Fast food health directions – Split Meals
Whether it is Panda, McDonalds or Chipotle, they all have meals that are high in salt and fat. They add many more calories than most people can imagine. Even Chipotle, with its reputation for healthy food has a high calorie content and salt content. It depends on the foods you chose. Sour cream, the tacos, the sauces all have lots of salt and fat content. If you can control the amounts of these sauces etc, you can control the total caloric intake and salt intake.
The meals are also very large and can easily be split or can be taken home to eat the other half for a snack or another meal later in the day or the next day. My wife and I actually split a bowl when we go to Chipotle to limit the total caloric intake. In addition we find that we are actually full even after eating only half of a bowl. Wait for 20 minutes after eating and we guarantee that you will feel full. Eat slowly as well and before you know it you will feel full and find it more easy to leave the other half for later or share it with someone.
