    Impossible to answer that question without context. No one food is healthy or unhealthy (barring trans fat possibly) when part of a balanced diet. It all depends how it fits.

    Healthiest? Whichever place that has decent macros for the calories. I like that McDonald's has started to offer side salads with their combos. The grilled chili mcwraps are really awesome. A lot of times, I'll skip fries, etc and try to focus on the meat and veggies. Be careful with salads though, some can be more calories than a burger

    They all offer something that's less calories and help meet macros.

    I like subway just because you can choose what you want and don't want, and they have a wider variety of vegetables to choose from that other fast food places. I really like the veggie delight on flatbread. The guy I go to toasts the vegetables with olive oil and oregano before toasting. So yummy.

    I'm with those who say that it depends a lot on your personal calorie and nutrition goals. When I go out for fast food it tends to be Chipotle or Jimmy Johns because they're close by and I like them. I'll also stop by McDonald's occasionally if I'm after breakfast. An egg mcmuffin fits my breakfast goals pretty well. And I'd go to Arby's more often if our local Arby's didn't have the worst service ever.
