Fast Food & Dieting
Why
is fast food called fast food?
Because nothing helps you to put on weight as fast.
It may be okay to
cook fast food at home
where you can control the ingredients,
but eating it in a fast food restaurant
is ASKING to be fat.
Some scary examples
| Food Item | Fat | Calories |
| Plain croissant | 12 | 240 |
| Cheese Danish | 25 | 360 |
| Hash browns (½ cup) | 9 | 150 |
| Fries (small serving | 10 | 210 |
| Hot dog (regular, plain) | 15 | 250 |
| Taco (small, no mayo/cheese) | 21 | 370 |

Remember
If you're trying to lose
weight,
you should eat no more than
about 30-35 grams of fat, per day
I know fast food
is convenient
I know the kids adore it
I know it's in-your-face everywhere you go
But it ain't worth it
