Fast-Food Chain:
McDonald’s

If You Usually Order:
Six-piece Chicken McNuggets (with a side of ranch sauce) and large French fries.

Make It Healthier:
Ask for medium fries and replace the ranch sauce with barbecue and you’ve knocked 345 calories off your meal.

Better Yet:
Get the California Cobb Salad with grilled chicken. Just beware of what you put on the salad: The Cobb dressing adds 120 calories and 9 grams of fat. Opt for the low-fat balsamic vinaigrette.
