Quiz: can you choose the lesser of two nutritional evils?
While I wouldn't recommend making a visit to one of these places a daily ritual, sometimes you just can't avoid grabbing a snack or lunch at places with less than perfect nutritional profiles. Fast food, coffee shops, and restaurants may not be able to offer you the best choices when it comes to a healthy meal, but you can train yourself to sniff out the lesser of two evils. Try this quiz from Women's Health Magazine and see how you score when having to quickly to choose between two similar food choices. Some of the answers may surprise you. For instance, did you know that a strawberry Coolatta from Dunkin Donuts has an amazing 19 less grams of fat than a Raspberry Frozen Blend from Krispy Kreme, as well as 300 less calories? Or that a Quarter Pounder has nearly half that fat of a Whopper, though both are 4 ounce burgers? Of course, they didn't pit either burger up against a nice side salad, but that wouldn't have been any fun now, would it?
Again, I'm not recommending you eat these foods, but it was an interesting way for me to learn more about the fast food choices I encounter when I'm on the run. If you're truly interested in sticking to your diet while you're on the go, here are 15 tips to help you stay on course.
