts salads and reduced-fat dressings on their menus. when eating out avoid fried items and sugary soft drinks. ask for more lettuce tomatoes onions or whatever kinds of veggies the restaurant has. at sub and sandwich places go for lean proteins such as turkey or roast beef. ask for mustard instead of mayo. avoid adding cheese to sandwiches which can contain about 100 calories per slice as well as saturated fats which should be limited for a more heart-healthy diet.
