Physique-Friendly Restaurant Choices

At some point, you may be faced with eating at a fast food restaurant. It is always best to avoid eating fast food on your Lean Body Program. However, if you can't avoid it, you can avoid ruining your diet by following these simple rules:

1 / Entree Selection

Always choose grilled chicken meat over breaded chicken or a hamburger.

It's much leaner and healthier for you.

2 / Condiments

Select either mustard or salsa to flavor your fast food. Stay away from high-sugar ketchup, barbeque sauce, or sweet and sour sauce.

Also avoid mayonnaise or any 'special' sauces that come with the meal. They are often loaded with fat and calories.

3 / Foods To Avoid

Get rid of the bread or eat only half of the bun. Bread does not belong in your Lean Body program.

Avoiding french fries is something most people know to do, but watch out for those baked potatoes as well.

If you top it with sour cream and bacon bits, it's even worse. Eat baked potatoes dry, or with a little salsa.

4 / Salads

Be cautious about choosing salads. They can be even worse than sandwiches if they are loaded with dressing and the fixings.

Eat your salad plain or with a little lemon juice or balsamic vinegar on top. That will ensure it's a healthy option.

Remember - fast food restaurants are a last resort option only.
