3 Rules to Keep Fast Food in Your Deficit
- Ditch Liquid Calories: Always choose Water, Coke Zero, or unsweetened Iced Tea. A large standard soda adds 290 empty liquid calories.
- Watch the Fry Trap: A large fry contains 480 kcal of low-satiety refined starches. Swap for apple slices or skip the side.
- Log with AI Photo Scanner: Snap a quick photo of your takeout box in the Calorie Tracker iOS App for instant, verified nutrition tracking.
