(HealthDay News) -- When you need a quick bite and a fast food drive-through is the nearest culinary offering, you may not have to settle for junk food.

The Womenshealth.gov website offers these suggestions for healthier fast food dining:

• Order a small burger.
• Skip the cheese and bacon on your burger or sandwich.
• Order a grilled chicken sandwich.
• Opt for a grilled chicken salad or garden salad, and top it with low-fat dressing.
• Drink low-fat milk or water, instead of soda.
