Healthy Fast Food Options

Ok everyone knows healthy organic food is always best. But lets be realistic here. Fast food is not just convenient it is cheap! and when you are out of groceries and only have a few dollars to your name until payday it may be your only option. So if this happens don't beat yourself up over it. Just try to make better decisions when making your fast food selections. My Friend Jessica compiled this list of some of the low cal fast food options available to you. Thanks Jessica!

So here's a list of some low calorie fast food items and yes some of them are even cheap. Just remember that when you order one of the lower calorie burgers, don't follow it up with the artery clogging, heart attack inducing french fries or the ultra sweet soda. Yes, you can have fast food, but make healthy choices with it by choosing to drink water and have a side salad or some fruit with it. Also, while yes these items are low in calories and cheap don't overdo it on them. Please don't assume that just because they are healthier you can eat a ton of these items. One thing that people overlook all the time is their portion sizes.
