I got this from another website but have not checked it out for myself (yet). We all sometimes get caught unprepared, without lunch, or want to go out with the group, or have kids that want to go to fast food, so I thought I'd like to know the least damaging item on the menus of a couple of fast food joints. I ate the Taco Frescos and still lost that week.

What to eat at fast foods under 350 calories

Chinese- Panda Express-Mongolian Beef & Veggies = 235 calories
Sub – Subway – 6” Turkey breast & black forest ham on 9-grain wheat – mustard no mayo = 310
Nuggets-Chick-Fil-a (8) count w/ barbque sauce = 315
McDonald’s grilled honey mustard snack wrap and side salad w/ balsamic vinaigrette = 320
Burger King Junior Whopper w/o mayo and BK apple fries = 330
Taco Bell Fresco Chicken Soft Taco (2) = 340 calories

    Check out "Eat this not that" series from Men's health. They have a restaurant survival guide that is quite useful on the fly.

    I read this article too. My daughter wanted to do BK the other day and I did the junior whopper w/o mayo and apple fries. I thought this is gonna suck...I want real french fries. But, it was actually really good and filling! It is some good info.

    It only gives calories. What about fat, sodium, etc.?

    Have you checked out the fat and salt content on them?? Thats important too. Food like this actually makes you more hungry.

    '

    I agree, but sometimes you have to do SOMETHING and you don't have another option. This is just great reference for those times when "life" happens.
