Love the Taco Bell Fresco Menu! It is SO good and I don't miss the "fatty" stuff at all. The only thing is it IS pretty high in sodium but if you make it an occasional thing and watch your sodium the rest of the day, it isn't too bad. I had the Fresco Zesty Chicken Border Bowl today. Yummy and very filling!

When I am at a mall, I usually do Taco Bell or Subway! :) It's always good to know where you can get lower calorie/fat meals while out.

    Fresca just means they leave out the bad stuff no cheese and sour cream. Don't touch those new fiesta platters they are advertising on tv I looked them up and they are over 1000. I can't remember exactly but I know I will never have that. I got the veggie sandwich from subway and they put so many veggies on it I did not even miss the meat. It was really good and spicy.

    There are menus at Taco Bell with the nutrition of the new fresco items or you can look online to have an idea. Yeah, a lot of the stuff there is still VERY bad for you but these new items are great. The Border Bowl has chicken, beans, rice, lettuce, tomato and a fresh salsa. You don't even miss the cheese!

    I am the same at Subway. You get all the veggies on it and you don't even taste the cheese if you do get it. It's very easy to eat lighter nowadays.

    Chicken tacos look pretty 'innocent' hehe:smile: I haven't had one yet, mostly because I don't like to go out to eat that often (broke lol). If I go somewhere like that, I'll usually just get a salad with all the crummy stuff taken off; at Wendy's if you get the grilled chicken salad, for a buck extra you get a TON of extra chicken.
