When selecting foods from vending machines, try to choose baked products instead of fried, or diet sodas and 100% fruit juices. Even better, bring fruits and vegetables to snack on instead of relying on the vending machine. Consider this: a double Whopper with cheese, large fry and large coke at Burger King totals almost 2,100 calories and 100 grams of fat. That’s all your calories and more than your share of fat for the day in just one meal! Conversely, a home packed turkey sandwich on wheat bread with baked potato chips and a diet soda totals about 500 calories and about six grams of fat.
