I am including a few i have heard of myself and i will include them ....any more ???

taco bell..........pintos n cheese

whitts bbq.......smoked ckn legs

bojangles ........grilled ckn bites any more ??? lol!!!

Taco Bell Pintos and Cheese or any burrito. Don't eat the tortilla, just open it up and eat the insides. and use for tortilla for a plate. Also Wendy's chili. Do you have to eat fast food? There are so many yummy things you can do for your brown bag lunch!

no ........i dont have to eat fast food !!! But i dont have an office job.......i do home health and drive in my car 8-10 hrs every day.its not too convenient for me to heat something up in a microwave most of the time and may desire the taste of something hot or warm every once in awhile besides feeling that im grazing all day.

I also carry Ostrim with me in my purse or car just in case. 60-80 calories, tasty, super low fat and a lot of Protein. You can get it at GNC, smoothie King and most health food stores.

Which Ostrim do you like?

I like the natural and Teriyaki. The jerkee is actually a good bit of meat for the number of calories but I think it is a bit dry and tough. The sticks are easier to chew and more moist. If you like spicy then you might like the pepper.

Thanks!!

Try egg cupcakes the lasagna and cheeseburger won ton cupcakes from emilybites.com and theworldaccordingtoeggface.com You make a dozen or so at a time and heat up in microwave before you leave and wrap in foil and you would be surprised how long they stay hot.

There are no good fast food choices. It's fast food garbage really.

That's not true

I know what u mean !!! It gets on my nerves and its always the same people !!!!!!!!!!

I couldn't agree more! I think people for get were all in the same place no one is better than the other

Wow, I don't think she posted asking if she should eat fast food. I love when people have to add their two cents to point out others faults.

I think people are just trying to nicely help and give you good advise, that's what the forums are all about. There is a point where we all can eat any fast food. But is it worth it?

There are no good fast food choices. It's fast food garbage really.

That is not true these days. A lot of fast food places have very healthy selections and are great for us who have been sleeved. You just need to make different choices from the menu than you did before. I don't go to them that iften, cuz I don't work but when I am out and do stop, I always find something great.

Here's a few I've had:

Wendys: chili w/ cheese & sour cream or jr bacon cheeseburger no bun

McDs: grilled snack wrap, no sauce, no wrap

KFC: 1 pc grilled chicken, toss the skin

Chic-Fil-A: 4 pc grilled nugget kids meal with fruit & sf lemonade for later

Arbys: jr roast beef no bun

Subway: 6" sub, eat half

I like to keep some of the jif to go with me and a few wheat crackers, and if I have to eat fast food I ask formal plain grilled chicken sandwich minus the bun or I take off the bun myself and i try to drink iced tea or water...I know I'm not supposed to drink with meals but this is a lifelong habit that I am trying to break !!!! I like Wendy's chili as well just get the small one, and McDonalds will give you just the grilled chicken from the wrap at a discounted price if you ask them We travel every weekend almost as hubby works out of town, so I am still learning, harder however refused to discount without the bread soninpaid regular price and threw away the bread or fed it to birds if their were any around

I love taco bell, and have surgery in 12 days. I'm still trying to imagine myself going through the drive-thru and saying, "I would like ONE taco." Usually it's three.

lol...........better enjoy now!!!!and cokes too.drink up!!! taco bell was the first place i went to when i started puree . i asked for 2 pintos n cheese...lol....i could only eat 1/4 of one and about gagged...it was not what i expected!
