Americans gorge on fast food. Be it
greasy burgers, tacos, fried chicken, baked potatoes,
sandwiches or pizzas. Fast
food is so popular in the U.S. that there are more
than 300,000 fast food restaurants in the U.S. Fast
food has become a part of the busy American lifestyle
because it is convenient, tasty and time-saving. But,
BEWARE! Fast food nutrition facts reveal that it is
often high in calories, sodium, fat and cholesterol.
On the average, to maintain desirable weight, men need
about 2,700 calories per day and women need about 2,000
calories per day. If you want to lose
weight fast, you must take in fewer calories than
you burn. This means that you must either choose foods
with fewer calories, or you must increase your physical
activity, preferably both.
Make healthy choices within your fast food. Try to
fit fast food
into a balanced, healthy diet.
