[Image: jpeg image]Try these helpful tips when ordering at fast food restaurants:
•Order grilled items: Most menus offer both fried and grilled options - go for the grilled.
• Make substitutions – have it your way: Skip the mayo and opt for mustard; load up on lettuce, tomatoes and pickles. Eating Mexican? Ask for salsa instead of sour cream.
• Don’t “super size” it: Be aware of portion sizes. Try a kid's meal or share a meal with your spouse or friend.
• Opt for a healthier side item: Choose the salad or fruit instead of the fries.
• Don't drink calories: Sodas contain "empty" calories. Ask for water, milk or 100% juice.
