Fast food calories
By Catalogs Editorial Staff
These examples of fast food calories show that we may not realize just how many grams of fat and calories are in our favorite treats. Credit must be given, however, to the large fast food chains for introducing healthier foods such as salads to their menus. Patrons always have a choice about what foods to order. Soda can be replaced with juice or milk, burgers by salads, and smaller portions can be purchased in order to make eating fast food calories more health conscious. Here are some numbers for you to consider.
