It can be easy for fast food to take over your health. How do you eat healthy fast foods? First, make sure you know what you're ordering. It may be tempting to order the most expensive item, but fast food is high in sodium and low-fiber fruits and vegetables. Also, be aware of the amount you are consuming daily in sugar. While most fast food places offer children's meals, you can also order items that are better for your health.

Fast food restaurants often offer healthy choices. Instead of the usual french fries, you can order a salad with low-fat dressing, a baked potato, or a fruit bowl. Fresh fruit or sorbet is a good option if you are looking for a sweet dessert. Even if cheeseburgers are your favorite, you don’t have to get a fatty one. Many fast-food restaurants offer healthier options, which can be found on their websites.

Fast food restaurants offer a variety of healthy options. You can choose to order the kid's menu or a salad with your preferred dressing. You can choose a different meal and skip the calorie-laden sides. To reduce the time spent cleaning and cooking, you can consider subscription boxes for meal delivery.


Apart from eating a fresh salad and a fruit, you may also order a chicken-skewer. A great option is the barebones taco. It contains shredded chicken, lettuce and tomato as well as cheddar cheese. It is high on calories but has low amounts of sodium and saturated fat. Dietitian Rosanne Rust recommends a Beef Fresco Crunchy Taco. These are lower-calorie and contain less salt than the barebones taco. You can order a cup of coffee with a side dish of vegetables.

How to make a perfect Omelette

Omelets is one of my favourite breakfast foods. But how do you create them perfectly? I've tried many different methods and recipes, but none of them seem to work! So I am sharing some tips and tricks today to help you make fluffy, delicious omelets every morning.

It is important to know that eggs can be temperamental when making omelets. They must be fresh, preferably from the organic market, and be kept cold until cooking. You must keep them cool enough to allow the whites to form properly and the yolks to become too runny if they're not kept at the right temperature. Your omelets will look strangely colored if this happens. If you're going to cook them immediately, it is best if the eggs are still warm.

Another tip is to separate the egg before adding it to the pan. You don't want the white to get mixed with the yolk, as this could cause the egg to curdle.

If you add the egg directly onto the stovetop, you might end up burning the bottom part of the egg, which would ruin the texture of your omelet. Instead, place the egg in the microwave for 10 second before you put it in the skillet. The microwave heat is sufficient to cook the egg without overcooking.

Next, let's talk about mixing the eggs. When mixing eggs, it is important to thoroughly beat them. You need to turn the bowl of the mixer upside down. Then shake the bowl vigorously. This allows the air to be whipped and the egg to be mixed thoroughly.

Now comes the fun part - pouring the milk into the mixture. Mix half of the milk with the eggs. Then fold the eggs in half into the remaining milk. Do not worry if you see streaks of egg; they will disappear when the omelet is flipped.

After you have folded your eggs, heat up the oil on medium heat. Wait for it to get hot. Once the oil starts getting hot, add 1/4 cup of butter to the pan and swirl it around to coat the entire surface of the pan. Open the lid and sprinkle salt on the pan. An additional pinch of salt will prevent the omelet form sticking to your pan.

Once the omelet has formed completely, cover the pan and let it set for a few minutes. Flip the omelet upside down or with a spatula. Cook the second side for a minute or so. Serve the omelet immediately by removing it from the pan.

This recipe is best when used with whole milk. But, you can use skimmed milk as well.
