Is there a way to make fast food healthier?

This interests me…

There is no such thing as unhealthy food- everything is fine in moderation. If you chow down on Big Macs day after day, that’s not so great for your body. if you have it once a week, that’s fine. But here’s two things that help me when I’m eating take-out:

One thing that might help you is something called portion control. I’ve found it very hard coming to the USA after living in New Zealand- portions over here are just HUGE! Usually I’ll order a chinese dish here and manage to have plenty leftover for lunch the next day. A big thing is remembering to stop eating when you’re starting to feel full- I’ve only just been able to do that in the past 6 months. It’s very hard to do, especially if there’s only a tiny bit left on your plate, or you feel guilty about children starving in third world countries.

Another thing that’s good is eating a few orange wedges after a meal- the citric acid helps to break down some of the grease, plus it’s one of your 5 servings of fruit and veg a day.

There’s lots of little things to do that can help with fast food- there are lots of websites that you can google for ideas too. Just remember though, there’s no need to count every calorie and obsess- be conscious, but still enjoy life :)
