Reducing Hot Dog Calories
If you're craving a hot dog, stick with the shortened foot-long version. Yes, the six-incher. Chili and cheese will almost double the calories.
Popular Sandwiches at Fast Food Restaurants & Calories
Most fast food fish sandwiches contain about the same calories - and sometimes even more calories than fast food cheeseburgers. That's because the fish is generally battered and deep fat fried.
Instead, enjoy your fish without the batter and cooked using a healthy method such as baking, steaming, broiling, pan or oven roasting - or grilling.
Craving a cheeseburger?
Opt for the 'children's size' and save about 1/2 the calories and fat.
Subway's veggie sub contains about 240 calories.
It's a great fast food option that is low in fat and calories - yet tastes delicious while leaving you feeling full and satisfied. Makes a great choice for Dinner-Time Dieters.
Fast Food Tacos to Enjoy While Dieting
Two regular tacos from Taco Bell contain less than 300 calories.
Another great taco stop when it comes to calories is Jack in the Box. Two of their regular tacos contain about 380 calories.
Fast Foods High in Cholesterol Content
The following menu choices are best avoided in the healthy eating plan. Over time foods which are high in cholesterol milligrams can contribute to heart disease and other circulatory diseases such as stroke.

About Caloric Intake & Weight Management
You've only got so many calories to spend for the day, and you need to keep
those at a minimum while losing weight. Therefore, spend your calories wisely!
Keep in mind that 3,500 calories equals one pound, so for every 3,500 calories that you consume over your daily calorie needs, a pound will practically glue itself to your hips or buttocks.
Look for foods low in calories and fat that take a long while to eat - such as baby carrots, hard sourdough pretzels, even sunflower seeds - although high in fat, a little goes a long weigh...or is that way?
