Added toppings usually mean more sodium or unhealthy fats. To lighten
up your meal without taking away flavor: Don't overdo the salad dressing. Choose oil-based dressings such as Italian or balsamic vinaigrette instead of creamy salad dressings such as blue cheese and ranch which are high in saturated fat. Use mustard or ketchup instead of mayonnaise. When ordering pizza, add veggies instead of meat, and get thin crust instead of deep dish. Top your sandwiches with veggies such as onions, lettuce, and tomatoes instead of bacon or extra cheese. Don't add more salt to your meal. Salt is a major contributor to high blood pressure and heart disease and fast food tends to be loaded with it.

the toppings.
