RECRUITING STATION OKLAHOMA CITY - Burgers, like this third-pounder bacon and cheese should not be the first round pick for a recruiter in the fight to stay healthy. These meal options have a large portion of protein and carbohydrates, which may sound great for a hard work out, but the total fat, sodium and calories put it way over the line for people looking for a sensible dietary option. This particular burger has a whopping 790 calories, 350 of which are from fat, a scale tipping 39 grams of fat; from which 17 are saturated and two are Trans fat and 2070 milligrams of sodium. Add a small fry and you are set for the rest of the day, as long as you skip dinner.

RECRUITING STATION OKLAHOMA CITY - A sandwich like this one would only run a recruiter 320 calories, 4.5 grams of fat, 49 carbohydrates and 23 grams of protein. There are several restaurants that offer meal choices like this one that are just as fast and convenient as a burger joint. The balance of nutrition in these types of meal items provided the eater with enough energy to sustain vigorous activity while not overdoing it in the areas of excessive fats and simple sugars which can lead to unhealthy weight gain.
