I ‘ve decided to revist a previous topic: the calories in our fast food choices.
In the Science & Health section of The Oklahoman, diet detective Charles Stuart Platkin offers advice on how to choose healthier food options from fast food menus.
Below I’ve listed a few of his tips on how to cut calories:

• Order your sandwich without mayo or special sauces.
• If you want chips, choose Baked Lays.
• Take the skin off chicken breasts.
• Choose cocktail sauce instead of tartar sauce.
• Go for anything low-carb.
• Eat only one bun or none.
• Always opt for grilled instead of battered, crispy or fried.
• Choose no dressing or vinaigrette insead of ranch.

From McDonald’s, try the premium grilled chicken classic sandwich without mayonnaise (370 calories, 4.5 grams fat, 50 grams carbs, 32 grams protein.)

From Burger King, try the tendergrill chicken garden salad without dressing (240 calories, 9 g fat, 8 g carbs, 33 g protein.)

From Wendy’s, try two quarter-pound classic singles without buns and nothing on them except ketchup (430 calories, 28 g fat, 4 g carbs, 38 g protein.)

From Taco Bell, two Fresco-style ranchero chicken soft tacos (340 calories, 9 g fat, 47 g carbs, 13 g protein.)

From Long John Silver’s, try the baked cod with two corn cobettes (310 calories, 10 g fat, 25 g carbs, 18 g protein.)
