Fast Food - Is it Healthy at All?
I recommend that you never eat fast food unless you absolutely must. If you plan ahead, you will be able to make your very own fast food meals that are much healthier, cost less, and give you a much better looking body and better feeling body. But, if you find yourself at a fast food restaurant should you go ahead and eat or not eat?
It's actually much better to make a good choice at a fast food restaurant than not eat at all. But, you shouldn't have to make that choice most of the time!
You should always plan ahead. Take the time to think about the next day. Will you be away from home for extended periods of time? If so, prepare some quick and easy meals that you can eat while away from home. Eat a full meal once every 3 hours. Plan accordingly.
When I spend the day away from home, I might take a few plastic shaker bottles with me. I fill them with protein and ground oats (simply stick some quaker oats in a coffee grinder). I then fill a few baggies with walnuts, almonds, and/or peanuts.
You've got to add some veggies too! I like to cut up broccoli, cauliflower, all types of peppers, carrots, and cucumbers. I put them in a large baggie and they're ready to go. Combine them with the whey protein, oats, and walnuts and you have some perfect meals for building muscle and burning fat.
If, for some reason, you didn't plan ahead, you've got to make good choices when you find yourself ordering food at a fast food restaurant. What would you order if you were standing in a McDonald's right now? You wouldn't order french fries, a milk shake, an apple pie, a hamburger, or a fried chicken sandwich. So what would you order?
How about a GRILLED chicken salad, lots of veggies, and about a half a pack of ranch dressing? That's about the best meal you can get from McDonald's. Other fast food restaurants will have similar choices. Always drink water with your meals. You don't need anything else.
If you know you're going to be eating fast food and have no other choice, get nutrition facts for that restaurant and make a good choice before you go. Then, you won't be tempted to order anything else. It's actually better to check nutrition facts and make yourself a little list at what you can have from certain fast food restaurants. Make sure what you choose fits your meal plan.
Trust me, you DO NOT NEED fast food. Yes, it's quick and easy but so are some of the options I've already given you. You'll get faster results, better results, and you'll feel much better. I went without eating fast food for several years, and I felt much better without the fast food. Eating healthy tastes much better and feels great!
When you eat healthy foods, you WILL have higher energy levels for lifting weights. You'll create the OPTIMAL muscle building and fat burning environment. Your metabolism will be higher than ever. And your body will reward you with higher levels of muscle mass and lower levels of body fat.
Let's talk about Subway for a second. Most of the stuff you get in that place isn't good for you. The veggies are great, but that's about it! A grilled chicken salad packed with different veggies is a good choice. Stay away from most of the other stuff.
It's much easier and cheaper to prepare some quick meals at home. You can prepare most meals in much less time than it takes you to go through a drive through line or wait in a line inside a restaurant. With some planning, you can stop eating unhealthy foods, start eating healthy, and building more muscle and burning more fat. - 17269
