Favorite Band Friendly Fast Food Go To

[paracelsus51 0]

We do not have pollo loco or Captain D's here. We had Taco Bueno, but they shuttered up and disapeared overnight. Fortunately I've pretty much given up french fries. I want to get back to sweet potatoes though.

Anyone tried Popeyes, Taco Johns, or Dairy Queen? I know a buffet is not worth it anymore. Can you order a footlong minus the bread?

I don't have a problem with sweet potaotes. I haven't tried the sweet potato fries though. I saw them on a menu and wanted to try them, but I was afraid they would get stuck.

I really enjoy Wendy's small Chili, like said earlier high Protein & low fat. I like a fruit n yogurt parfait from McDonald's but recently found out I can eat an ice cream cone from there for less calories if I add the granola! Steak n Shake's chili is yumo! Not so healthy though!

In my area the band-friendly restaurant I frequent is The salad Bowl, they also have a band-friendly meal delivery service called Bandtastic Meals that I use at work for my lunch.< /p>

I cannot eat chicken breast as it just gets stuck. I am a fish fan now and also love my salmon. I find omelettes are really great and I had one from the chinese the other day. It did me two meals. Soft tortillas give me difficulties but I will have to try the hard shells. I may be able to eat them. I find when I go out to lunch or dinner at a resturant, I am leaving 3/4s of my meal behind. I am starting to only buy things I can eat if they are entree size.

I am a total fish lover, every pregnancy I craved Salmon like crazy. If you have heard of Bandtastic Meals, they have a great Mahi Mahi and an even better baked Salmon. I totally understand the portion sizes in restaurant dilemma, i think it is a huge reason why people overeat. I know growing up my parents always told me eat everything on your plate and now i an adult I catch myself saying that to my kids or trying to eat everything on my plate even when I obviously full. Hope this helps.

I take home what I can't eat and don't feel ashamed. I paid for it.

Wendy's has a good chilli that is very filling and pretty darned healthy too. When I am feeling really ambitious I make my own chili with that soy bean burger stuff and add lots of my favorite veggies. I freeze some of it and when I feel tired and don't want to cook, it is only a few minutes from freezer to microwave. That is one of Dr Oz's suggestions, too, if any of you watch him. He says to always be prepared! I think he is awesome and am trying to incorporate his ideas into my way of eating, such as always having something healthy on hand.

Wendy's Chili or a single without the bun.

Taco Bell's pintos and cheese was sublime when I first went back to fast food. It's still pretty awesome.

Mc D's burgers are too tough and I struggle with chicken, period.

Bandtastic recently sent samples to my surgeon's office, and his staff gave it RAVE reviews. You can order frozen meals from them online

This is a good thread. Thanks for the info. I haven't been banded yet but I don't eat fast food and I don't eat beef or pork but I am on the road for work at least 1 week per month!

If you have a Jimmy John's near you, you can do an "unwich" which is any of their sandwiches wrapped in lettuce rather than bread. I know some people have trouble with lettuce but it might be worth a try for others.

The pintos and cheese might be a good solution for me when I can't stop to eat a salad. I have only been to Taco Bell once in my life and ended up with a meatless taco. That might be another option.

long john silvers has tilapia that is grilled. i also eat kfc grilled chicken breast. when we were on the road, I had an egg mcmuffin minus the top muffin with the cheese. not the best of options, with the white flour, but it worked. I can't eat cheese, either.
