    NO FAST FOOD! There are no healthier options!!
    Yes there are. See above.
    Thanks for reading ALL of the message. Also, really???? Just cause there are some options with less calories does not change the fact that they are serving you crap! Processed food with artifical fillers can be very low cal but damn they are bad for you! The reason there are even sites like MFP in this country is because we live by fast food and its turned us so obese! Other countries do not have weight issues like we do and other countries do not have drive thrus and fast food on every corner!!!!!

    sorry, not trying to argue....being from another Country I have to say it isn't true..we have fast food everywhere too...We got obese from eating too much...yes healthy and natural is the way to go....and the only way we should live...however we got fat from eating too much....even too many veggies and too many fruits you will gain....we have lost touch with full and stop....

    I was not made obese by fast food, I was made obese by eating too much. Much of that was homemade, but I ate WAY too much of it. I ate fast food as well, but again way too much. If I had not eaten so much, but instead a reasonable meal of 600-700 calories, I would never have become obese.

    Tim Horton`s chicken wrap, as long as you don`t have the Ceasar dressing!

    I eat the following fast foods:

    Taco bell chicken fresca tacos.. sometimes get the pintos and cheese as they have alot of fiber (although I try not to mix in all the "sauce" because I'm sure we it has the brunt of the sodium.)

    Jimmy johns vegetarian sandwich ( I do usually get it on wheat but then only eat one slice because their wheat bread has so many calories but I know the nutrition content is going to be better than white.)

    I always try to have my own salad dressing with me (I keep it at work or home). I get Maple Farms of Vermont Fat Free Balsamic because it is low cal and super low sodium unlike other dressings. So that way if I get a grilled chicken salad from McDonalds I don't use their dressing which has tons of sodium and I don't feel as bad about the sodium in the chicken.

    I don't beat myself up if I have a small hamburger from McDonalds or Wendys or something... I just try not to get fries of course.

    I eat Dunkin Donuts breakfast anytime of the day if I am driving and need to eat fast food... either the Egg White Veggie Wrap or Flatbread (Flatbread has more cals and sodium than the wrap.)

    SO, I do eat fast food... and I know many say don't ever do it.. but I am do the best I can for ME.

    Good luck!
