Certainly, I would never recommend resorting to eating only fast food throughout a whole day. But, what about those very busy days when the fast food line is the only way you can eat? What about traveling? Road trips, lay overs in the airport, etc.? It is very possible to make healthy choices when your options seem to be only salty, high calorie and high saturated fat foods? Here is a list of foods that meet the current USDA myplate standards for a "healthy" days worth of food... and all of this food comes from none other than Wendy's fast food restaurant.
