Fast Food Fix: Dunkin Donuts
Aug 6th
This Fast Food Fix is one that I think many people, including myself, will relate to. Probably 3 times a week I hit my local Dunkin Donuts drive thru for a large coffee with a shot of espresso. Yep, The Angry Trainer needs his caffeine fix just like the rest of you!

Here we go with another Fast Food Fix, where I review a popular fast food chain and suggest 3 healthy choices, and what dishes to steer clear of based on their nutritional value, or lack thereof.
Todays post is an eatery I’ve never been to – Chick-Fil-A, the popular fried chicken pit stop. That may be because there’s only one location in NY, but there are 253 in Texas! I guess everything is bigger in Texas!
But while I can’t comment on taste I can rate the chain’s nutritional values.
