  • The Bottom Line Although eating fast food sparingly is unlikely to cause addiction, persistent consumption may indicate an underlying issue. Fast food contains highly detrimental ingredients that are harmful to your health, whether they are addictive or not. Fast food can quickly lead to health complications such as obesity, heart disease, heart attack, stroke, hypertension and arterial hardening.

  • Tips for what to AVOID at fast food restaurants Supersized portions. An average fast food meal can run to 1000 calories or more, so choose a smaller portion size, order a side salad instead of fries, and don't supersize anything. At a typical restaurant, a single serving provides enough for two meals. Take half home or divide the portion with a dining partner.

      The Fast food snack can run up to 1000 caolories or more, decide before you go what you are going to get and stay away from the oversized meal. If you do either split it with a partner or take some home. If you do indulge decide to cut the frys, dessert, and coke to inculde a salad and water. http://www.helpguide.org/life/fast_food_nutrition.htm

      Tracy V. Wilson once said, The griddle is where all the action happens because they cook 25 or so burgers at once. They also have a bar that is used to speed up the topping. The 24/7 fryer makes each batch a quick and ready order. The soda fountains and the milkshake machine's are run automatically, and finally the servers are hired to move fast and serve quickly.

  • Check out the area in which you plan to open your restaurant to make sure the area isn't overcrowded with competition that could affect your sales. Choose an area that ensures sufficient traffic flow to get you noticed and attract business. Finding the right location for your fast food restaurant is vital to operate a successful and effective eatery. Step 2Seek startup funding that ensures you have enough cash flow to effectively staff your restaurant and stay open a sufficient number of hours. Make sure you have enough funding through your own investment, loans and from personal investors to purchase necessary equipment, buy quality food, decorate your space and put on a grand opening event. Step 3Apply for local and regional licenses you need to operate your restaurant. Prepare to go through occupational and food safety inspections before you can start serving customers. Purchase necessary insurance and set an opening date. Step 4Look for a fast food franchise that has a history of success. While getting in on the ground floor of a new franchise concept may sound enticing, you take much bigger risks than investing in a company with a quality product and aggressive marketing campaigns. Step 5Choose a fast food franchise that offers franchisees extensive training and back-office support. You'll be more effective if you can copy the successful practices that have worked to make the franchise popular. When questions or complications arise, you need to know you can call on an experienced company rep to walk you through the problem so that you can continue to run your restaurant efficiently.

  • Do you want high blood pressure? Hit the drive-through. Eating a McDonald’s chicken sandwich (any of “Ëœem, take your pick) will give you about 2/3 of the recommended daily amount of sodium.

  • If you check out the dollar menu at your favorite fast-food restaurant, the prices seem hard to beat – for about $3 you can get a double cheeseburger, a small order of fries and a dessert. You could easily spend three to four times as much for a nutritious meal at a sit-down restaurant. But with careful grocery shopping and a little time spent in the kitchen, you can eat healthy food on a strict budget.

  • A double cheeseburger provides 25 grams of protein, a good portion of the 50 grams to 125 grams of protein you need daily. But the burger also comes with 23 grams of saturated fat, including 11 grams of saturated fat. Your daily total of fat should not exceed 44 grams to 78 grams and your daily intake of saturated fat should not top 16 grams to 22 grams. A small order of fries adds another 11 grams of fat, including 1.5 grams of saturated fat. And three chocolate chip cookies adds another 24 grams of fat – 10.5 from saturated fat.
  • Your bargain meal provides 1,150 calories – more than half the total of a standard 2,000-calorie-a-day diet – and exceeds the high range of recommended saturated fat intake. For less than $3, you could eat a low-fat, healthy meal that included foods from all food groups. It would take an initial investment of about $10 in groceries and a commitment to spend about 30 minutes in the kitchen. A sample meal includes 1 cup of black beans, 1/2 cup brown rice, 1 cup of broccoli, a medium apple and 1cup of nonfat milk. The calories for the meal add up to about 560. Total fat is fewer than 4 grams and the saturated fat content equals less than 2 grams.
