Grub on This, Give Up on That: 4 Smart Swaps at Your Favorite Fast Food Stops
Road tripping this summer? Don’t let all your hard work in the gym, and kitchen, go to waste when you stop for lunch. Packed full of fat, calories, sodium and sugar (yes sugar!), fast food can do some serious nutritional damage.
But we get it. Sometimes it’s your only option, so we pulled together four relatively healthy swaps for some of the most popular choices at these fast food stops.
Remember to cram your cooler full of fruits and veggies for snacks so you’re not ravenous when meal time rolls around, and promise to pick one of these and pass on the fries when you pull over.
