Learn to ask

Usually when we go to a fast food place, we ask what more we want, as is logical. However, making small changes in order, we can get cut calories we take in up to 50%:

  • If you go to a burger tries to ask for any that do not have many sauces and, above all, having little bread: for example the Big Mac is a bad choice. A good option is a hamburger with lettuce, tomato, pickles… such as a Whopper from Burger King.
  • Priority given to main courses rather than complements: undoubtedly the worst thing to do in a fast-food order all kinds of chips, such as potatoes, onion rings, fried cheese sticks… gives priority to a good burger before that.
  • Beware drink: a drink of fast food places is not like you buy at the supermarket. It has much more sugar, so make sure always, to ask for water or diet drinks at least.
  • Avoid large or giant menus, the only thing that enlarge kcal is what most have: potatoes and drink.

For example, a good order at Burger King would be a menu normal Whopper, possibly substituting potatoes for a few chicken nuggets, and accompanying it with a caesar salad, which is not bad. A bit worse would be the same menu with the potatoes and the nuggets as a complement.
