Healthy fast food

Could be wrong with all things but I know that when growing organic apples they are sprayed with heavy metals rather than the traditional chemical pesticides etc. This means that they have roughly the same overall nutritional value but could potentially be worse for you as they have raised levels of arsenic (for example).

[edit]In fact, does it even matter why the lycopene is there? Fact is, organic has more. .

But if it is content, then it is only there if the content is higher, not all organic products will be, but many our as they are marketed for that market.

Tru dat, I can never remember which ones which. Its the one which is literally just chicken pieces grilled, is it Shish?

Glaucus · 19 Apr 2010 at 13:05

yep

Make homade kebbabs and take them into work. Awesome when you get a bit board of other stuff, so easy and stuff the salad in there.

Why not donner? Yet it has reasonably high salt content, but it is pretty low fat.

chicken donner is usually pretty high fat I thought

There's a winner for marketing Just because it is 'made freshly' right in front of you doesn't mean the ingredients are fresh.

I know, that's why I said almost fresh. It still has more nutritional merit than most other stuff on the high street.

it's extremely high in fat, especially chicken one. The meat is layered up with fat on the spindle. Tastes great and keeps it succulent.

Chicken is naturally low in fat provided you don't eat the skin.

You never know what is in it

In fairness, leave doner meat until the morning and it is a congealed fatty mess.

Ah, I did wonder how they kept it from drying out!

YO! Sushi is pretty healthy

As someone rightly said you can release the lycopene through cooking. Like lutein, lycopene has no issues with cooking temps. Another way to release it just as effectively is to blend it, so you don't have to cook it if you don't want to.

No fast food will be particularly healthy, as most fast foods use cheap processed carbs which are really rather awful. That's if we're taking "true" fast food. Anything that keeps away from processed foods (basically carbs) will be fine. Jacket potato and beans is a good "fast food" - but clearly not if waiting for it to be prepared from scratch.

I keep away from any mass produced breads and processed and refined carbs as doing so you might as well just eat a KFC or McD's (makes me feel sick thinking about it).

Best fast food for me is popping into a shop/deli which has roasted chickens ready to eat - and buy one and nom away

But I am an ogre.

They're fairly rare (only seen in London and Bluewater), but Leon is fast and good.

Low glycemic carbs that are fresh and ideally organic are the best, doubt you'll find much of this in a fast food outlet.
