BURGER QUEEN!

So maybe you are one of those moms that never lets her kids eat fast food. I admire you. I'll admit it, I am not one of those moms. This post is for those of us who start the day off saying, "no BK today" and then end up at the drive-thru after preschool pickup. Remember, you can still make some healthy choices for your kids . . . even from your car.

Is BK Getting Healthy?

Imagine a fast-food world where fries are made of apples, chicken tenders are free of grease, and a kids meal clocks in at 305 calories. Burger King has added lots of healthy kid-friendly stuff to their menu. Including Flame-Broiled Chicken Tenders totaling 145 calories and 6g fat per 4-piece serving. BK Fresh Apple Fries, a 35-calorie serving of apples cut to look like fries. Calorie-Friendly Kids Meals - flame-broiled tenders, organic unsweetened applesauce, and low-fat milk -- all totaling just 305 calories and 8.5 grams of fat. Thanks, BK!!!

So remember, we do the best we can. I know that my kids understand why exercise is so important, and for us it is a part of our daily routine. My daughter has been exercising with me at class since she was 5 months old. I know we still need to work on the fries, but hey it's a start. So don't let the mom at the park giving you "that" look as you unload your Mcdees bag ruin your day. She's only judging you because it makes her feel better about herself. Be happy, exercise, and try the apple fries!
