High Sodium Chicken Strip Basket

Dairy Queen 6-piece Chicken Strip Basket with Country Gravy and Fries

1,520 calories
72 g fat
3,440 mg sodium

Chicken is usually the healthy choice, right? Not if it is mummified in breading and deep-fried into oblivion. This chicken strip meal has more grams of fat than 4 Dairy Queen Homestyle Burgers and almost 500 more calories than a Large Strawberry CheeseQuake Blizzard. Who would have thought that chicken could have more calories than something called a CheeseQuake? Again, repeat after me: No fried food.

Misleading "Healthy" Food

Arby's Roast Turkey and Swiss Market Fresh Sandwich

710 calories
28 grams of fat
1,790 mg sodium

Don't be fooled by the word "fresh" in the name. This sandwich's 2 slices of honey wheat bread alone deliver more than 350 calories.

The Arby's Roast Turkey and Swiss Market Fresh Sandwich is processed and high in sodium. Plus, there is a generous smear of mayo between the bread, and definitely not enough veggies to give you even one serving of something healthy.

Everything we eat has alot of sodium and fat in it. There's a motto that I have, and I go by it. Once in a blue moon, or every now and then, you can eat some of this stuff, as long as its not everyday or all the time.
I cook dinner at home every nite, so once in a while for me, its a break from the kitchen. But its not all the time.

If I want to eat lean and healthy, I stay home. When I go out, I want a treat.

If someone is stupid enough to think the word "fresh" in a menu listing means low-calorie, they are beyond help anyway.

My husband is now on a diet....I cook for him. He has gone from 230 pounds down to 219 pounds because I cook what I know is a healthy meal. He is a diabetic also so he needs guidance. When you're a well informed shopper it's not hard to pick up the right foods that are healthy - easy to cook- and those foods you can cook ahead of time ie: chicken breast, broccoli, etc. etc. When he is hungery I just warm up these foods, but never use the Microwave since it destroys the vitamins and minerals.

Isn't this the same old crap the most of us health conscious people of the planet earth have been exposed to for more than 20 years? It is simply information that has been re-hashed and been regurgitated again and again.

What are the five newest fast food offenders? You tease us with the title but never come up with the offenders. Just lots of links that have nothing to do with the article. I'm sick of this S__t.
