Lack of time is one of the major reasons why many people had foregone healthy eating daily. Fast food is one ready and fast available food. It’s just too tempting to eat it, and it’s cheap yet filling. Still, eating fast food is never actually a healthy nor a well-planned, balanced diet for an individual but if you must eat fast food, then should you take steps to improve the quality of your nutrition when on the run?
1. Watch the amount of food you consume in your everyday life. Your cravings will most likely be satisfied after you have finished your small order of fries, and you’ll be saving about over 100 calories when compared with the large orders. The same holds for sandwiches. So, just order the regular meal or even the kid’s meal for yourself.
2. Seek out the fast food chains where you will be able to order a sub or sandwich on a whole wheat bread or a wrap for a healthier sandwich, which have lower fat and lower calorie level than eating fried food a lot.
3. Many fast foods now offer healthy sides in place of the ever-presented French fries. Take options which are healthy. Or, if you are unable to bear by giving up the salt and oil, then why not get the healthy side order too to keep it balanced.
4. Why not just order a side salad whenever you are eating at fast food outlets. You would be less likely to be only filling up your tummy with the unhealthy foods, and the salad will be the healthy something for your tummy at the same time it provides fiber and vitamins to balance an unhealthy meal.
5. Do remember that chicken isn’t always the healthy choice. Many fast food chains usually offers fried breaded chicken sandwiches on only white bread that are actually just richer in fat and calories and yet it is far worse than a regular burger. Grilled chicken is the better option than having a fried chicken. As I have mentioned in tip (2) why not the whole wheat bread isn't it far better.
6. Now make it a daily habit to eat fruits, maybe a bowl of cereal, or some low fat yogurt before you set out to a running exercise or just a regular exercise. Regular eating can even help you feel full and avoid temptation all round in a day.
7. Have stock in your car like bottles of water and some healthy snacks. Before the craving hits you can have a small snack, and you’re less likely to pull yourself into that drive through fast food outlet for a fast food. Even I myself do pack stock when going out station so if I’m caught in a road jam I’ve got food to eat.
You see here a bottle of water! Don't have to follow by only drinking one bottle a day just drink more isn't it good for us? |
8. Why not consider a supermarket as a fast food break for yourself. In every supermarket you will always have a wide selection to pick from up a precut and washed fresh fruit, vegetables, low fat cheese, or yogurt. All round Malaysia many supermarkets also offer sushi in wide selections and other types of healthy prepared food.
9. This tip right now is about mayonnaise so listen and hold on to the mayo. A single tablespoon of a regular mayonnaise has at least 100 calories! But sure does it taste nice with mashed potatoes. If you are planning on making home made mashed potatoes with mayonnaise it is nice to be added in but try not doing so and just try eating plain potatoes it is really healthier. But if you like it sweet then how about sweet potatoes.
10. It is best not to add a very sugary drink into a meal, because it is very rich in calorie and yet to an already unhealthy meal. The best is always water and it is available everywhere and it is good for you. Drinking a large glass of water with your meal will help you feel full faster. In addition, don’t ever drink cold water when eating food that has oil because it will freeze the oil in your tummy.
Eat healthy like me this was what I had for breakfast it's whole grain bread with only egg.
This here as you know is a cup of milk and it is low fat milk. Try not taking full cream milk.
Now for coffee when you add milk in it be sure to use low fat milk because it is better than full cream milk for a well balanced diet.
