Just my luck I forgot my awesome healthy lunch at home. So is there any healthy fast food? Or maybe not healthy but at least with the less calories?

    Sushi?

    i.e. Nigiri and sashimi - california rolls and other stuff with mayo or tempura fillings can have more calories than you expect!

    Sushi can be.
    Chipotle isn't awful for you, if you avoid the vinaigrette dressing, guacamole, and the tortillas and tortilla chips.

    Fresco tacos at Taco Bell are 150 calories a piece. You can build your own sandwich on Subway.com to see the calorie count. (I usually get a turkey and bacon melt with veggies and a bag of Baked Lays for under 500 calories).

    I vote for either sushi or subway. Is there a grocery store near you? You could grab the ready made salads, veggie dip tray, healthy sandwich.

    It's been a little while, but Taco Bell has their "healthy" menu.

    A single Fresco chicken burrito has 350 calories. The key to it is to only eat one. It's been enough to fill me up.

    I eat at subway. Oven roasted chicken, whole wheat bread, no cheese, light mayo = 370 calories or so.

    Grilled chicken sandwiches from Wendy's or Chic-Fil-A. Chic-Fil-A also has fruit bowls and yogurt instead of fries. Wendy's has side salads. My go-to fast food meal from Wendy's is a grilled chicken sandwich, plain, and a caesar side salad (but I don't eat the dressing). IMO, Wendy's tastes better than Chic-Fil-A.

    I just recently learned that the Chargrilled Chicken sandwich from Chick-Fil-A is actually not too bad. I think it's only got like 4 grams of fat. And it's served on a wheat bun.

    Panera has a ton of healthy options (though they can be higher in sodium); Subway is a good choice if you watch your toppings (cheese, oil, etc.). A salad or wrap at a deli, as someone above mentioned, can be good if you make smart choices.

    go to McDs webite and create your meal. I use this for days i have to run around. I love their grilled chicken sandwich no mayo and a parfait for 400 calories and like 5-6 grams of fat

    Don't order a combo meal. Order small or kids portions of items. Bring your own water/drink.

    Mcdonalds oatmeal- mine is around 200 (highish in sugar)
    Chipotle Bowl- Mine is just over 350 cals for the whole bowl
    Wendys Spicy nuggest- 230cals for 5 of them and filling!!!

    Starbucks has a few good warm sandwhiches and such. NO PASTRIES!!! (I worked there... never eat them!!)

    Subway of course.

    If you are feeling sandwich-y, Jimmy Johns has great options-I love their Beach Club Unwich (lettuce wrap)
    Also, interestingly enough, Hardees has low-carb options on most of their burgers. They sub a lettuce wrap for the bun and you save a bunch of calories. It's a little messy, but very tasty and will satisfy your burger fix.

    Def pick sashimi -- sushi is actually loaded with calories
