I think it's time for a different place to eat and I've chosen one of the most common fast food restaurants in the area: McDonald's. Like many restaurants, the options aren't super low sodium, but Joe manages to work them into his diet in no time. I've put a few breakfast options here, some lunch choices, and a few desserts.
Fruit 'N Yoghurt Perfect, as low as 35 mg sodium (75 mg if ordered without mods). If you skip the granola, this parfait has only 35 mg of sodium. Do you want granola? I don't blame you. Let it sit and it's still only 75 mg. Not bad for a snack or a quick breakfast.
Not a McMuffin, as low as 330 mg sodium. As I'm sure you've guessed, you'll have to skip the super salty American cheese and the sodium-laden ham. Sigh. It's a bit sad, I know. But try this without the cheese and ham, and it only contains 330 mg of sodium in the entire sandwich. Add an additional round egg for another 70 mg (total 400 mg sodium). It's a bit on the high side, but if you miss fast food, this will definitely satisfy your cravings without disrupting your diet.
Hamburger, as low as 350 mg sodium. Order a burger without the salty toppings (ketchup, pickles and mustard) and that's only 350 mg of sodium in the sandwich.
McDouble, as low as 480 mg sodium. If you have a little more wiggle room in your diet, you can order a McDouble (again, without ketchup, pickles, or mustard). The sandwich comes in at 480, but like the McMuffin, it goes a long way in satisfying fast food cravings.
Small fries160 mg sodium. As ordered, the small fries come with 160 mg of sodium. If that's a bit high for you, try ordering the children's size, which is only 80 mg.
Vanilla cone80 mg sodium. The vanilla soft ice cream cone is a really good sweet treat and contains only 80 mg.
Strawberry sundae95 mg sodium. If ice cream with strawberries on top is more your speed, order this sundae, which contains just under 100 mg of sodium per serving. part.
There you have it. For complete nutritional information, visitMcDonald's nutrition calculator.
