I'll add a couple of mine. Taco Bell steak or chicken fresco tacos are a favorite of mine. 3 of them contain only 420 calories and my go to diablo sauce is calorie free. This meal litters my diary frequently. I also like a large Chili from Wendy's. Believe it or not, it is pretty decent Chili for fast food. The large is only 270 calories, leaving plenty of leverage of saltines and their seasoning packets. It's also quite filling and packed with protein.

I love Cantina Bowls from Taco Bell (no sour cream, no guac)0

The Taco Bell steal power burrito, fresco style is up there.
Also just simple, og, McDonalds hamburger and small fries, right at 600, and worth ever last calorie.6 -
Chipotle-
3 portions of grilled veggies, steak, pico, cheese and lettuce. You can even add guac.
burrito tortilla, chicken, grilled veggies, salsa and lettuce
Potbelly-
Original size turkey or roast beef, no cheese, mustard, lettuce, tomato, onion. A whole pickle and a bag of baked chips5 -
Taco Bell Bean Burrito, no cheese. Add jalapeno and lettuce. 360 calories. If you add guacamole and potatoes, it's still under 600 -- 480.

Wendy's - small chili with a baked potato. I put the chili on the potato and add some hot sauce. OR a plain spicy chicken sandwich with a said of ranch.
Chipotle - 2 or 3 tacos with a little rice, chicken, salsa, lettuce and cheese.
McD's - egg mcmuffin with a parfait OR small fries4 -
-
Wendy's chicken nuggets + small chili
Taco places - anything with extra meat, light cheese, and some salsa. Maybe some beans or similar.
Although for me, protein content is a bigger concern with fast food than are calories. Ideally I want both (high protein and reasonable cals), but "ideal" is something I don't often meet up with.1 -
Wendys
Large Chili and Sour Cream and Chive baked potato. I usually pour half the chili onto the potato and only use half the sour cream.
Subway
Almost all of the 6 inch subs with water or zero calorie iced tea0 -
Taco Bell power menu bowl (grilled chicken), Extra chicken, NO rice, Add lettuce and a couple packs of fire sauce: ~400 calories0

Culver's Cranberry bacon Bleu salad. 360 calories without dressing. Raspberry vinaigrette dressing adds 45 calories.0

Also a fan of Wendy's chili and baked potato combo. I can't remember where I originally read about this suggestion, but it was a hell of a good one. Pour the chili on the potato and you have yourself an extremely hearty meal. The problem being is that the Wendy's closest to my apartment seem to be pretty much ALWAYS out of baked potato when I stop in. Very frustrating.1 -

While I love the power bowls also, per Taco Bell the steak and chicken bowls are 500 and 510 respectively. Only the veg power bowl is less.

My go-to items when I "have to" eat fast food:
Subway steak, egg & cheese flatbread with veggies and brown mustard (6 inch)
Taco Bell cheesy bean & rice burrito
Chipotle steak or chicken burrito bowl (I usually do no cheese, 1/2 sour cream, rice and beans, which is more like 700-ish calories but worth it)
Braum's kids hamburger meal with Greek yogurt
Chick-Fil-A largest order of grilled nuggets and a kids milk or iced coffee, unsweetened
McDonald's double cheeseburger, half bun, sometimes split fries with someone
Steak & Shake triple steakburger, no cheese, add mustard, pickle, lettuce & onion (giant burger that keeps me full for pretty much the rest of my day if I have it for lunch and it's around 500 calories)3 -
Jimmy John's Turkey Tom0

Arby roast beef sammich. yummy1
-
Panda Express - bowl with half fried rice, half mixed veggies and string bean chicken. 400 calories and 20g of protein. I probably eat there a bit too often haha
You could really bring down the calorie content if you went with all mixed veggies for the side, but I like fried rice too much.
Bowl with all fried rice and string bean chicken: 540 calories
Bowl with all mixed veggies and string bean chicken: 260 calories3 -
Egg McMuffin + a hash brown.
Double decker taco + two fresco crunchy tacos or one 7-layer burrito + one fresco crunchy taco
I tend to skip burgers because they mandate fries and fries are the calorie killers.1 -
Wendy's Spicy Chicken Wrap = 370 cals
Wendy's Kid-size Fries = 230 cals
That's my go-to.1
