My Top HEALTHY Fast Food Choices

If you know me… you know I LOVE to eat. I’m currently in between moving and haven’t had much time to make my own food; therefore, I have to resort to eating out a lot. Unfortunately, fast food does not always have the best of choices. When I go out to eat, I make sure I check the macro-nutrients (usually using google or myfitnesspal). I like going with low calorie & high protein choices. And try to stay away from sugary/high calorie soft drinks, bottled water is your best bet. Here are some of my top somewhat healthier fast food choices.
