Fast food that's good for you
Jan-29-2010

If you must eat fast food here are some choices that will go easy on your waistline:

Wendy's Jr. Cheeseburger


PER SERVING (1 burger): 270 calories, 11g fat, 26g carbs, 1g fiber, 15g protein

This burger is JUST RIGHT in our opinion. Get it with one of Wendy's sensible side dishes, like mandarin oranges or a side salad with light dressing, and you're good to go.


McDonald's Fruit 'n Yogurt Parfait

PER SERVING (1 parfait): 160 calories, 2g fat, 31g carbs, 1g fiber, 4g protein

One of the best fast snacks available from a drive-thru. It's not really meal material, but if you just need something to hold you over 'til lunch or dinner, it's a great choice

Taco Bell Fresco Ranchero Chicken Soft Taco


PER SERVING (1 taco): 170 calories, 4g fat, 22g carbs, 2g fiber, 12g protein

We LOVE Taco Bell's Fresco menu and the fact that you can get almost anything on the whole menu "Fresco-style." These chicken tacos are so low in calories, you can grab a couple for a quickie lunch.
Burger King Tendergrill Chicken Sandwich w/o Mayo

PER SERVING (1 sandwich): 380 calories, 9g fat, 51g carbs, 3g fiber, 25g protein

It's that mayo that'll REALLY get you in trouble. Leave it off, and you've got a terrific grilled chicken 'n veggie sandwich that you don't have to feel bad about swallowing
Starbucks Spinach, Feta, Egg White Wrap


PER SERVING (1 wrap): 280 calories, 9g fat, 35g carbs, 8g fiber, 19g protein

Starbucks may not have a drive-thru window, but who cares? This is our go-to breakfast at the popular java chain. We were heartbroken when it went away, and now that it's back, we want to show our appreciation
Chick-Fil-A Hearty Breast of Chicken Soup

PER SERVING (1 large bowl): 220 calories, 6g fat, 30g carbs, 3g fiber, 12g protein

Think there's NOTHING safe to eat at this house of breaded chicken cutlets? WRONG! Grab a big bowl of soup and fill up. YUM.
Subway 6" Turkey Breast and Black Forest Ham on 9-Grain Wheat


PER SERVING (One 6-inch sub w/o cheese, dressing, or mayo): 300 calories, 4g fat, 47g carbs, 5g fiber, 19g protein

Pair the lean-meat duo with tasty 9-grain wheat bread, load it up with every veggie possible, and dress it with a shake of vinegar and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Maximum flavor with minimum fat and calories!
