What do you do if forget to do your research? The first choice is to inform the staff your specific diet requirements (emphasize that your doctor has put you on a special diet this should get you special treatment) and ask what menu items satisfy your requirements. Your second choice is review the menu while you're waiting in line and with the basic healthy eating tenants in mind make your best guess.

Let's say you made your best guess and when you get back to the office or home and check the nutritional and caloric values on the fast food restaurants website you discover that what you just had for lunch was loaded with calories, saturated fat and cholesterol. Ouch! All is not lost, just adjust what you eat for the remainder of the day so you don't go over your daily caloric limit and burn the experience into your memory so you don't make the same mistake the next time.

Another strategy, especially if you are eating with family or friends, is to bring your own healthy lunch. Most fast food restaurants will not make a fuss if your lunch companions are ordering from their menu. This will generally be more difficult ...
... to pull off if you are eating alone but can be done if you select a couple of healthy menu items to compliment what you brought from home.

My final recommendation is to select a couple of healthy sides and don't select a burger or sandwich. For example, if you find yourself at Wendy's you can get a side salad and a baked potato. Just be sure not to load up the potato with cheese, bacon or chili and choose a fat free or low fat salad dressing for your side salad.
You can now walk into a fast food restaurant and have a plan in place that won't bust your healthy eating or diet plan. With all this in mind you don't want to eat at fast food restaurants on a regular basis unless based on your research into the nutritional and caloric value you can stick with your diet.
