What are some healthy Entrees at different restaurants/fastfood places that anyone can recommend

i have not really had much fast food in the 6 wks since my surgery, however...a few people have suggested the grilled chicken wrap from McDonalds...i think ONE hard shell taco from any taco place would be good, some good Protein. Pintos and cheese from taco bell. grilled chicken from KFC. Soups are a good option.

Chili from Wendys is awesome which i have had a couple times. this is about my only eating out experience so far at a fast food place!

I had a hard shredded chicken taco from Taco Bell tonight for dinner . I've had the Wendy's chill on many occasions. I've also done the southwest grilled chicken salad at mcdonalds .. Which in no way could I finish.. On a road trip I had the turkey sausage egg white wake up wrap from Dunkin

My go to for a quick Breakfast on the run is to stop by McDs and eat a breakfast burrito. I open it up and eat the egg/cheese/sausage filling. I can't eat it all, but get in about 1/2 to 2/3rd of it. I toss the soft shell.

How long after surgery did you try the Wendy's Chilli?

I haven't had the surgery yet but my surgeon told me I can have a chicken sandwich from any fast food place (Mcdonald, Wendy's etc ) just ask for it to be wrapped in lettuce instead of the bread. The chili from Wendy's is good. At El Pollo Loco or Chipotle u can order a burrito bowl, it pretty much the filling of the burrito in a bowl with no tortilla.

Just keep rice at a very minimum. It expands in the tummy.

I get the chicken bowl at Chipoltes I just do not get any rice. chicken, Beans, cheese and salsa and sour cream on the side. It makes quite a few meals.

I was wondering about chipotle I don't know why I didn't think of the no rice portion lol.....what about baked potatoes?

Just keep rice at a very minimum. It expands in the tummy.

Its also a lot of carbs. ..

wendy's chili, any grilled chicken salads (just avoid croutons and high carb dressings), i really love the grilled chicken nuggets from chick-fil-a, i've also had a jr. bacon cheeseburger from wendy's minus the bun and mayo. there are certainly more options out there, the trick is to not eat out too often as a lot of these options are really high in sodium which can cause Water retention. also, try to avoid items high in carbs: potatoes, bread, rice, etc. every place has a website with nutritional info. i'm anal about looking things up ahead of time and making choices based on the items highest in Protein and lowest in carbs. i stay under 20g of carbs per day. i'm sure you could do more, but my body has issues processing carbs and that slows down my loss, so i just try to avoid them at all cost.

hope this helps!

I ate at Chick Fil A for the first time ever tonight. I had the children's meal of 4 grilled chicken bites with a fruit cup and a low fat milk. It was very good.

Wendy's chilli

Grilled chicken nuggets at Chic Fil a

Grilled chicken strips at jack in the box

Insides of a chicken fajita pita at jack in the box

Grilled chicken snack wrap insides at McDonald's

Pintos and cheese at Taco Bell

Insides of grilled fish taco at Green Burrito (these are combined with Carls Jr here in CA a lot)

Protein style burger at In a Out

Almost all fast food places have somethjng with grilled chicken--sandwich, wrap, taco, salad--just eat the chicken first then the veggies hold the bread.< /p>

Chipotle is awesome! They will actually sell you just a side of chicken, sofritas or meat in a little plastic cup! Or get a bowl no rice (I get no Beans also and add fajita veggies) and have a slew of meals out of the leftovers.

Panda Express has a new chicken and kale dish I love while my kids are eating their new orange chicken with bacon.

Healthy options are everywhere. Just don't be afraid to ask for what you need.

Great wonderful suggestions I asked just so I can know what's okay to eat when I'm out and about or decide to treat myself with a snack
