As a child I always asked my parents if we could go to a fast food restaurant, the Quick or the MC Donalds.Now when I’m older I still go to fast food restaurants but deep down in my heart I know it’s not healthy and especially not when it comes to losing weight.
But fastfood has become a way for some people, in fact I do not know a country or big city where they have no Mc Donalds restaurant.

Here’s a chicken burger that you can make at home. Not only it has a nice taste, but it’s also very healthy (it has lots of veggies) and it’s only 3 points!
