Check out different fast-food companies' Web sites for nutrition information before you have to make the decision so that at least you're informed about what's going in your body. If there's no time even for that, then look for a few choice words that can tip you off to the fattiest, most calorie-laden meals. Go sauce-free when you order to avoid extra calories, and steer clear of high-fat meats like sausage, bacon and steak. If you have the option of an English muffin or a biscuit with your breakfast sandwich, go for the English muffin. The same goes for choosing toast over a bagel.
