Fast Food (10/20)

List item

This is the ultimate food to avoid when you diet, and in general.

Fast food used to be the number one go-to option for a quick, tasty, filling snack, but not anymore. If you really want your diet to work, you need to stay away from pretty much every type of fast food you can think of.

These meals contain several items already mentioned in this article, including burgers, processed meat, sugary drinks, white bread and potato chips, but this time, in the form of the French fry.

All of these items are going to be high in saturated fat, trans fats, salt and offer very little in the way of nutritional value. Some fast food options can contain over half of your daily calorie intake, double your fat intake and 3-4 times your daily sodium intake, all in one meal.

Although some companies have started to offer a variety of healthier options, it’s still a good idea to stay away. Even the salads can be covered in dressings that contain fat and refined sugar.
