Cutting Back on Fast Food/Change #7

People are in such a hurry these days. We keep schedules that have us stressed and constantly going. Because of us trying to do so much in one day many people stop by a fast food restaurant and grab something to eat instead of cooking at home. We should be eating around 2,000 calories per day, and consuming around 56 grams of fat and 2,400 mil. of sodium. When eating fast food it is very easy to exceed the recommended daily intake amounts.
