5 Fast-Food Fixes

Restaurants have hidden menus – you know stuff they will make for you if you know to ask and know how to ask for it.  I have been lurking around the counters to find some options that are healthier than some of the standard menu goods.

After you review these 5 Fast-Food Fixes you will walk in and order like you have X-ray goggles on and get exactly what you want without all the junk.

Here We Go… 5 Fast-Food Fixes They Don’t Want You To Know About.

Starbucks – Order A “Short” Drink

You can request the local barrista to make you a “short” 8-ounce cup of your favourite Starbuck’s brew.  This means BIG calorie savings and a few pennies savings too.  A grande white chocolate mocha, for example has 400 calories, that is the equivalent of about three Starbucks double fudge mini donuts.  The short has half that amount.

Red Robbin – Get The “Petite” Burger

This small burger was removed from the menu years ago, but the kitchen still makes if if you ask and it has about half the calories of the standard 931 calorie cheese burger.  If you’re embarrassed and feel silly about ordering a “petite” burger, just as for the small one, they know what you’re talking about.

Chipotle – Custom Tacos… Yes!

They’ll make combos that aren’t on the menu, so as for 3 crispy tacos with black beans, fajita veggies, tomatoe salsa and lettuce.  That saves you 615 calories and 28 grams of fat over a chicken burrito wtih black beans, rice, green salsa, cheese and sour cream.

Subway – 6 Inch Marinara… Hold The Meatballs

Don’t worry I am NOT getting rid of the protein.  The meatball sub tastes great but costs you 580 calories and 23 grams of fat.  If they swap the meatballs for roasted chicken you save 260 calories, and 19 grams of fat.  Top this one with oregano and a few black olives.  Jared would approve.

IHOP – Real Fruit On Top

Many of the menu’s pancakes and waffles come with “fruit topping” meaning some real fruit may be added to thick gooey syrup with artificial (fake) flavours and extra sugar drowning in calories on top of useless calories.  You can do better; IHOP can do better, since there is usually fresh fruit in the kitchen.  Order a short stack of buttermilk pancakes, and ask them to top it with whatever fresh fruit is available.  Every meal at IHOP will be a taste sensation surprise and save you anywhere from 200-900 calories.

So there you have it.  My 5 Fast-Food fixes that will give you all the flavour you are after, less of the calories and none of the extra cardio required.
