    Don't worry about calories and just have a cheat meal. All I can think about is Popeyes chicken and mash. Yummmmmm! And Carl's junior western bacon burger. Salivating now.

    Just depends what you consider healthy and what you're trying to achieve.

    If healthy = "can provide a calorie deficit", then everything is healthy. Just track the food and pay attention.

    If you have other objectives (e.g. sodium, local, organic, no hormones, etc), then you can get stuck in a hurry with the multinationals, but you may have local fast food restaurants that provide a range of specialized options.

    When I know where i'm going I usually go on line and look up the nutrition charts for that restaurant or fast food joint. Then I know what I can or cannot have based on calories left for the day and can see what has the most and least clories. It can really be surprising and is a great eye opener.Other times I just throw caution to the wind and order a large fry anyway!! :bigsmile:

    Speaking of Chick-Fil-A ... they have the Grilled Market Salad. It is only 180 calories with granola and nuts and fruit and cheese, and the dressing is 100 cals! Taco Bell can be done fairly low cal too... chicken instead of beef. No cheese or sour cream. Subway- grilled chicken or turkey sub (leave off the cheese for even lower calories.) Wendy's chili is under 400 calories. Any place with a grilled chicken sandwich and a wheat bun. OHH and Moe's- you can get grilled chicken and black beans and TONS of fresh ingredients all in a bowl. Add a few of their chips for a crunch. I sometimes pop in to Earth Fare for a salad bar. It is full of fresh fruit and veggies. They even have fresh hot grilled salmon at the end of the bar.
