I knew that eating out was terrible for you, but didnt realize exactly how terrible it could be if you make the wrong decisions. And I have to admit, I am often in the drive thru line for convenience. After looking at this I feel terrible about feeding my kid this stuff.
The following excerpt is from this website (http://health.msn.com/nutrition/articlepage.aspx?cp-documentid=100234410&page=1) on msn today. This was the most shocking one to me.
DAIRY QUEEN:
Chicken Strip Basket with Country Gravy (6 piece)
1,640 calories
74 g fat (12 g saturated, 1 g trans)
3,690 mg sodium
Sodium equivalent: Like eating 11 large orders of McDonald's French fries! Talk about a value meal: One Chicken Strip Basket gives you almost two days' payload of sodium! If thinking about it doesn't elevate your blood pressure, eating it might. Don't become a statistic.
Eat this instead:
Crispy Chicken Sandwich
560 calories
28 g fat (3.5 g saturated)
980 mg sodium
Take a looksy at the rest of them on the website. Geeeez....
