5 Ways To Transform Your Fast Food Choices!

Let's cut the BS!

We all love a good takeaway!

But when you are embarking on a health kick, you maybe tempted to abstain from your favourite fast food.

This can be a double edge sword, because restriction leads to binging.

So lets look at this in an all inclusive way.

Follow these simple steps to transform your fast food choices and stay on track with your health goals!

Go Fresh with Salad Sensations

Most fast-food chains offer a ‘make-your-own’ salad option, a great starting point for a healthy meal. Just be mindful of the toppings and dressings you choose.

Try delicious, healthy toppings: grilled chicken provides lean protein.

At the same time, a medley of colourful veggies like cherry tomatoes, carrots, and cucumbers offers a crunchy, fresh bite.

Top it all off with a light vinaigrette dressing, and you've got yourself a delicious, nutritious meal that's good for you and satisfying for your taste buds.

Sizzle, not Fry!

Say farewell to the greasy, calorie-laden fried foods and embrace the sizzle of grilled options.

From juicy grilled chicken to flaky grilled fish and even flavourful grilled veggies, you'll enjoy a meal that's not only delicious but also good for you.

Grilled foods retain more of their natural nutrients, making them a much better choice for a healthy lifestyle.

Don't compromise your health for taste. Enjoy both with grilled options, like grilled fish with your chips or grilled veggies instead of fries with your burger!

Veg-ify Your Sandwiches

Making healthier choices at fast-food places doesn't have to mean sacrificing taste.

Opt for a veggie-packed sandwich or wrap to provide fibre and essential nutrients to keep you fuelled throughout the day.

For a tasty twist, experiment with different greens and veggies, like mushrooms, grilled broccoli or roasted carrots.

And remember to add some flavour with healthy spreads like avocado or creamy hummus.

You'll find that choosing a more nutritious fast-food veggie-packed sandwich or wrap can be both satisfying and delicious.

Whole Grain Wonder

Don't settle for bland and boring buns!

Upgrade to the delicious and nutritious whole grain options that satisfy your taste buds and provide you with essential nutrients and fibre to fuel your day.

Whether you prefer a soft and fluffy whole-grain bun or a crunchy wrap, you'll enjoy the perfect balance of flavour and health benefits.

Make the switch to whole grain with your takeaway and enjoy the difference!

Saucy Solutions for Smarter Meals

Making healthier choices at fast-food restaurants is easy when you know what to look for.

To cut down on extra calories, skip the added sauce.

If you can't imagine your sandwich, burger, or wrap without a creamy dressing, ask for it on the side so you can control the amount you use.

With these simple swaps, you can enjoy a delicious and nutritious fast-food meal that's both satisfying and healthier.

At the end of the day...

Fast food is a part of life. It's something we can and should enjoy as part of an holistic approach to our health and fitness.

Obviously eating fast food every day isn't a good idea.

But we should be looking to shift our mindset from bad food vs good food to thinking about what I can do better.

I use the 80/20 rule with my clients.

80% of the time you should eat nutrient dense foods.

20% of the time eat fun foods.

This will keep you on track for the long run!
