What Are Your Fast Food Faves?

[Alex Brecher 10,516]

Thanks for all of these great ideas! Thanks also to those of you who added the nutrition stats, too. I forgot to ask about those, but it is so helpful to see them posted here.

@@VSGAnn2014, I agree that McDonald’s is an easy choice. You always know what will be on the menu, so it’s very easy to plan ahead. I also like that you can actually get fruit there now: apple slices and tangerines.

@@OutsideMatchInside, thanks for the tip on Chick-Fil-A. I hadn’t realized they had those grilled nuggets – what a great find! They have some nice sides, too: chicken with some fruit and a salad can make a very satisfying and healthy meal.

@@erp, those are some good ideas. The Chipotle taco without cheese or sour cream plus lettuce and salsa has 230 calories, plus the taco shells. Each one has 70-80 calories, so stick with one and you’re right – you should be good to go! The El Pollo Loco double chicken salad is a good call. I just noticed that the Classic Chicken Salad has even fewer calories – 27.

Thanks to everyone for the tips. It really helps to know what to order where.

Wendy's Chili, Chic Fil A chicken tortilla Soup. Also on occasion I get the yogurt parfair at McDonald's.. can't eat burgers or fries.

Wendys chili- small with added onions and hot sauce

McDonalds grilled chicken ranch snack wrap, I basically peel 80% of the tortilla away and use just enough to hold the dang thing up and eat it

Taco Bell, hard shell taco,lay it on it's side and break off one side of the shell, again just use the one side to hold it up

pizza- any THIN crust pizza with ham, mushroom, onion (1 slice or 2 squares, depending on size)

Long John Silver- baked fish meal with corn or green Beans (eat about 1/3 of it, take the rest home)

local soup/sandwich shop- small Soup

there are a lot of things that i've eaten in the last year (answering to this thread makes me VERY conscious of them) that aren't good choices at all: 1/4 subway sandwich-most bun peeled off, but still; 1/2 bagel with cream cheese, chicken tenders; All of these are really bad choices for me. trying hard to get back to a good bariatric program
