If You Had No Choice...

Anything in moderation. :flowerforyou:

McDonalds: Fruit & Walnut Salad!! [:


Edit: You can turn any sub into a salad at Subway. Just watch the cheese & dressing intake.

I agree with the moderation idea, maybe also consider a kids' meal but just assume you will be doing extra workout soon after. You gotta live!

i would say you always have a *choice* ... I'm learning that even the "healthiest" choices in these places will still trigger something in the brain. I did some research and discovered that a lot of the ingredients that fast food restaurants use, act like drugs to our brains, they release endorphins ... and thus make us want it more and more becoming addicted.

Mcdonalds- I get 2 grilled chicken spicy buffalo wraps and tear off the extra wrap. I eat it with a diet coke. it is 350 calories. Or 400 calories if you eat it all.

Wendys- i get the ultimate grill chicken without the sauce, half fries diet coke it is about 500 calories

Subway and quiznos - chicken light dressing lots of veggies on whole wheat bread

I would go pick something else up if they went to those other places places.

This is only if it is a meal time. if it is a snack i might grab a diet pop and sit maybe steal 2 to 4 of their fries.

Chipotle is probably the healthiest option, but they also have rather large portions. Still, you have the most control there over what goes into your meal, and everything is freshly made.

It's basically like Subway, but for burritos, and with better/fresher ingredients.

Subway.

I really don't like any of those places - but, I can handle Subway now and then. The rest? ICK.

I'd get a 6" turkey sub on wheat with mustard, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and maybe avocado at Subway, but I don't worry so much about sodium and I hear it's pretty bad there. And be VERY careful at Chipotle--their burritos have, like, 1000 calories each. Also I don't know about Pizza Hut but Domino's has thin crust pizza if you ask for it, and I actually think it tastes a LOT better than their normal type.

Anywhere I go, I always order water. It does help!


-Chipotle- Burrito bowls. Black beans, cilantro lime rice, corn salsa, no cheese, and I order the sour cream/guacamole to the side. That way I can determine how much I have.

-Pizza Hut: Thin crust veggie pizza

-Subway: Veggie delight (no cheese) sub topped with a little oil and vinegar.

Chipotle, totally. Salad with black beans, fajita veggies, salsa, guac, no cheese no meat no sour cream no dressing was in the 300 calorie range, allegedly. And so good. I am a guacamole fiend.

I'll eat anywhere, its abou portion control and eating the best you can...

So eata salad and 1 slice of pizza and a glass of water, not Four slices and a large soda.......that's the difference

Exactly, and then it's sustainable as a lifestyle

Don't laugh....I order one of the child size options and you get a free gift!!! (The mini wraps are a couple of mouthfuls and quite tasty.)

What others said - I look at menus and pick something that fits my day. If you didn't look in advance, almost anything that says "grilled chicken" is usually going to be your healthy option ata fast food place AS LONG AS YOU drop some of the unhealthy things that come on it - like Mayo and sometimes the cheese (varies) and any other high calorie dressings. Mustard is free basically, as is tomato-onion-pepper type salsas (pretty close to free anyway), ketchup ain't too bad, vinegar, etc.

At chipotle I tend to get a bol - just stay away from the tortillas. If you want to have all the other stuff (rice, beans, etc) you are better off saving yourself the calories from the tortilla. If you are good to have tacos with just meat and veggies thats also not a bad option. I usually get rice, beans, meat, grilled veggies or lettuce, corn salsa (Calories here, so be aware) and guac (lots of calories here too so be aware, but good fat and nutrients). What I just listed is a pretty high calorie item because I eat big meals - if you need less cut out the rice and/or guac (Depending on how much less).

I'd get a kids meal, w/o the fries-usually they offer a garden salad or fruit if you ask (in Canada anyway). Diet drink obviously.

Sometimes you gotta eat-and sometimes it has to be fast food.

-Mcdonalds - spicy chicken wrap - tropicana

-Pizza Hut - ham and pineapple, italian base
-Subway - steak and cheese 6in


they dont have any of the others in the UK

If i was going to eat fast food with friends, id order as normal. Its so rare that i dont think its a problem
