    My fave to have is the KFC Grilled 1 piece breast - with side of green been and mashed potatoes - I take off the skin from the meat and ask them to hold the biscuit - it is not bad at all in calories nor sodium...

    Chick Fil A (Where I work) has good salads, grilled sandwiches, grilled nuggets, fruit cups and two different kinds of soups.

    My suggestion is a 6 or 8 nugget grilled with a side salad with light Italian dressing.

    It's been a little while, but Taco Bell has their "healthy" menu.

    A single Fresco chicken burrito has 350 calories. The key to it is to only eat one. It's been enough to fill me up.

    This works for me as well. I'll aslo stop and get a meal replacement smoothie which can be quite filling but be careful, you've got to watch what they put in it. I typically go to Smoothie King and get a Gladiator with two fruits, about 400 calories.

    My fallback is usually the Veggie Burger meal from Burger King. I'd get the sandwich (no mayo, ketchup or cheese... use common sense), loaded with tomato and pickles. Replace the fries with their apple fries, and a bottled water instead of a soda. It's actually not that expensive either, considering their veggie burger is Morning Star brand.

    Nutritional breakdown comes down to around this (for just the sandwich):

    320 calories
    1g sat. fat
    0mg cholesterol
    6g sugar
    42g carbs
    7g fat
    0g trans fat
    22g protein
    1070mg sodium

    Sushi can be.
    Chipotle isn't awful for you, if you avoid the vinaigrette dressing, guacamole, and the tortillas and tortilla chips.

    LOVE Chipotle! You can order a "bowl" and make them like a divine salad! And they are so big that 1 "bowl" is actually 2 meals!

    Subway oven roasted chicken salads -- I LOVE these -- and get them loaded with all the veggies, omit the cheese and then ask for my dressing on the side. An entire salad has less than 300 calories (without dressing). this is actually my Friday "treat" of dining out at lunch!

    I don't eat fast food very often but my go to is a Wendy's large chili. Its 310 calories and has lots of fiber due to the beans and keeps me full for a long time!

    Subway has good choices, also Wendy's chili is OK...just no cheese or crackers.

    My fast food of choice is always Chick Fil A. I usually get the chargrilled chicken salad or if I want bread, the grilled chicken sandwich. No fries, of course!
