I am eating out tonight, and it is already decided it is fast food. (on my way to bowling league) so the question is which is safest? I pass by Sonic, Dairy queen, Jack n box, Arbys, Subway, possibly a taco bell, wendys. So what can i eat?
also given the fact that i'm bowling and going to burn 400-500 cals and that will be it for the night so i'm not overly concerned but i thought i would ask. I should have minimum of 700 cals before i ever get to dinner and that DOES NOT include what i'll burn bowling.

Look at the nutritional info online, and pick whatever you like that fits your calories. With that many calories allotted, you will have a lot of options.0

This link shows 10 fast food lunches under 500 calories. Subway and Taco Bell are both on the list. Most have the nutritional calculators online, too. Good luck!0 -

Eat whatever you want. As long as it fits in your macros and your daily calorie intake.

I'd say a salad or grilled chicken sandwich from Wendy's, OR Subway is always a safe bet if you stick to turkey or chicken on wheat. For either choice, stay away from any dressings or mayo.0

I vote "subway" lol0
-
pick a spot and find an healthy choice on the menu. Enjoy. The only place around here that i cant do that is KFC. there is no healthy choices on the menu.0

if it were me... fresco ranchero chicken soft tacos. The bad thing about subway, its LOADED with salt! It seems healthy, until you see all the salt you just ate.. gross.0

my go-to fast food is the chicken fajita pita at jack-in-the box. get it without cheese for a lower cal count. when i was pregnant wiht gestational diabetes, that was the only fast food that wouldn't spike my blood sugar. with the cheese, it's 326 cals. take the cheese off and it's only 234 cals! it's a whole grain pita bread with grilled chicken and veggies. yum!0

Subway is your best choice, anything but the salami meats is good, and no sauces. stick to a 6 inch or flatbread.
DQ is fine if you get the grilled chicken sandwich, no fries.
Taco bell is good if you get the fresco style and the chicken. skip the big burritos - though they are filling so it depends on your calorie day. With any of taco bell just tell them to hold the sour cream and the nacho sauce.
Wendy's - meh just stay away. or get anything grilled with a baked potato (and hold the sour cream)
Arby's is gross.
Can't vouch for the others as we don't have those in Canada.0 -
Bowling really doesn't burn that many calories. I wish it did! Remember to deduct what you would normally burn if you were just sitting around, and it barely makes 200 cals.0
-
Salad at Wendy's with chicken and light dressing - yum. You can also check their calorie intakes out online so you can decide if you want a side to go with it. Good luck bowling and have a great time.0

Subway is probably the best.
I also like KFC grilled chicken fillets for pure protein/calorie POV.0 -
Safe from what? From high salt content? From excess fat intake? From gunshot wounds? From unplanned pregnancy?0
-
i always look at the nutritional facts online before I get fast food. Make sure to look at the sodium info, as this is where most fast food screws you over. one jr bacon cheeseburger from wendy's has over 900mg of sodium :noway:0
-
Eat what you want, just portion control. Don't indulge and you can have whatever. Think smart0
-
Wendy's I think seems to have the best options for a healthy choice. Here are the options I have chosen in the past when in the same situation as you mentioned:
Baked Potato (I think they have sweet poatoes now too) - plain
Cup of Chili
Side Salad
I don't know too much about the other choices but someone mentioned the chicken sandwiches and if you go with that, you might want to add a salad to that.
Good luck to you and thanks for the question.

The best fast food is the one that's so fast you can't catch it!0

Exactly what i thought when i saw the thread title!0 -
All those places post their menus (and I believe nutritional information) on their websites.0

Man, if fast food ever gets me pregnant, I'm definitely going after child support. They have a lot of money!0
