    Chipotle bowls, chick-fil-a salads or sandwiches (if macros allow), and Paradise bakery salads are the main three I use.
  • Oh how I miss Chipotle I'm working in a small town these days and hardly have anything McD's, Subway, Taco Bell, Captain D's, BK, Sonic are about it

    I live in a small town.I wish we had mcd's, subway, taco bell, bk, sonic.... goodness. Options! Here is what I get when I happen to be near one of those places-

    mcd's- I get the grilled chicken classic, no mayo, large unsweetend ice tea, side salad with light vingrette OR a small strawberry banana smoothie with my grilled chicken sandwich.

    Subway 6 inch veggie delight on honey oat, with a packet of reduced calorie mayo, an oatmeal raisin cookie and unsweetend tea to drink.

    Taco Bell I tend to get the grilled chicken taco, fresco style, with a side order of beans.Water to drink. Or a bean burrito, fresco style and a carton of milk.

    Wawa has a premade turkey and cheese sandwich on a roll that comes with apple slices, for 300 calories. You can't miss it, it has a big sticker on the top that says 300 calories!

    Chipotle bowl with brown rice. It is more filling and you can make it into two meals if you want but it is so good I gobble down in one sitting. I get double meat for extra protein. Also started getting sour cream on the side to save some cals.

    Hmmmm.... When I go to a fast food place, I fully intend to eat all the things. If I'm not that hungry, I might grab a kids meal at McD's or a couple of Doritos locos at Taco Bell. Yum!

    I love getting a Chick-fil-a grilled chicken sandwich. Its only 320 cals and has 30g of protein. I tend to stay away from the waffle fries (even though they're amazing) and either get a salad or fruit cup as a side.

    Use Chipotle's nutrition calculator before you go: http://www.chipotle.com/en-us/menu/nutrition_calculator/nutrition_calculator.aspx

    Cals in the burrito bowls can add up quickly!

    Taco Bell-anything off of the Fresco menu!

    Burger King, Wendy's, McDonald's, Sonic-PLAIN grilled chicken...at Wendy's I get a plain baked potato as a side, McDonald's I get the apples. Burger King and Sonic don't have many healthy sides that I know of.

    Subway-Plain Steak and Cheese with wheat bread

    it's like QT...convenience store type of place where you can get fresh sandwiches (like subway) made...

    Sort of similar, Sheetz you can order sandwiches, salad, pizza all made to go...pretty good food too.

    Chickfila Cobb salad with grilled nuggets subbed for the fried with half a pack of the avocado lime ranch and a diet lemonade. Yum!

    Wendy's value menu hamburger is only 250 calories. It's small, but enough for a light meal or a big snack, if you're craving a burger.
