Fast Foods

Most fast foods fall into the "avoid" category. They are dripping with saturated fats, trans fats, sugars, and empty calories. But there are ways to eat wisely, even at a fast-food restaurant: Choose broiled or grilled food over fried or deep-fried foods, and choose burgers without all the toppings and special sauces. Look for the salad bar. When you go out for pizza, choose thin-crust vegetarian pizzas. The tomato sauce may play a role in preventing prostate cancer due to lycopene, an antioxidant found in tomato products.
