Hello Meatballs,
As you all know I am attempting to get healthy and loose weight. I have been doing this most unsuccessfully due to fast food and other such unhealthy options. So, in this post I will talk about some of the helathier and low calorie options at some of the nations most visited fast food chains.
First, let me talk about Wendy's. Take it from me, you really need to watch it as Wendy's. The crispy chicken club, fish fillet and the 10 piece chicken nuggets all have 460 calories in them and that us without the fries and drink that usually accopany the lunch combos served. The burgers are no better, they also have between 350-480 calories a piece as well. So what can you eat at wendy's that is not claorie laiden? Many of the salads also have over 500 calories, however the wraps only have about 260 calories. Also, the baked potato only has about 300 calories and the large chilli only has about 250 calories. So one of these things is what I would go with.
McDonalds burgers are not much better, the Big Mac tops out the burger list with a wopping 540 calories and the double quarter pounder with cheese has over 700 calories. The salads range from 140 calories to over 400 calories. The breakfast sandwitches that people really like are not much better calorie wise, so I would stay away from those all together.
Chick-fil-a is another fast food chain I would like to consider. The chgargrilled chicken sandwitch only has 260 calories, so this would be a great selection for one watching their weight. The sandwitches range from that one being the lowest and the chicken classic sandwitch topping at 430. The wraps are all high in calories but the salds are very low, usually around 200 calories.
The last chain I will look at is Burger King. check out this link for Burger King:

I was impressed with Burger King because this was the only chain that had a sepcial page for people that are watching their weight. I will let you all check this out for yourself.
Happy Fast Food Eating!!
