Fast food tip: Get grilled

By Mayo Clinic Staff

Can fast food be part of a healthy-eating plan? Sure, if you order wisely and choose fast food only occasionally. Skip fried and breaded foods, such as crispy chicken sandwiches and breaded fish fillets, which are high in fat and calories. Instead select grilled or roasted entrees, such as chicken breast or lean roast beef.
