Healthy Meal:

The fast food restaurant that I have selected to discuss is McDonalds. The healthy meal I chose to discuss is the Premium Grilled Chicken Classic Sandwich meal with a side salad and a small diet coke. The total nutritional analysis for this meal is as follows: Calories 370, Fat 9, Carbs 46, Protein 29, and 820 for Sodium.

I think this meal is good because it is low in all areas within the daily nutrition intake that we should be consuming each day and this helps in achieving the daily goal of staying within the range of the recommended daily nutrition intake. For example, the total calories for this meal are 370 but my recommended intake is 2400. I was surprised on how nutritional some of the items at McDonalds are. I logged into their internet site and was amazed. I had a perception that everything was bad and minimally healthy due to it being so convenient.

After doing my research on healthy meals I will definitely consider McDonalds as a choice when selecting a meal that I have to eat when I am short on time.
