Healthy fast food? Yes it's possible

By Mayo Clinic Staff

You can eat healthy away from home, even at fast-food restaurants. Try these tips: 1. Keep portions small. 2. Choose grilled items, such as turkey or chicken breast. 3. Order an entree salad with vegetables and grilled chicken or shrimp. 4. Select a healthy side dish, such as fruit or a baked potato. 5. Skip sodas and shakes. Instead, order water or unsweetened iced tea.
