This dietitian transforms your fast food meal into a healthier one
As we grow up, we get busier and busier each day. Hence, we are often depending on meals that are easier to cook or order, and that’s where fast food and delivery meals happen. Don’t get me wrong, fast foods are great! Not everyone has the chance to cook and prepare a full, healthy meal thrice a day, and that is totally okay. Fast food can save you a lot of time and money, too!

Although they are convenient, eating them in a week is not healthy as it looks. They are often packed with tons of oil and preservatives added to it. Meet Jo Sebastian, a dietitian and a content creator on TikTok who shares how she transforms fast food into a healthier option. What I love about her is she uses her platform to educate everyone that buying fast food is not bad, you just need to find balance in it!
Adding nutrients and balancing your meals
In this clip, Jo shares how she eats 24/7 chicken in a healthy way. She breaks down the food according to its nutrients. Chicken provides protein and fat, and rice is a carb source. Lastly, she added a dash of fiber from carrots and lettuce! She also adds some cubes of mangoes, elevating the dish into a healthier option!
Mcdonalds’ is one of the most accessible fast food options here in the Philippines. They even have 24-hour stores, too! She ordered the usual fries, nuggets, and a chicken sandwich. Jo also added bell peppers and apples for extra crunch and fiber. As simple as that, your go-to snack has just become a meal with balanced nutrients.
It’s now time that we should stop thinking of fast food as a “bad” meal. All we need to do is to add extra nutrients to it! Just like Jo always says, you always deserve to eat!
