Surviving Fast Food! Is a Heart Attack Convenient? Our #1 answer defending Fast Food is Convenience. We all know it’s not healthy for us, right? We all know that it’s not really high-quality food, right? We all know that the food is high in fat and calories too, right? Is Fast Food REALLY convenient enough to consider heart disease, heart attack, diabetes, clogged arteries, and low energy CONVENIENT? Really? But OKAY, I understand sometimes we get in a pinch! Sometimes, we’re on the road and have to eat quickly. I get it. So, if you’re trying to watch what you eat, but HAVE to eat Fast Food – What do you do? It’s all in understanding WHERE to eat, and WHAT to eat. Did you Know? All of Chick-Fil-A’s sandwiches are less than 500 calories, and they use whole breast meat chicken, not pressed or formed meat. The Chicken arrives raw at restaurants and each piece is filleted and breaded by hand. Try their Southwest Chargrilled Salad with the Reduced Fat Berry Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing for a total of 310 calories (save some calories by leaving off the tortilla slivers.
