in Food and Nutrition
So I know that there are times when lack of time may make us go eat fast food.
What is your favorite low calorie fast food?
I'm trying to come up with a list of my go to fast food so I am prepared in this kind of situation.
Thanks!

    I'm a big fan of Subway. They have decent options and you can get nutritional information at all locations so you can choose wisely. Though, a word to the wise, never ever do their ranch sauce. SO bad for you.

    I'll get a salad or a wrap if I need to eat fast food! Never fries and pop and I try to stay away from breaded chicken/bacon/etc. Subway is great and makes it easy to make healthy choices!

    Quizno's is another place that has a list of foods with calorie content. Though at my closest one, it's not displayed, you have to ask for the list.

    Totally Subway. I also like Panera, because they have tons of options, all of their nutrition info, and it's high quality ingredients. Also, with Chipotle, if you choose wisely, you can definitely get filling, healthy food.

    Carl's Jr I get either their Charbroiled BBQ chicken sandwich with the bun it is only 390cals and tasts great or as a lettuce wrap for 180cals, that leaves room for a salad or something else to go with it. OR the Gaucamole Turkey Burger lettuce wrap for 280cals. Or of course subway. Also Panda Express has some great low cal options.

    Wendy's small chili is 210 calories. It's soooo good too!

    Never do their bread either, 2500mg of sodium minimum. I've avoided them for awhile.

    I just don't do fast food. if I do, a grilled chicken sandwich of some sort, no fries.

    Subway ( if I need a quick dinner) Usually veggie delite or black forrest ham. I love subway because it allows me to add my pickles and peppers.
    McDonalds- Salads, yogurt parfait
    Usually those are the only fast food places I will go to on treat day.

    if I don't snack too much, I can handle a happy meal once in a while- I love Wendy's baked potatoes too. :)

    Taco Bell is not bad if you order it "Fresco style." There are several not-to-bad burgers out there. I usually just punch in whatever restaurant I'm at and check what's low cal before ordering.

    This!!!

    But get it without the cheese and sour cream! And definitely stay away from the chips, even though they are mega good.

    Chipotle salads and Subway (yeah, I know about the sodium content). Worse case scenario, salads are decent at McDonalds.

    I absolutely LOVE Jack in the Box's chicken fajita pita! Well-seasoned chicken, grilled onions and peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, and just enough cheese to taste it on a whole wheat pita. Only 318 calories!!! In fact, now I am craving one :-)
    More tasty than any chicken sammy I have had anywhere else with less "bun" calories to deal with. Enjoy!
