How many times a year are you eating fast food? For the average American, the answer to that question is a whopping 159 times! If those meals consist of a burger and fries, you'd be eating 7,000 grams of fat a year just from fast food! That's so much fat, that it would fill up eleven 20 oz soda bottles!

The reality is that with our fast-paced modern lives, we're crunched for time and cutting out the convenience of fast food is not likely to happen. Instead of trying to remove fast food from your diet, try to make better choices when you find yourself at a fast food restaurant.
