I just happened to find this website:

http://www.drgourmet.com/health/fastfood/

It gives you lists (printable!) of what are the healthiest (or least calorie) foods at the following fast food restaurants:

Baja Fresh
Boston Market
Burger King
Chik-Fil-A
Cosi
Hardee's
Jack-in-the-Box
KFC
McDonald's
Noodles and Company
Panera Bread
Popeye's
Potbelly Sandwich Works
Subway
Taco Bell
Wendy's

For me this list is invaluable, as my kids still like to have the occasional chicken nuggets (operative word being "occasional!") and fries (and toy, of course!) but I'm not too keen about getting a grilled chicken filet with mustard and half a bun for my lunch. YES it's better not to go to fast food at all, but when you do, it's good to know the "safest" foods to get. :n)

    Thanks for posting.

    I was checking out the Chic Fil'a list and his calorie count on some of the chic fil'a list (chicken cool wrap) are lower than the actual chic fil'a site.

    I would double check the calories to be sure. He has the cool wrap at 380 calories and their site says 410 calories - ??
