- Skip the bun or wrap
- Skip the pasta, potato or rice.
- Salads – without croutons. Stick with the low-sugar dressing options: Caesar, blue cheese, ranch, chipotle. Look at the name which may give you a clue, things like “honey” in the honey dijon or “sweet” in the name of the dressing; they are generally not a good choice. Check the ingredient for items that have a higher carbohydrate content.
- Chicken – Choose grilled or sautéed. Stay away from any chicken that is breaded.

Small, flimsy plastic fast food containers also make it difficult to eat. Get out your own sturdy utensils and enjoy!
