Lap Band Friendly Fast Food

I go for the Wendy's plain baked potato three times a week. It only costs $1.06, and contrary to popular belief potatos are actually quite healthy in moderation.

Subway type shops - tuna or chicken salad in a Pasta cup with no bread.

Chipotle - I like the Barbacoa Beef Burrito Bowl with black Beans & hot salsa (no rice) - If you can stretch it into 3 meals like I can when I'm at my "sweet" spot then its around 210 calories per meal with a high Protein / low carb count.

Wendy's - Chili, Refried Beans

I will also order chicken Strips from Wendy's, Kentuky Fried or McD's in a pinch but it's not the best option considering its batter fried.

our local subway only charges .50 a scoop for the tuna....i go get like 3-4 scoops and its awsome..fast ...and mushy!! not yet filled but it works for me....they will add veggies to it for you if you like...i get peppers and onion..yumm...great breath for kissing hubby!!? lol :eyebrows:

In reading the Subway nutrition booklet I discovered the tuna salad was one of the highest in fat sandwiches they have so you might want to be cautious with this. They must make the tuna salad with some seriously high fat mayo!!

I was just looking up nutritional info on the tuna.. they don't have it listed seperately so I could see.. but on a mini-sub it's 320 calories, which I think was the highest calorie mini-sub they have.

It says it's made of tuna, mayo, and cheese.< /p>

Might be the cheese, I didn't realize it had cheese in it!

I'm holding the booklet right here ..says the mini sub includes wheat bread, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, green peppers, pickles, olives and cheese for 320 calories and 18 grams of fat! I know 2 triangles of cheese on any sanwich there adds 40 calories. Looking at the 6 inch which includes all of the same things it says 530 calories and 31 grams of fat!! It has to be the tuna salad making the numbers so high so I would avoid it ..it was my favorite sandwhich there, I was SHOCKED it was so high but I make my own tuna salad now!!
