Q: I spend most of my workday in the car and am forced to eat fast
food for lunch. I try to make good choices but find it difficult
without specific nutrient information - any ideas? A: Yes! As more and more people attempt to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight, companies are trying to make nutrition information more easily available. Most fast food chains now offer the nutrition information of their menu items on their website. You most likely patronize the same places over and over, so take a few minutes when you are at a computer to peruse your favorite hangout's website. You can check out how nutritious your most recent choice was and which ones make the best options.While these online nutrition guides are helpful in making healthier choices, there are still ways to improve your lunch even more. Consider packing a lunch to take with you in the car - sandwiches, fruit, baby carrots or other cut up vegetables make a great meal on-the-go. Peanut butter doesn't require refrigeration, but if you prefer sandwich fillers that do, put your lunch in a freezer bag with an ice pack and it will be ready when you are. You can even make it the night before if mornings tend to be too rushed. In just a few minutes, you can pull together a lunch that saves you time, money and most of all - calories and fat.
