Fast Foods

Fast food items tend to be high in calories, sodium, and saturated fat relative to their volume. A single fast food meal can contain 800 to 1500 calories, 1500 to 2500mg of sodium, and 30 to 60g of fat. However, many chains now offer options that fit within various dietary goals when chosen carefully.

Key Nutrients

  • A typical fast food burger with fries contains 800 to 1200 calories
  • Fast food is consistently high in sodium (1000 to 2000mg per meal)
  • Grilled chicken options provide 25 to 35g of protein with lower fat than fried alternatives
  • Most fast food items are low in fiber, vitamin C, and calcium

Tips

  • Choose grilled over fried and skip the bun or go open-faced to reduce calories by 150 to 300.
  • Dressings and sauces often add 100 to 250 calories per serving. Ask for them on the side.
  • Many fast food chains publish full nutrition information online. Checking before ordering makes informed choices easier.
