In fact, most fast food chains have added healthier options to their menus in the past couple of years. No, I'm not talking only about bland salads without dressing; you'll see that there are many juicy, tasty items to choose from.

Before I get into specifics, though, there are a few basic rules you should keep in mind when trying to pick healthy fast foods. Remember that good options include:

		The smallest size of burger
		Grilled chicken sandwiches or salads
		Low-fat dressings and sauces (or none at all)
		Diet soft drinks or water

A few things to avoid:
<

		Super sizes of anything
		Fried or breaded chicken or fish
		Chicken nuggets
		High-fat sauces and dressings
		Onion rings
		Extra cheese

That said, here is the lowdown on the best fast food choices. Although burgers are never a very healthy option, I know guys need that burger fix every so often, so I tried to provide you with the best possible options. But in exchange, I did stick you with a few salads. Try one; you'll be surprised how tasty and satisfying some of them are.Finally, keep in mind that if you must have side orders like fries with your meal, choose the smallest size possible, or try a plain baked potato or vegetables instead.
