The post Why Fast Food Should Be Enjoyed in Moderation appeared first on foodisinthehouse.com.
]]>High-Calorie Content
First off, fast food is high in calories, and it often exceeds the recommended amount that people are supposed to eat on a daily basis. When you eat too many calories each day consistently, you may gain weight.
High-Fat Content
Most fast food is also very rich in unhealthy fats, such as trans fats and saturated fats. When you eat many of these unhealthy fats daily, your cholesterol levels get higher. This can put you at risk for health problems, such as getting a stroke or heart disease.
𝕳𝖊𝖋𝖋'𝖘 𝔹𝕦𝕣𝕘𝕖𝕣 ℂ𝕝𝕦𝕓 High in Sugar and Salt
Most fast food items contain high levels of sugar and salt. Overconsumption of these can lead to kidney disease, high blood pressure, and even diabetes.

]]>Explore the Menu
If your kids have already chosen a fast-food restaurant that they want to visit by your side, consider reviewing their menu online. By doing so, you’ll discover if they have any healthier options in store, ranging from salads to grilled chicken sandwiches.
Portion Control
One of the best ways to keep your food consumption on a healthier side, no matter how old you are, is to keep portions on a smaller side – especially at fast food restaurants.
Customization Allowed
Customization is allowed at most fast-food establishments, and you can take advantage of this perk to reduce the amount of unhealthy ingredients in your kids’ orders.
Living for the Progress (@_lifewithlyds_)Veggie Boost
Even when eating at fast food restaurants, it’s possible to up the fiber and vitamin content of your order by eating a salad or using veggies as toppings or sides in other meals.
Beverage Choices
A drink will most likely be a part of your kids’ orders at fast food restaurants, so try to encourage them to ditch sugary sodas and milkshakes for healthier alternatives, such as water or unsweetened juice.

]]>Smaller Portions
Portion control is everything when you’re trying to embrace healthy eating habits. The best way to avoid overeating is to forget all about super-sized meals and go for smaller portions.
Read the Descriptions
Pay closer attention when reading item descriptions whenever they’re provided. Deep-fried, pan-fried, batter-dipped, breaded, crispy, and scalloped dishes are usually best avoided due to their high fat and sodium content.
Grilled Over Fried
If you notice any grilled items on the menu, consider ordering them instead of fried options because they’re lower in saturated fats, sodium, and calories.
Drink Choice
Avoid sugary, super-sized beverages when eating at fast-food restaurants, and consider going for water or unsweetened tea and coffee.
Veggie Bonanza
Even the unhealthiest fast food restaurants usually have some salads and veggies on the menu. They’re the best possible choice at these establishments, but it’s a good idea to hold the sauce or dressing or serve it on the side to keep your salad on the healthy side.

]]>The post 5 Things to Think About Before Eating Vegan Food at Fast Food Restaurants appeared first on foodisinthehouse.com.
]]>Animal Cruelty
If you went vegan due to animal cruelty associated with other types of diets, keep in mind that fast food chains participate in all sorts of animal exploitation, even if they offer some vegan options.
Cross-Contamination
Cross-contamination is also a pretty common problem that might occur when you’re eating vegan fast food since these types of restaurants usually handle both vegan and non-vegan ingredients in the same kitchen.
Not That Healthy
If you want your plant-based food to be healthy, fast food chains are best avoided since. Most foods sold here are typically high in calories, unhealthy fats, and sodium – even vegan ones.
Taste & Freshness
Vegan fast food usually won’t be as tasty and fresh as the food at authentic vegan places since all the ingredients are usually prepped beforehand.
Good Message
Despite all the problems concerning vegan fast food, you’re still sending a good message to big chains by buying them. The bigger demand it is, the more likely it is they’ll embrace better practices in the future.

]]>Monty’s Loves Elton Meal
Whether you’re a die-hard Elton fan or just in the mood to indulge, you’re sure to love this fun upgrade on a classic burger and fries. The meal includes a single vegan cheeseburger and a 50/50 mix of fries and tater tots served with a “Baby Blue Ranch” dipping sauce. Wash it down with some “Tiny Dancer” pink lemonade before enjoying the “Rainbow Rock” sugar cookie for dessert.
Glitter Glasses Shake
For an extra-sweet treat, the Elton-inspired Glitter Glasses Shake pairs perfectly with a meal but is also worth ordering by itself. Oatly vanilla soft-serve ice cream is blended with English toffee-flavored syrup and topped with whipped cream and a dusting of edible glitter.

