Hamburgers:
Order a single patty, on a whole-wheat bun if you can, get
extra tomato, lettuce, green pepper rings and onions,
and hold the “special sauce” and mayo. If you really want
fries, order the small. Enjoy with a large ice-cold sugar-
free iced tea.
Sandwiches, Paninis, Subs & Wraps:
Always go for whole-grain breads, include lots of
vegetables, a protein source like hummus, lean roast
beef, or chicken (instead of the “assorted meats” which
tend to be higher in fat and salt), slip in some cheese.
Grab a vegetable juice to sip with it.
Crispy Fried Chicken & Fish:
Chicken and fish are healthy choices, just not fried in
batter, which makes them high in fat. Instead, choose
grilled, roasted or baked. A side salad and carton of low-
fat milk rounds it out.
Pizza:
Choose thin, whole-wheat crusts; load them with added
vegetable toppings and extra tomato sauce if you can.
For something different (and healthier!), try chicken or
seafood instead of pepperoni.
