Calorie count - fast food

Spanish VersionPrint-Friendly  

Fast food is easy and available almost everywhere. However, a lot of fast food is high in calories, saturated fat, and salt. Yet sometimes, you may need the convenience of fast food. You do not have to avoid fast food completely. You simply need to make healthier choices. For example, you can include a salad with your meal (be careful with creamy dressing or fried toppings). You can also choose baked or grilled instead of fried options.

You can find nutrition information for most fast food chains online or in the restaurant. Some fast food chains offer healthier options on their menus. Use this information to help you make better choices when you choose fast food.

Here is a list of some popular fast food items, their serving sizes, and the number of calories in each.
