Do you count Subway as 'fast food'? Its fast, but they've got a lot of good choices there... I love my BLT with avocado and tons of veggies no mayo which comes out to 440 calories on their website. Probably more sodium that should have... but again, its about changes you can do. Its surely better than the Sbarros sausage stromboli I used to have several times a week.
Great tips, ty for posting them.
My only addition would be to watch beverages. There are lots of empty calories out there. I struggle horribly with diet coke and avoiding alcohol, but I'm sure its good advice to minimize both, and drink as much water as you can stand. I need to work on this. *ahem* among other things. lol0 -
Thanks for the great tips. I will add that if you MUST get fast food, Subway is your best bet. I get a veggie salad - all fresh veggies, no added sodium - or a 6-inch veggie sub on 9-grain bread. I don't do this often, but when I need to stop for a quick lunch and didn't have time to pack one. I completely bypass the rest of the fastfood chains though.0

My go-to "fast food" is Chipotle. I have a salad bowl with carnitas, black beans, fajita vegetables, corn salsa, guacamole, pico, and salsa. 449 calories of healthy deliciousness! 17 net carbs, 10 fat, 35 protein, 13 fiber. Sodium is high (compared to most of my meals) at 1186, but I don't do it more than once a week...0

I disagree with the 40-30-30, I do 30-30-40. I don't eat bread, pasta crackers, or white rice. All my carbs come from fruit, veggies, brown rice and sweet potatoes. I do this to keep my blood sugar levels low, as per doctors orders.
Alice-that salad bowl can't have that many black beans in it with only 17 grams of carbs. I think it sounds yummy though.0 -

Those are net carbs (carbs less fiber) - it's 30 total.0 -

I didn't realize I was middle-aged until now.
I am not sure I am happy with it.
