What is it about Fast Food that makes it so unhealthy for you?
I'm talking about McDonald's, Burger King, Whataburger, Wendy's ect.
I have been told for who knows how long that it is bad for you to eat, bad for you and just all around not healthy. Now I stopped eating fast food about 5 months ago and I have no regrets, aside from the cravings every now and then. I have more energy, and I have lost a bit of weight which is good. I realize that it is fried and such but what about it makes it so unhealthy to consume?
Answers:
Fast food has a lot of fat, a lot of calories and a lot of cholesterol. Once in a while, it's nice to have, but if you eat it everyday, chances are your overall health will go down. A typical meal in McDonald's, for example has about 700 calories. Check out the fast food websites and look up their nutritional information. See what foods you eat from the places and add up the fat and calorie content. It's amazing how much fat and calories there are in your typical fast food items.
