    I tend not to eat much fast food anymore. I get that you can still have it and still lose weight as long as you use common sense and moderation, but if I eat any of it, I spend about two weeks craving it . If I stay away from it, I don't really have any interest in it.

    That being said, I will sometimes have a subway sandwich. I like the tuna, but I ask for only half the tuna they usually use, and pile on a lot of veggies. I have Jimmy Johns once in a great while. There are a few sandwiches I can get on their menu. Their website menu is awesome at finding out the calories for you. I've also had Arby's turkey swiss wrap, but no french fries or any thing else. French fries are problematic for me.

    Subway and Panera are two of my favorites for fast food, but I don't rule anything out. I just either check the menu or online for nutritional information and make sure I stay within my goals for the day. This usually means not getting the larger items (depending on what I've had before and/or am planning for after), but it's not a solid rule. One thing I haven't gotten a lot lately when I go to fast food restaurants are fries - for me, I would rather have a larger sandwich/salad than potatoes.

    My go to is WhataBurger Chicken sandwich-plain and dry. I remove the bread and eat the chicken only with apple slices and a large unsweet ice tea!

    I do not usually do salads fast food. I am picky about my lettuce (I dislike iceburg lettuce), and I do not like shredded cheese added to my salad. I also found that they can be skimpy with the chicken added.

    Have you tried the Jimmy Johns Unwich? Substituting the bread for lettuce will greatly reduce the calories-carbs-etc...
