BURGER KING NUTRITION CHART healthy fat food choices, fast food calories, grams of fat
I get many emails from triathletes who really hate to give up on their fast food. In most cases, it's because they have hectic schedules and it's easier to hit the corner Burger King if they are short on time. Usually they ask me what some of the best food choice might be "if" they do stop by a Burger King. Most of the fast food outlets in North America have become very aware that people are becoming far more health conscious and most have taken steps to offer some healthy choices to their patrons.
Of course there are still the old favorites that should be ordered on the very rare occasion only as they are heavily loaded down with calories. To make matters worse, a majority of those calories are fat calories. Here are some examples of food choices from the Burger King nutrition chart that might be chosen for those special occasions. MEDIUM FRENCH FRIES 480 calories and of the 160 grams, there are 23 grams of fat. WHOPPER Wow! 680 calories on the Burger King nutrition chart with 40 grams of fat. DOUBLE WHOPPER WITH CHEESE Well, if you pick one of these, then it should be your only meal of the day because you are looking at 980 calories and 64 grams of those are fat. Here are some far healthier choices if you are preparing for that Ironman in a few months time and want to avoid any more fat than necessary. GARDEN SALAD Yes I know, it's a salad and that's why it's a nutritional star on the Burger King Nutrition chart.
Only 90 calories in a 184g serving. Compare that with 980 calories in a double whopper with cheese. You could eat ten of these salads and still not reach the 980 calories of a double cheese whopper. TENDER-GRILL CHICKEN SANDWICH Of the 380 calories in this Burger King choice, there are only 9 grams of fat, so it's a far better choice than a whopper and still serves as a pretty reasonable lunch. All in all, it's a Kenyan running star who may have said it best. Of course the Kenyans are some of the best distance runners in the world and pay close attention to their training diet. For this particular Kenyan training out of the United States his words of wisdom were, "I treat myself to the American fast food once a month and I don't think that would hurt anyone. Sometimes you have to treat yourself but if it's something you have all the time, it's not a treat anymore".

FIRST IRONMAN? MY IRONSTRUCK BOOKS HAVE HELPED MANY REACH THE IRONMAN FINISH LINE.
I have written three books that all serve a specific purpose when it comes to those new to the sport of triathlon or those who perhaps have the Ironman on their mind.
"Ironstruck...The Ironman Triathlon Journey" is a perfect book for those who have the Ironman on their mind and perhaps need some motivation, inspiration, and encouragement to help them make that final decision to challenge the Ironman and make it to the finish line.
"Ironstruck? 500 Ironman Triathlon Questions and Answers" is most like the only Q+A book in the world on the subject of triathlon in general and the Ironman.
This is the perfect book for the triathlete who has decided to take on the Ironman for the first time, or perhaps has done one or two and would like some insight from a different point of view.
It is a great companion book for "Ironstruck...The Ironman Journey" and the pair of books would make a great gift.
