We have been taught for a long time that fast food is nothing but loads of grease and fat. However, some fast food menu items may not completely ruin your healthy diet. When you find out which fast food has these “healthier” options you might be totally surprised!
The Fast Food Choices That Aren't Actually Bad For You Include:
Chick-fil-A – Grilled Chicken Sandwich
So next time you mysteriously find yourself in Chick-fil-A, try the Grilled Chicken Sandwich. It has only 320 calories, 5 grams of fat, and a pretty satisfying 30 grams of protein to make you feel full. The sodium is a little high at 800 mg, but it's still one of the lowest on the menu.
McDonald's – McChicken Sandwich
While the McChicken sandwich has less sodium than the Chick-fil-A equivalent, it has more fat and less protein. The numbers are 370 calories, 17 grams of fat, 650 mg sodium, and 14 grams of protein.
Subway – Subway Club
The Subway Club is part of the “6 Grams of Fat or less” menu, and actually only has 4.5 grams . It also only has 310 calories and a pretty decent 23 grams of protein. It does have more sodium than most of the other options on the “6 Grams” menu at 840 mg, but that's still far less than almost everything else on the sandwich menu.
Burger king – Tendergrill chicken sandwich without mayo
The Tendergrill chicken sandwich also has 350 calories, only 9 grams of fat, and 26 grams of protein.
Culver's – Beef Pot Roast Sandwich
The Beef Pot Roast has 410 calories, 14 grams of fat, 830 mg of sodium, and 31 grams of protein.
Wendy's – Crispy Chicken sandwich
There are actually two options at Wendy's depending on whether you want less fat or less sodium. If fat is your biggest concern, then you should go with the Grilled Chicken Sandwich: 350 calories, 9 grams of fat, 880 mg of sodium, and 33 grams of protein. But if sodium is your problem, then go with the Crispy Chicken Sandwich: 350 calories, 17 grams of fat, 600 mg sodium, and 15 grams of protein.
Hardee's – Regular Roast Beef Sandwich
For the Regular Roast Beef Sandwich, you get 300 calories, 14 grams of fat, 830 mg of sodium, 5 grams of sugar, and 18 grams of protein. The Charbroiled BBQ Chicken Sandwich offers 340 calories, 4 grams of fat, 1020 mg of sodium, 16 grams of sugar, and 32 grams of protein.
Taco bell – Fresca Shredded Chicken Soft Tacos x2
There are a lot of low calorie options at Taco Bell. Unfortunately, most of them are tiny portions that are loaded with salt. However if you look over to the Fresca menu, you'll find the prize: Fresca soft tacos filled with shredded chicken…times two. One on its own is fairly insignificant, but add them together and you get 240 calories, 7 grams of fat, 940 mg of sodium, and 20 grams of protein—and of course two tacos.
So Go Ahead & Indulge!
Now that you know there are some fast food options that aren't so bad you can feel less guilty about eating it. Have you tried any of these fast food options?
