But if you’re going to add the creamy dressing and croutons, you would have been better off with the quarter pounder! • Size Matters!: The fast food calories from super-sizing alone could take you a few miles of running to burn off! • Slow Down: Eating fast food slow may seem like an oxymoron, but it gives your stomach time to register with the brain that its full.
