Healthy Fast Food Guide | Boston Market | Detailed
Overview
A surprisingly good option for fast food as long as we avoid some of the higher fat and sodium-filled meat options. We must also be vigilant of the sides that can be very high in fat and cholesterol (e.g. Mashed Potatoes with Gravy).
Recommendations
Choose one of the following protein options based on your preference:
Turkey Breast
One of the leanest protein sources. My preference would be for white meat instead of dark meat because although there are more vitamins and minerals in dark, there’s also more fat.
Skinless Rotisserie Chicken — Quarter White
Their rotisserie chicken’s cholesterol is high so not as ideal as the turkey breast, but still a decent option with more protein than the turkey breast.
Sides
Choose two of the following sides:
Green Beans
Green beans are anti-inflammatory, facilitate digestion and control diabetes by maintaining blood sugar levels.
Sweet Corn
Corn assists in digestion and promotes nerve health, as well as improves cognitive function.
Garlic Dill New Potatoes
Potatoes are anti-inflammatory, improves blood pressure and strengthens bone health.
Fresh Steamed Vegetables
Includes the following vegetables:
- Broccoli — fights cancer, improves bone health, improved digestion, and detoxification
- Carrots — regulates blood cholesterol, improves eye health, and lowers blood pressure
- Zucchini Squash — improves digestion, manages diabetes, and lowers blood sugar levels
