Drive-Thru Done Right!

We all know that preparing our own food is always the best way to eat healthy, but lets face it that's not always the option that is most convenient. The CDC estimates that approximately 15% of calories consumed from people in their twenty and thirties comes from fast food.

To help keep fast food from derailing your diet, I have brought you a list of Fit Meals to Grab on the Go courtesy of Fitness Magazine. These are great options, most of these picks are about 480 calories or less. Eat up, guilt free :)
