    Love Wendy's Apple Pecan chicken salad (half size). Low in calories and fat and fills me up. You can skip the pecans to save even more calories but I don't ;)

    I get Hale & Hearty a lot when they have soup that I like that is also lower in calorie on that day's menu.. I also sometimes get a salad they mix there.
    silly but whenver i visit NYC we go to hale and hearty for lunch. The soup is so good! Of course I don't live on the east coast anymore so I wont' even get the once a year anymore.. man I missed the city last Christmas!!

    fast food places huh? I like noodles and company.. but very select things.. bangcok curry no meat and cucumber tomato salad or thai soup..

    I also like the tacos at taco express. Best things next to my own.

    Wing stop if I can't quell the wing craving myself at home..

    Went to Panera bread for the 1st time last month and got thier cobb salad.. it was good.. suprised me :)

    My guy like Qdoba and will drag me there once in a great while.

    But I rarely eat at any of them. Sometimes if i'm not paying attention to what i use to cook, i log my food as those things, just to cover the calories. Happens occasionally.. like mostly when my guy is the one doing the cooking. Damn southern comfort food. LOL

    Chickfila..I actually get a kids meal. 4 piece nuggets, small fruit cup, lowfat milk. I also include a side salad with ff dressing.
    I love Chipolte but I put lots of sour cream and stuff on my chicken bowl so it doesn't end up being very healthy. I don't go there often:(

    I like to go to Subway where I get a 6 inch pepperoni and bacon with cheese and veggies.

    Occasionally I get a bowl of soup at Tim Horton's.

    If I go somewhere that takes up more calories such as McDonald's, I'll get a single cheeseburger dressed like a Mac....if I go to Burger King I get a veggie burger.

    Trying to avoid most fast food but I've gotten in the habit of Dunkin Donuts for breakfast lately. I need to go back to preparing breakfast... it's hard when I get up early and have to be out of the house... oh well..

    Just did this yesterday in another thread, so forgive me for cutting and pasting:

    KFC: Grilled chicken breast and wing, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans = 445 calories

    Taco Bell: 2 chicken soft tacos fresco, side of black beans = 380 calories

    Steak n' Shake: Single steakburger with small fries = 520 calories

    Panda Express: Panda Bowl with half steamed rice, half veggies and Kung Pao Chicken = 465 calories. If you don't feel like rice, get just veggies for the side and add Broccoli Beef for a 2-entree plate and it's only 430 calories.

    Wendy's: Jr. Hamburger and small chili = 460 calories

    McDonald's: Hamburger Happy Meal (burger, fries, apple slices, low-fat milk) = 470 calories

    Burger King: Whopper Jr., value onion rings = 490 calories

    Popeye's: Spicy thigh, red beans & rice = 490. Less food for the calories because the chicken is fried, but the beans & rice are filling. And Popeye's spicy is my favorite fried chicken in the whooooooooole world.

    Haven't done fast food for years, even gave up gluten so there is really not much in fast food restaurants that I can eat anyway. We all make our choices. I like to know how my food is made, where it comes from and what is in it. I prefer to spend my calories on whole clean and healthy food. this is forever for me. Fast food was the first to disappear and will never be back.

    Oh my gosh I could eat fast food every single day if it wouldn't kill me. But it would, so I have to try really hard with this.

    What I try for:

    Mr. Sub - Veggie Sub, rarely I'll get a Turkey Sub with veggies.
    Harvey's (burger place) - Veggie Burger with fries
    Tim Horton's - Chicken Wrap

    What I really want:

    McDonalds - Quarter Pounder with cheese with fries ;)

    I try to stay away from the fast food chains like McDonalds, Harveys, Wendy's... because lets face it... even their "healthy" food complete crap.... I remember one morning I went to McDoodles and bought their yogurt parfait before work.... so much for "fresh fruit".,,, the damn strawberies were frozen solid!!!

    I admit sometimes we all have to give in to the odd craving... but even if it does fit into my daily calories - I find its not worth it for me- in about 20 minutes I either feel sluggish or hungry again lol.

    If I eat out I try to stick with subway, or pita-pit, fresh sushi, a sandwich or wrap from timmies... or even sometimes a booster juice works well :)
