Fast food used to mean fried food, but today food franchises are offering people more low-fat alternative than ever before. Chef salads, grilled chicken sandwiches and frozen yogurt are just three examples.

Tips: Beware of topping burgers with cheese, creamy sauces and bacon - they add fat and calories. Pickles, onions, lettuce, tomato, mustard and catsup add flavor without the fat. Steer clear of fried fish sandwiches. A baked potato can be a healthy option, but have it with low-fat yogurt instead of butter and sour cream.
