RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

Eating healthy is about making smarter choices, and it can be done ANYWHERE! McDonalds breakfast? Egg McMuffin, toss the english muffin & eat the ham/egg (high protein). Chipotle lunch? Burrito bowl, instead of rice have a black bean (high fiber/protein) base, then salsa & meat of choice (protein) and guacamole (healthy fat). Wendys dinner? Spicy chicken, no mayo & toss the bun, with a small chili or fruit cup.

It's the unnecessary extras (breads, cheese, mayo, dressings, sour cream, etc) that make the calories, fat, sodium, carbs add up, which leads to body fat gain. Cut them out, and you can cut the calories/fat/sodium/carbs nearly in half no matter what you order.
