It’s a no-brainer! :) Quick & Easy Drive-Thru Survival Guide ●     Focus on lean protein options like chicken or fish that’s baked or grilled (not fried) ●     Bean dishes like chili are another healthy option ●     At Mexican-themed restaurants, order “fresco style” dishes with pico de gallo and guacamole, instead of sour cream and heavy cheeses ●     Say “yes” to salads but make sure they aren’t loaded with cheese, sour cream, and fried chicken — and choose a vinaigrette dressing ●     Instead of fries, order fruit as your side ●     Choose wraps instead of burgers with buns ●     If you do choose a hamburger with a bun, remove the top bun to cut back on highly refined carbs ●     Avoid heavy sauces and mayo ●     Remember that some items sound healthier than they are — like yogurt parfaits and turkey burgers ●     When it comes to drinks, go for water, unsweetened iced tea, or black coffee to avoid artificial sweeteners and added sugars And, if at all possible, have a game plan BEFORE you place your order!
