Easy Ideas for Monitoring Calories and Fat

If you have diabetes, you're probably watching the amount of calories and fat in your diet. The easy ideas below will help you stay within your meal plan when you eat at McDonald's. Try some of these tips:

• Hold the sauce on your sandwich.
  
  
• Order your hamburger without processed cheese.
  
  
• Top your Entrée Salad with grilled chicken rather than crispy chicken, or try an Entrée Salad without chicken.
  
  
• Choose Renée's™ Ravin’ Raspberry Vinaigrette or Renée's™ Balsamic Vinaigrette with your Entrée Salad, or use only 1/2 packet of any dressing to reduce your calories.
  
  
• Instead of French fries, try a Garden Fresh Side Salad topped with 1/2 packet of Renée's™ Asian Sesame Vinaigrette or Ravin’ Raspberry Vinaigrette.
  
  
• Order a Fruit ’n Yogurt Parfait instead of a sundae.
  
  
• Enjoy a bag of Apple Slices as a snack.
  
  
• Order Dasani^® bottled water or a diet soft drink instead of a regular soft drink.

*One carbohydrate choice equals 15 grams of carbohydrate – a carbohydrate choice may count as a starch, fruit, or milk in your meal plan
