Replace Fries with a Side Salad


Diamond Feedback Medal for All Time! 1,394 Feedbacks

Since our budget is chronically tight, even fast food is somewhat of a luxury. I discovered something this week when ordering at our local Burger King. I already liked BK better than many other fast-food places because their burgers are broiled, not fried.

After this last visit, I also know I can replace those calorie-ridden French fries with a healthier side salad. It tasted better, too. The salad was fresh and crisp; just what I'd been craving! Next time maybe I'll go even healthier by requesting the Lite Italian dressing instead of Ranch.

Congrats on your first Solutions submission and your excellent advice, JPJ! There are a lot of restuarants that will replace an item with another choice if we just ask but we don't think to do it or are afraid to ask. Thumbs up!

May I suggest that if you really want that ranch dressing over the light Italian why deprive yourself? Ask for it on the side and just barely dip each salad bite in it. I started doing that not for reduced calories but because my salad always seemed to be drowning in dressing when all I really wanted was a bit of flavoring. ;-)
