Are fast food drinks pulling a fast one on you?
At any kind of restaurant or fast food chain where you have a choice of what size beverage to order, what do you usually end up choosing? According to statistics, most people land right in the middle, not the largest option but not the smallest either. Everything in moderation, right? Not if the fast food chains can help it! They want you to order the biggest, baddest of everything and they're don't have any scruples against using tricks to get you to do it. For example they've figured out that by simply calling a medium a "small," a large a "medium," and creating a new, even bigger "large" size they get people to order more -- i.e. they keep ordering the middle size, which is of course, bigger (and more expensive).

Every now and then, we find ourselves in a bit of a bind. We're on the go, we're hungry, and we need to eat. Like, now. But, the problem is, the only available option is fast food. This is where a diet that is firmly placed on its tracks can suddenly become derailed.
Occasionally grabbing breakfast on the run is one of those inevitabilities. After all, who hasn't overslept or woken up only to find that the last bit of cereal milk has been usurped by the last breakfaster? And grabbing breakfast on the go is better than not having any at all.
Since my return to working in an office (at least on a part-time basis,) I've been giving some consideration to lunches. The consensus, at least among most of my co-workers, is that bringing your own lunch is not only healthier for the wallet, but healthier for the waistline too. But these days, it seems like healthy choices are available everywhere -- even fast foods joints have some sort of customizable salad option, and with nutritional information often available, it's easy to make a healthy choice. And considering I don't spend every day at the office, eating out two times a week isn't such a financial burden.
