Your favorite "junk" food you wish was healthy?

I am pretty much obsessed with all Taco Bell (and I'm apparently the only person on the planet who doesn't get diarrhea from it). If I could eat it every day, I definitely would.
What are some fast food items or "junk" foods that you wish were healthier?

Healthy is a subjective term, what matters is your overall diet. There are no bad foods just bad diets.

McDonald's french fries and french silk pie blizzards...4

Ruffles potato chips and French Onion Dip. Can't have it in the house, 'cause I have no power to resist the stuff.6

While this statement is true, you can eat salads every day, but no doctor is going to recommend Taco Bell every day.Ruffles potato chips and French Onion Dip. Can't have it in the house, 'cause I have no power to resist the stuff.
That's actually my favorite chip n dip combination. I particularly love the Ruffles Baked Cheddar and Sour Cream with the french onion dip.8 -

If you can fit Taco Bell into your goals then yes you can have it every day. I believe they have a light menu...3 -
Nachos5

Sugar. I bake my own junk food, and it would be nice if all that sugar I use was healthier...6

Spicy Pepperoni Pizza Rolls
or..
Cheesecake (any variety).1 -
I agree with @ndj1979 , but if I had to name the favourite foods that I wish were more calorie friendly, it's definitely cheesecake and southern fried chicken2

10000% Nachos. Definitely nachos8

Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes.7

YESSSSSSS and potato chips, the good greasy Lays and French onion dip1 -
Yes, you can and I do fit everything in in moderation.... But if I could make some foods magically the nutritional and caloric profile of broccoli (which I also like btw):
Pizza
Wine
Boneless chicken wings
Whiskey
Pad Thai
.....putting this in because of the above comments, though I don't and wouldn't eat this that often despite really enjoying it when I do: cheddar and sour cream ruffles with ranch dip.
....maybe it wouldn't be good if the booze were "good for me"... I'm going with pizza.

Bourekas (savory flaky-dough turnovers, typically stuffed with potato, mushroom, spinach, or cheese).2

You can actually make nachos with shredded cheese and lots of veggies and it's a bit healthier. But that processed queso is just right sometimes.2 -

You've made the point I was attempting to make so much more eloquently than I could, so I thank you for that.
If I were able to drink excessive amounts of wine without hurting my body, you know I would.1 -
Cosmic brownies. If they were a little lower in calories overall and didn't have trans fat I'd incorporate them as a treat but I'd just rather not go to the effort right now.4

Cheetos!4

double cheese pizza

I CANNOT believe you just said that...I am completely obsessed with Taco Bell!! I'd eat it everyday if I could, and actually did in high school for lunch haha. I also do not get diarrhea from it, haha. I saw this thread in the forum and entered with the intention of say Taco Bell, and then I saw your post. Sooo glad someone gets me4 -
I miss Taco Bell so much. It's been 4 years next month2

Pink snowballs- hits me right in the childhood nostalgia.3

I wish chinese food was as healthy as broccoli! Oh man I love that stuff. I could just pull up a chair at a buffet.
So sadly I have had a dinner for one only once in the last 18 months - it is not something I can moderate. On the day I had it for dinner, I had eaten nothing else (not by choice). I still probably went over calorie budget that day....3 -
Excessive alcohol..11

Grilled cheese sandwiches or mac & cheese. Just too many carbs in both.9