“We know that consumers are looking for diverse protein options that are better for the planet without compromising on taste, so we’re incredibly excited to launch our brand-new, innovative Beyond Carne Asada Steak,” said Beyond Meat’s chief innovation officer, Dariush Ajami. “Designed to specifically complement the bold, savory flavors that Taco Bell is known for, Beyond Carne Asada Steak delivers the flavorful, delicious taste and texture of marinated, grilled steak with the added benefits of plant-based meat.“
Made from vital wheat gluten and faba bean protein, the Beyond Carne Asada Steak can be swapped for any regular steak item on the menu. It will be available in select Dayton, Ohio branches from October 13.

]]>The previous example is usually seen at big fast-food chains. These establishments have to churn out a significant number of items quickly, which leads to various missteps and sometimes below satisfactory eating experiences. Singapore-based foodie Ben Chia found himself in such situations too many times to count, but that didn’t discourage him from visiting fast foods. Instead, it inspired him to create an insanely popular Instagram account McSegent on which he started documenting the mishaps of the fast-food industry.
The account started gaining followers quickly, with people worldwide contributing their own examples of funny food items that the fast-food chains actually served to their customers. This included hits like American cheese on pancakes instead of breakfast sandwiches, upside-down Big Macs, and sandwiches missing one of the buns.
“That is something we are quite proud of,” said Chia. “I’m glad that this is something that people appreciate. And, you know, sometimes it helps us relax a little bit to not take things too seriously.”

]]>La Banquise
This is perhaps Montreal’s best-known poutinerie. While it is often considered quite mainstream and expensive, it still remains a great place to become acquainted with the Quebecois dish. It has extensive options for creating your own poutine: if you can imagine it, they will make it. Oh, and there’s often a long queue to get in.
Chez Claudette
Whereas La Banquise is often busy with tourists, a popular establishment among the locals in Chez Claudette. After a night out in the town, it’s often less crowded, cheaper, and stays open just as late as La Banquise.
Lola Rosa
This is a vegetarian poutinerie that people can’t get enough of. The gravy is plant-based and if you want to make it vegan, just ask for no cheese.
Gibeau Orange Julep
This is perhaps the most iconic place to eat poutine in Montreal, and one of the biggest fan favorite places. The food is served to you in a large orange ball, which is always a fun experience.
(@pennyroumel)Smoke Meat Pete
Here you can enjoy many different kinds of poutine dishes. Ranging from Italian, classic, or smoked meat, you’ll always find something to tickle your taste buds.

]]>McDonald’s
The most famous french fries in the country, and possibly in the world, belong to McDonald’s. Fried in vegetable oil and laced with “natural beef flavoring”, you’ll notice a slightly meaty touch with these salty beauties.
yambao (@apinkchuck)Arby’s
Arby’s is famous for its curly fries, which are cut in a unique, spiral curl manner. Also seasoned with a unique blend of spices including garlic powder and onion powder, they are especially delicious when dipped in the chain’s namesake sauce.
Chick-Fil-A
The king of Southern fast food is Chick-Fil-A and their french fries are a big reason why. Fried in a “waffle” shape in peanut oil, they are especially good for dipping since they’re able to hold onto such a big amount of sauce at once.

#TraegerGameDay #NationalCheeseburgerDay“I fell in love with food and cooking for people,” recalled Prescott in an interview with [EDIT] Magazine. “It was that idea of ‘the collision of food and community at the table.’ A friend said, ‘Have you heard of this new social media app called Instagram? You should try it!’ I think my first post was a selfie, but on my phone I started documenting the process of cooking and taking photographs of the dishes, because I genuinely wanted to remember what I had cooked the day before. There was no decision on my part to say, ‘Hey, I am going to be a food guy.’ It just worked out that the content I posted was what I was passionate about.”
Now, a viral-phenomenon-turned-celebrity-chef, Prescott is one of the stars of the Netflix series Restaurants On The Edge, and is known for his down-to-earth approach to cooking. He’s also a successful cookbook author, and his most recent book Eat Delicious is in stores now.
“I have always been one hundred percent,” says Prescott. “It goes even beyond passionate. It’s whatever the positive word is for being obsessive. If you are not going to shoot for the best and fully immerse yourself in what you are doing and strive to be your best version of your creative self, you will never be fully satisfied. Even if you are able to make a living, you won’t be creatively satisfied. It is because you are not embracing your desire to strive for excellence and get better at something every day.”
