    This is PRECISELY my go-to meal when I'm stuck out in town at work, etc. Kid's meal with grilled chicken bites, fresh fruit for the side, small sugar-free lemonade. Huzzah!

I hear that Starbucks has a protein Bento Box that is not too bad but I don't know....

:-x staying quiet on the recent Chick Fil A controversy. I think if there is any chance at a convenience store, supermarket, bodega, vegetable market, you can find greek yogurt, cheese stick, muscle milk, even gerber graduates meat sticks..has to be better than any fast food.

Actually the Chick-fil-a Grilled chicken Nuggets Kid's Meal is not healthy, and considered one of the worst kid's meals options out there. http://www.pcrm.org/...-food-kids-meal

Chick-fil-a Chargrilled chicken sandwich = 270 calories, 3g fat, 1,270g sodium

VS

Chick-fil-a Chicken Strips salad = 600 calories, 38g fat, 1,470g sodium

You are better off just buying a plain sandwich, and eating what you want of the chicken patty.

Get the Eat This Not That books - very interesting stuff in there, and some of it is quite shocking, and not at all what you would expect.

That article is wrong. It says "Contains the same amount of cholesterol as a Big Mac." It doesn't.

Child's grilled chicken (4 piece): Big Mac

Calories: 80 550

Cholesterol: 40 mg 75

Sodium: 560 mg 1000

Fat: 1 g 29

Protein: 7 g

The six piece has 65. Still either a boldfaced lie or they "exaggerated" a LOT. I don't count cholesterol anyway. Dietary cholesterol does not equal blood cholesterol. The sodium is high, but I'm not focused on that either for a once in a while thing. The chicken patty would not be all that different.

Ack! Don't do it. Why on earth do they call it a Protein Bento Box. More like a carb, saturated fat box.

This one is very do-able if you throw out the tortilla.
