As teens grow more independent, they need to make healthier food choices without depending on advice from mom and dad ... even at a fast-food restaurant.
The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests:
1. Instead of a fried chicken sandwich, opt for a chicken fajita.
2. Instead of a super-sized burger with high-fat toppings, opt for a lean burger.
3. In lieu of fries, select a baked potato.
4. Instead of ice cream, choose nonfat frozen yogurt topped with fruit.
5. Order a salad and choose low-fat dressing.
6. Ask for water, skipping a milkshake or soda.
