This compact and easy-to-carry Guide to Healthy Fast-Food Eating contains two main sections. In the first section, you’ll learn how to eat healthier with diabetes (whether you are eating at home or away from home). You’ll also gather skills and strategies on how to eat healthier in restaurants.
In section 2, you’ll find a baker’s dozen (13) of the top fast-food restaurant chains across the nation. This category of fast-food restaurants represents the most popular restaurants, with more than 100,000 locations worldwide. These are the restaurants that people frequent most often. They are also the category of restaurants for which the most nutrition information is now widely available.
In our fast-paced, convenience-focused world, it’s likely that you’ll continue to eat fast-food restaurant meals in your office, at home, or at the ball field.
