However, not all of the options at Subway are safe bets! In general, it’s best to remember to stay away from a lot of cheese. And white bread, and mayonnaise, or the calories could add up quickly!

healthy foods to eat at various fast food and sit-down restaurants. Today I will be featuring McDonald’s, the most popular (for better or worse) fast food restaurant there is! McDonald’s is famous for having unhealthy choices, and they’re often bait for being attacked for the fillers and preservatives they put in their foods to keep costs down.

But they are also one of the more accommodating restaurants when it comes to finding a healthier option. Did you know they even have a section on their website of foods under 400 calories? They also have an excellent meal builder, and you can even sort for foods by calories. And total fat, sodium content, protein, and more!
