    I hope you won't take this as criticism, just sharing more options. I'm probably more conscious than ever of the sodium in fast food. And yes I've always known it was salty but now I have a different context. I was surprised to see how high this is.

    Subway just announced they're going to be cutting back on sodium in their food over the next year. Looking forward to it. Hope this motivates other restaurants to do the same.

    I'm on the road a lot for work and fast food is often the easiest option as I run about. I think there are people who'd like to be able to enjoy it and are just trying to balance how they can do this and manage their goals. I'm also sensitive to sodium since even though it isn't a problem for me, my ethnicity predisposes me to high blood pressure risks.

    If I had or wanted to I'd probably choose to get one of the posted meals but only eat half & have a salad with a touch of light dressing. You can get a salad from almost any fast food restaurant and be a bit more full at the end of your meal. Also by having half of the other option you get to have a fast food fix with less sodium.

    Thanks for sharing - I think it's always good to know what you can eat in a pinch or if you really want fast food but don't want to derail your progress.


    I love to hear constructive criticism! It's much appreciated! I just dont like it when its just plain negative. Thank you for sharing :)

    Some of those I'd hardly call meals.

    Also, the McDonalds Bacon Ranch Chicken Salad with grilled chicken is only 260 calories. Their southwest dressing is 100 for the packet and I'd argue you can easily get by with only half a packet. And that's a lot more filling than most of the stuff on this list.

    I see some posts about negative comments. I hope my comment wasn't taken as negative. I was just sharing my opinion.

    I agree! I'd be starving if all I had was a whopper jr for a meal .. and I'd have no sodium left for the day!
