    Here are some options that I usually go for :-)

    McDonald's --> Any type of salad with grilled chicken! My favorite is the Teriyaki Chicken one (the asian style)

    Wendy's --> The Baja salad is amaazzzziiinnnggg :-P ..But just watch the guacamole, they usually put WAY more on than needed! (and if you're looking to cut out more calories, I would save the chilli that comes with it and have it for supper with some veggies) The Cobb salad is also really good, but I usually pick around the bacon on it.

    Subway --> At Subway I usually get a giant salad with chicken and sweet onion dressing. Or you could get a 6 inch turkey breast loaded with veggies and no cheese on white Italian bread (this form of bread has the least calories at Subway ^_^)

    Extreme Pita --> I get a regular grilled chicken pita loaded up with veggies and with a little bit of hot sauce in it (not for everyone, but I personally love it)

    Opa --> This is one of my all time favorite places to go! I usually get the greek salad with one skewer of chicken on the side! So yummy :-P

    Tokyo Express --> I usually go for the salmon roll combo here. It's really filling with the rice and there are so many health benefits to having salmon - plus it tastes delicious!!

    Dairy Queen --> Surprisingly, they have a good chicken ceasar salad (pretty much the only healthy option though)

    That's all I can think of for now, but good luck! xx

    KFC grilled chicken!!!! A drumstick is only 90 calories. A thigh is only 170. A breast is 220. Total that is only 480. I usually get two drumsticks and a thigh for 350, but you can do it other ways.

    I too like Subway as a healthy choice and they just opened one near my office that I can walk to in just a few minutes.

    Hello All,

    i am forced to buy my lunch today and I have no idea what to get myself.

    I want something healthy and filling so I can last until dinner.
    I have access to most popular chains since I work above a large mall in Montreal (the undergrounds)

    Anyone have any suggestions?

    I eat out for lunch nearly all the time - and I'm usually under 400.

    Jimmy The Greek or any other Mediterranean place - chicken skewer (NOT schwarma) on salad, no dressing, with cheese and side of tzatziki - likely around 300 calories if you get it like I do and fat mostly in the greek yogurt of the tzatziki. Adding dressing can also add 2-300 calories.

    Freshwest or Chipotle or another burrito shop - Inside out burrito or salad (no tortilla) with chicken if you want meat, or go veggie. I go veggie with no cheese or sour cream, but WITH guacamole.

    In a pinch, McDonalds and Wendys have some options. I'm partial to the grilled chicken at Wendy's WITHOUT the honey mustard.

    I also hit Manchu Wok (or Panda Garden for Americans?) regularly for a grilled spiced chicken on stir fried bean sprouts. Careful, some franchises only have fried and battered food, but the mixed veg on rice wouldn't be horrible.

    Middle Eastern / Lebanese veggie plates can work nicely; tahini is relatively low in calories, but stay away from the garlic sauce. Taboulli is a fantastic source of parsley... I mean potassium.

    Subway as others have said, however any place that you can get grilled chicken and some sort of salad will do. Most fast food places have that now. Check out their websites and you'll be able to pick out something good I'm sure.

    Do you have a World Health in your mall? they have Moo's Juice restaurants in there that are healthy. Subway is also my go-to. I get the sweet onion chicken teriyaki salad
