NUTRITION INFORMATION FOR PARENTS:

Go to www.mypyramid.org and learn more about your daily food needs. You can also create your own plan.

How to Make Fast Food Friendlier

Feeding your children nutritious meals between all your daily activities can be a challenge. While you zoom back and forth between soccer practice, the dance recital, the PTA meeting and picking up the dry cleaning, you’re lucky to find time to grab a meal at the drive-thru. If you must eat on the go, here are some tips to make fast food healthier for you and your family members:

  • Pass on the “value-size.” When you supersize, the size of your fries isn’t the only thing that gets bigger.
  • Skip the sides. Eating a burger or sandwich by itself is often filling enough. If you do want a side, consider ordering a fruit cup or side salad. Most fast food restaurants now offer them.
  • Avoid double meat and bacon. A serving size of meat is 2-3 ounces — about the size of a deck of cards. You’re probably getting well over that with a single meat patty. Bacon is high in calories and fat with little nutrient content.
  • Try the grilled chicken sandwich. Poultry without skin is significantly leaner than the meats most fast-food companies use in their burgers.
  • Eat your sandwich open-faced. By eating only half the bun, you can eliminate unnecessary calories.
  • Try asking for a wheat bun. Some places offer a wheat alternative, some don’t. It never hurts to ask.
  • Skip the mayo and other calorie-laden dressings and sauces.
  • Drink water, diet soda or low-fat milk. Sodas are loaded with sugars, which have calories you don’t need.
