We all eat out a few times per week, unfortunately not all take-away food is beneficial to you. But by using a few simple tips, you can 'health-ify' your fast food meals quickly and easily.BREAKFAST TIPS:
. Go for food high in protein such as bacon and eggs, sausage, & ham. Use a paper towel to soak up unneeded grease
. Get an extra slice of wholemeal toast if you need more carbohydrates
. Get a healthy cereal with low sugar combined with low fat milk
. Eat fruits low in sugar such as apples, grapefruits, pears, strawberries and blueberries.
. Stay clear of fruit juices as they have a high sugar content
. Reduce the amount of sugar and cream you put into your coffee
LUNCH and DINNER TIPS:
. When eating out, try to eat until you're satisfied, not until you're full
. Stay away from soft drinks filled with sugar by opting to get bottled water or unsweetened tee
. When ordering vegetables, stick with the principle “the greener the better”
. A good desert could be sugar free ice cream
. Grilled chicken sandwiches can be made healthier by ordering them without mayonnaise
. Hamburgers are a common fast food item, to make them healthier ask to take out half the bread and fill it with more vegetables
. Rather than French fries, order some roast potatoes
. If you must have alcohol, get a low-carb beer. Consume twice as much pure water as you do alcohol
. Drink lots of fresh water before meals to feel fuller, that way you wont eat as much food
. Eat consistently through out the day, if you haven't eaten consistently all day you are most likely to over eat when your meal finally comes
. Steam vegetables are healthy, fried vegetables are not.
. When buying a packet of chips, choose a packet of lightly salted peanuts instead. They contain protein and good fat.
You have now been informed on how to combat eating out in a healthy way, there is no need to fear fast food anymore!
Make it a great day!
