Fast Food Alternatives
Drive by the drive-thru. You don't have to break for a burger! Try these ideas
instead.
- Most
grocery store delis have ready-made sandwiches. They're generally lower in
fat and calories (check the nutrition labels) than a burger and fries. And
it takes about the same amount of time as a drive-thru.
- Convenience
stores might surprise you with a selection of the same. Pick up a turkey and
cheese sandwich, pretzels and a V8 - it'll set you back only 410 calories
and 7 grams of fat. Some stores stock new sandwiches daily.
- The
convenience store also has low-fat snacks you may not have considered.
- Granola
bar (180 calories, 6 fat grams)
- Pretzels
(110 calories, 0/1 fat grams)
- Beef
Jerky (80 calories, .5 fat grams)
- Pack a
snack for you and the kids.
- A zipper
baggie of chopped veggies can hold off hunger in kids just long enough to
get where you're going without a fast food stop.
- A box of
raisins can do the same. Plus, they shrivel up after a few days on the floor
of your car so they're easy to vacuum!
- Bottled
water might hold off hunger, but it will likely add a potty stop.
Just as fast, not as fattening!
