Fast food tip: Go green

By Mayo Clinic Staff

Can fast food be part of a healthy-eating plan? Sure, if you order wisely. Choose an entree salad with grilled chicken or shrimp, and garden vegetables. Avoid salads topped with breaded chicken or other fried toppings. And skip extras like cheese and croutons. Choose a dressing you like but be cautious with the amount you use.
