So many calories and a ton of fat.. Now tell me about the foods with less calories and fat. I’ve been so busy in the past with the fatty foods that there might be alot of foods that are good for me, with out all the calories and fat, that I don’t know about or over looked, while reaching for that McDonalds burrito.

Take a look at the book – “Eat This, Not That.” It has a lot of info on fast food choices.
