    Chipotle is terrible, and I think South Park did the best explanation of that. Subway...if I want a sandwich made with pre-packaged meat I'll go to the store and pick up some tasty meats, and a good bread.

    Chipotle is my favorite healthy eating out place. They offer brown rice, black beans, I can ask for extra veggies, the calorie counts are available, even on their menu, you can ask for high calorie items on the side, etc.

    Generally on the weekends, I split a bowl between lunch and dinner. My bowl is about 700 calories (estimate) including the guacamole.

    I love the Burger King BK Veggie Burger (No Mayo) 320 Calories. You have to make sure you say no mayo because they will smother it with a ton of calories.

    As long as you can access the nutritional information online you should be able to select SOMETHING that fits your daily intake at most restaurants. Given that it's going to be a once-in-a-while thing, I wouldn't concern yourself with anything other than fitting it into your calorie/macro totals.

    That being said, my #1 choice is Chipotle because:

    1) It tastes great
    2) They have a calc on-line here:
    http://www.chipotle.com/en-us/menu/nutrition_calculator/nutrition_calculator.aspx
    3) I can customize according to my macro room for the day.

    Typically I get a burrito bowl with double-chicken.

    Thank you so much for giving that url for chipolte; I didn't know they had a nutrition calulator that is so easy. This is fantastic!

    Jimmy Johns - NO MAYO, if you really want to reduce calories or carbs get an unwich.

    Thanks for the reminder. I totally forgot about that. When I was working the night shift a few months ago we would get lunch from there. Totally healthy stuff and reasonable prices..
    7-Eleven
    LOVE that place!
    They have actual healthy choices.
    Hard boiled eggs, bananas, carrots, celery, fruits.
    Sandwiches on wheat bread.
    Special K shakes

    The list goes on.
