Hello,
I have a question regarding eating healthy "junk" food. I am a 26 year
old male, not overweight, a little on the thin side. I excercise on an
(ir)regular basis, jog now and then, as well as some light weight
lifting.
During the week day when working I tend to eat out a lot for lunch.
The only places close by happen to be wendys and burger king. I always
have the chicken sandwichs with a salad and/or baked potatoe. No mayo
or condiments, no sodas. According to the nutritional information on
the wendys website, A chicken grill sandwich with no sauces or
condiments has the following breakup:
Total Calories: 330
Calories from fat: 45
Total fat: 5.0g
Saturated fat: 1.0g
Cholesterol: 70mg
Carbs: 41g
Sugar: 8g
Protein: 31g
Is something like this healthy enough to eat 5 times a week? I am not
trying to lose or gain weight just eat healthy (although I have
started to develop some weight around my middle which would be nice to
lose before it gets too far :P )
Thanks for your comments.

Cut back on the high GI foods like backed potato and bread or
anything with refined flower and sugar. Those things are probably
what is giving you the spare tire. To really eat healthy you basicly
stick with real whole foods and eliminate refined/processed foods.
Refined flower, sugar, vegetable oils hydrogenated or otherwise, are
not real foods and have only been around for about 100 years and where
created to accomidate industry marketability and profitability without
any regards to the affect on health. Sugar has been around a bit
longer in the human diet of course but nowhere near the amount it is
today. Easyest way to do it is not eat any foods that have not existed
for at least a couple hundred years and aim for foods that have been
in the human diet for thousands of years.

Sounds a bit old. What about food which existed for one week - in the
refrigerator, of course?
I wouldn´t expect this to have a good taste, though, but better than
hundred years (or more) old.
Best,
