Fun "gross" Fact: Burger King has the fattiest mayo out of all fast food chains.. barf.

Familiarize yourself with these ideas and make them second nature. You will cut out hundreds of calories without sacrificing any flavor.

No mayo, ask for mustard or fat free mayo instead.
No cheese (this is hard, but you won't even miss it!)
Wheat bread
Skip the fries, ask for steamed veggies or a salad.
Salads, ask for the dressing on the side.
Baked potatoes, ask for everything on the side.
KNOW how your food is prepared, don't be afraid to ask questions.
No butter
Sandwiches and salads, ask for extra veggies.
Specify "grilled" whether it's chicken, shrimp, steak, etc.
Anything that sounds fattening, probably is.
Refrain from choosing: sautéed, creamy, au gratin, deep fried, crunchy/crispy, etc.
Go for: grilled, baked, poached, steamed, etc.
