The high cost of airline tickets are pricing many of us out of exotic vacations; so many of us are taking small road trips close to home.

What are you eating on those trips? Take this quiz to see if you are succumbing to fast food mayhem at Mickey D's, BK lounge or the Bell.

Fast Food Mayhem: Baskin Robbins Frozen Treat Edition

You all enjoyed my first frozen treat quiz that I thought it would be fun to take it a little further. One of my guilty Summer pleasures is a Baskin Robbins shake. ~~Foolishly~~ Wisely I glanced at the nutritional information for the shakes and will probably be opting for a small cone from here on out. You'll be shocked to see the nutritional information in some of BR's tastiest treats.

Road tripping season is upon us. The road conditions are much improved and Spring fever drives us to spend time out and about wandering around. When it comes to food, you can't always pack your own, so when it comes to fast food you can pick the lesser evil. Here are a few questions comparing Arby's, McDonald's and Wendy's. So where are you going to eat?

So I've broken down a lot of your favorite fast food spots, leaving you wondering if there is anything you can even eat out there. I understand the occasional fast food stop is unavoidable and you can do it in a healthy way, you just have to follow a few guidelines:

Don't super size. Most people eat way more than anyone ever should at a fast food restaurant because they can. Don't do it! Order small sizes.
Opt for places that offer "made to order" food. Like Subway for example, this way you can easily create a low calorie meal.

There's lots more, so read more

Stay away from all things fried. Fried foods are a diet killer. They are extremely high in calories and, for now at least, trans fats.
Salads are your friend. Almost every fast food joint offers a salad. Try getting a side salad instead of a side of fries. Watch out for croutons (or crispy noodles) and skip the dressing altogether (unless you have your own non-fat dressing on hand).
Fountain sodas are not your friend. Instead of soda you can get water, bottled water, iced tea... anything other than soda.
Hold the cheese and sour cream. They are loaded with calories and fat, not to mention trans fats. And we can only guess what goes into those cheese "like" sauces.
Get something other than a burger - a deli sandwich or a chicken sandwich (not fried). Just try to steer clear of the burgers.
Condiments pack a lot of calories. When ordering something, ask what is on it. Usually there is some mayo-concoction that is called "crazy sauce" or something similar that you may want to go without.
