Summary
On today's episode as part of the Fit Girl Fall series, I am discussing 5 fast food orders I'd eat if I was out and about, needing food but still wanted to stay on track with my fitness goals.
If you're a busy woman that needs easy options that are quick, convenient and still pack protein and fiber when you're miles from your kitchen, stuck at an airport, or juggling a crazy day – these options are realistic suggestions that will save you when your schedule takes over your day.
Plus, I also am sharing with you exactly how I customize restaurant orders to support my goals alongside breaking down the mindset shifts I always recommend so you can stop feeling guilty when you "have to" eat out.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, my beautiful people, and welcome back to another episode of Hot Healthy, |
| 0:11.7 | Never Hungry during our Fit Girl Fall series. You know, I always have been very transparent. I love |
| 0:18.1 | fast food. And I don't love fast food for the reason you think. |
| 0:22.2 | I love a burger and fries. Like, I like actual fast food. When I think of fast food, I am going |
| 0:28.4 | to be talking about some places that have a little bit more healthified options. And certainly, |
| 0:32.6 | if I ate fast food every day, I wouldn't feel my best. So I love it sprinkled in. But like, I love my boring |
| 0:38.8 | basic meals at home, equally if not more than occasionally having a little French fry or |
| 0:44.0 | little chicken nugget out if you know what I mean. But at the end of the day, I also really value |
| 0:50.5 | feeling really great. So I'm all about giving you guys options and teaching you how to |
| 0:55.9 | fit in fun. But I also, as someone who is fit myself and I try to be very intentional with my food |

| 1:18.6 | Sometimes it's been my move across the country multiple times. I've gone back and forth and |
| 1:22.9 | up and down to from Massachusetts to Florida and then from Massachusetts to California and back and forth |
| 1:28.7 | and each different direction. And so whenever I've moved, even down the street, it's been a |
| 1:35.2 | difficult time sometimes and it's hard out here. And sometimes you've got to order some fast food |
| 1:39.4 | or order some takeout, even put it that way. But then there's also times where like you're so on the go, |
| 1:44.8 | whether it was times where I was nursing my daughter and my supply was taking and, you know, |
| 1:49.5 | I really want to eat at home. But, you know, honestly, the options are really sparse. So it's like, |
| 1:53.5 | you got to have something, right? I also think there were so many times where just when you're so |
| 1:58.8 | busy with work and running errands and doing things, |
| 2:03.1 | it's not like you didn't want to eat healthy, but sometimes food wasn't afterthought or you're |
