Good Fast Food and Healthy Fast Food

Good fast food doesn't mean that it can't also be healthy fast food. Finding fast food that's nutritious and reasonably low in fat and calories used to be a challenge. Luckily for people who are calorie counting, fast-food chains now must show nutrition facts for the foods they are selling. Since that regulation was imposed, many good fast food chains have greatly improved their low-fat choices to offer healthy fast food.

You need to remember that this is still fast food, however. A few of the selections we talk about on this website get more than 30 percent of their calories from fat. This is the maximum amount that most dietitians recommend for a healthy diet. Still, these foods were the healthiest fast food on the menu -- and you can make up for them by eating lower-fat foods at other meals on the same day.

Good fast food is quick and cheap. Now it can be low in fat and calories. Here are some healthy fast food choices when you're going out for fast food.
