Fast Food Nutrition
Win by making healthier fast food choices!
Due to the lack of Calorie information readily available to use when making menu selections, it is not uncommon for consumers to purchase and consume more than 1000 Calories in a single fast food meal. Having this information present at the point of purchase could help consumers make healthier choices because many fast food restaurants have some healthy foods available (Turley, 2009).
