    Oh, the time factor is I have an hour at lunchtime that is dedicated only to lunch, but my mornings and evenings are much busier with lots of things going on. A bunch of restaurants within a 5-minute drive. (Really, I should work on getting up an hour earlier .... ;) )


    hey man, there is a problem for every solution if you want.

    So yeah, thanks, I get that there's a problem for every solution. So, I had asked specifically this:

    "So, any thoughts about eating sensibly at fast food joints? Subway excepted, what other fast food salads are there worth trying?"

    Cheers.

    If the fast food restaurants are only a 5 minute drive away, why not walk there and then get something with slightly more calories that actually tastes good/fills you up?

    Maybe 3 miles no sidewalks at 40mph ... What's that at walking speed? 40 minutes one way?

    I sort of had an idea of exercise as a different thread for weight loss. And, I didn't really want to confuse my goals with exercise with food all in one thread. So, I was asking about food. Good thoughts though. Some walking is better than none.

    Cheers,

    Sean

    So asking again... why salads? You can find some 550 calories meals at some restaurants that are more filling than salads. Also, you still haven't mentioned what kind of restaurants are in your area, so it's impossible to give a good answer.

    But to answer your question, in the exception of Panera, I find fast food salads disgusting.

    Thanks! My bad. I thought asking "So, any thoughts about eating sensibly at fast food joints? Subway excepted, what other fast food salads are there worth trying?" didn't require knowing what restaurants are in my area. Will be more careful next time. Cheers.

    Well. Maybe someone will have the time and patience to look up every single restaurant chain and see what low calorie options they have for you then. I certainly don't. Sorry I can't help.

    Arby's has a good salad. It's called the Farmhouse Salad. It's pretty big, but I can't remember how many calories.

    That wasn't what I asked, but thanks for considering it. Cheers.

    So... go to the restaurants in your area and try the different salads there. Your own personal preferences are your own. No one can tell you what salads you'll like, can they?
