“You can still eat healthy, even when you’re eating at a fast food restaurant. The following selections from these common restaurants are good choices because they are lower in fat than many of the other items. If you don’t pay attention, you could be eating a lot more than you thought! For example, the Meatsa Sandwich at Little Caesar’s is 1,036 calories and 56 grams of fat. But a slice of Pan! Pan! Pepperoni pizza is only 181 calories and 6 grams of fat. Keep this list on hand.
