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.
