How to Eat Healthy at Fast Food Restaurants While in Fitness Contest Preparation

American fast food restaurants have captured the hearts of many Americans today. They provide the ease of preparing your favorite orders such as hamburgers, salads, milk shakes, french fries, Apple pies and even famous breakfast means such as pancakes and sausage. Not only is fast food a luxury leisure, but it has it's side effects. Over time, consumption of fast food can cause heartburn, excessive weight gain , especially in the abdominal section, and promote gluttony. French fries are cooked down in heavy oil which is loaded with unhealthy cholesterol, which may become a threat to your heart if consumed regularly.
How can people resist the great fast food titans without feeling too strict on themselves? Wendys, Taco Bell, McDonalds, Burger King, Applebees, Kentucky Fried Chicken "KFC" and Roy Rogers serves delicious food to all who desire to consume. At times, the food tastes exceptionally good in which one has to wonder at times if they put special drugs in the fast food orders to keep people's taste buds addicted to them. A good thing to know for bodybuilders, fitness model and regular gym buffs is that you can eat fast food and still keep that lean physique. How so? It's all about what someone chooses to eat from the fast food menu that helps one keep muscle on or pile body fat slowly over the hard earned muscle. Examples of healthy food that is recommended to consume from any fast food restaurants are garden salads, low fat milkshakes of any flavor, grilled chicken sandwiches, low fat mayonaise on food, bbq chicken sandwiches and grilled chicken burritos. It's ok to add some sauce to food, as we have to keep some kind of dry taste off of what we eat. Remember to moderate adding too much sauce to anything from fast food restaurants, because most likely, it contains lots of sodium. As we all know, sodium intake should be highly moderated, because that determines how much water weight you hold and how much definition your muscular cuts show at time of the bodybuilding fitness contest.
Last but not least, don't go overboard spending too much money on food for your bodybuilding contest. If fast food is a must have everyday, see that you spend no more than ten dollars. Besides, look at it as just a snack and not apart of your regular daily eating regimen. Focus more on lean meats, fish, raw fruit and vegetable juicing and incorporate your vitamin, protein and additional supplement intake regularly. There is nothing wrong giving into fast food temptation every now and then. We are all human and it does make sense to binge eat.
