You've seen it everywhere: the fast food industry is taking steps to create healthier fast-food options. As our nation tries to deal with the crisis of obesity, the fast-food industry is introducing lower-fat fares to give us a new and improved fast-food combo.

To help you make healthier choices when dining out, we have compiled the nutritional information of various fast foods from some of your favorite chains. But remember, it's all about choice.
