FAST-FOOD CHOICES

Eating four of these a week can cut your kidney-cancer risk in half.

Hint: You need to peel it.

During these tough economic times, many of us are choosing fast-food restaurants as a dining out option in place of higher-priced venues.

Fortunately, many fast-food restaurants have expanded their menus to include more healthful selections. When dining out, think about ordering entrées such as a regular-size hamburger or veggie burger,grilled chicken sandwiches, baked potatoes with light sour cream or salads with grilled chicken and light dressings.

Skip the high saturated fat add-ons such as cheese and bacon. Instead of fries
consider side salads, fruit, reduced-fat ice cream and low-fat milk to round out your meal.
