    Taco Bell's Chicken Crunchy Tacos..... only 150 Cal per taco. Way better than some of the sandwiches at Subway and a helluva lot better than Mickey D's, BK or the others.

    Run in a grocery store, grab some produce (apples, grapes, oranges, carrots) and some nuts. Take them to the express check out. Run back to your car. You got a fast meal *and* a small workout. :-)

    YAY!! I love it!!

    These items are exactly what I order! I also like Wendys small chili poured over a plain side salad.

    Starbucks has fruit, hard boiled egg, cheese and peanut butter to go...
    Wendy's Apple Chicken Pecan Salad, one dressing packet, or none, and hold the cheese
    Extreme Pita Small or reg Thai Chicken Pita, on WW, (regular is 444 cals and is HUGE, no cheese, tons of veggies!!)
    I try and eat whole foods as much as possible on a daily basis... trying to eat as clean as possible. It doesn't work for everyone... Even these healthier options come in higher than

    Those are my go to quick pinch eating out options. Or I go to grocery, grap a small veggie tray, or fruit. Honestly lately I tend to take a cooler bag with me, with a couple hard-boiled eggs, veggies, cans of tuna, Wild roots trail mix, and lots of water.

    Subway or a Happy Meal (you can substitute fries for apple slices, and you can get an extra treat instead of a toy - further, the portion sizes are perfect for an adult)

    I just discovered Extreme Pita, and they have lots of lower-calorie items. I had the buffalo chicken wrap and some pita chips, and it was very good and filling (although the sodium was a bit high -- I had been doing SO good today!)

    I also frequent Fuddruckers quite a bit. (HUH?) Their Napa Valley Salad is about 450 calories, and is similar to Wendy's pecan salad, but a little bigger. It comes with Garlic Toast, but I ususally exclude this so that the meal is not 650 calories. They also have a veggie burger, and some leaner meats like buffalo which are quite good. If I go for those, I skip the bun. I haven't tried their salmon yet, but it's on my list of things to try.

    I used to travel alot with my position, too. It's part of the reason I got here in the first place! :blushing:

    Good luck with your adventure!

    Wow tons of great food ideas. Some I have tried and some that I have not. Thanks guys for all the great tips. The grocery store would be the best option if they only have a drive-thru :laugh: . I do pack tons of snacks, fruit and drinks but sometimes ya just want some food. Gonna try some of these items that you guys really like. My problem is that Raising Cane's and Chick Fil A seems to drive my car to them and order for me. I am going to do better now that I know some options that real people have eaten :huh: . Thanks

    Anything with grilled chicken. Personally if I get a salad I use the dressing and cheese, but many leave those out. Grilled chicken sandwiches are my friend! The chicken fajita pita from Jack in the Box rocks and is around 300 calories.
