Here's How You Deal with Fast Food

By Owen Tapp

Is there ANY fast food that's really good for you? I actually never recommend that you eat ANY fast food, BUT sometimes we forget to plan ahead and find ourselves in a bad situation. Do you just not eat or do we order the fast food?

Never go without eating. It's actually much worse to skip a meal than to make a good choice at a fast food restaurant. Simply make a good choice, and you'll be okay.

It's very easy to plan ahead. Take a few minutes to think about the upcoming day. If you're going to be away from home for extended periods of time, take some quick and easy meals with you. Take enough with you so you can eat a full meal once every 3 hours or so.

Some quick and easy meals that you can take with you are shaker bottles filled with whey protein and ground oats. Add a few baggies of walnuts and you've got some awesome fat burning and muscle building meals. They only take a few minutes to prepare and eat!

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?

A better choice would be a chicken salad with about a half pack of ranch dressing. Eat all the veggies in the salad. Don't take them off or order the salad without them. And always order a water. Never order a Coke or anything else. Drink water!

I highly recommend that you look up nutrition facts for restaurants that you may find yourself at one day. Make a list and keep it in your wallet or purse. When you find yourself at the counter ordering, make sure you follow your list. You'll build more muscle and burn more fat this way.

You do not need to eat fast food at all. When you quit eating fast food, I guarantee you'll feel better, look better, and become a healthier person. Fast food actually makes me sick now. Just the taste of all the grease makes me sick. I love eating healthy - tastes better and feels better!

Healthy eating gives you high energy levels for those weight lifting workouts, creates the optimal environment inside your body for building muscle and burning fat, and keeps your metabolism revved. Your body will reward you for feeding it what it needs! And it definitely doesn't need fast food.

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.
