1. Describe the healthy meal that you have created from the fast-food restaurant using the nutritional value of menu items.
A. I chose the fast food restaurant McDonald’s. I have ordered a vegetarian premium wrap, a side salad, and a medium orange juice.
Premium Bacon
Ranch Salad
(Without chicken)- 140 Calories, 7g of total fat, 300mg of sodium, 10g of Carbohydrates, 9g of protein, and 160 vitamins A.
Side Salad- 20 Calories, Sodium 10mg, Carbohydrates 4g, protein 1g, and 45 vitamin A
Orange Juice- 190 Calories, 44g of Carbohydrates, 39g of Sugar, 3g of protein, and 160 Vitamin A0
B. I thought that this food choice was absolutely impressive to me because many people say that McDonalds is very unhealthy for an individual.

All together this meal would have well over 30g of protein and with chicken it would be about 50g of protein. Definitely will order this in the
