The Unofficial Guide to Fast Food
THE NUTRITION SECTION'S UNOFFICIAL GUIDE TO FAST FOOD
When you’re out with your friends and stop at a fast food joint, the options are overwhelming. It’s hard to choose what to eat in the spur of the moment as fast food is notorious for being able to hide calories in some of the most innocent looking choices on the menu. Though “healthy fast food” sounds like an oxymoron, some places can help you stay clean if you choose the right foods. Here’s list of common fast food places and what healthy choices are available on their menus.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
#Stay away from “meals” which include fries and a drink. Although they may seem like a deal, put this into perspective
1 Medium Serving of fries – Roughly 380 calories, 20g of fat, and 47g of carbohydrates
1 Medium Coke – 210 calories, 58g of carbohydrates
#When it comes to drinks, try the water or the diet sodas.
#Order your foods without the fatty condiments like mayonnaise, cheese, sour cream, “special sauces”, tartar sauce, bacon (etc.). Especially watch salad dressings and make sure to order low-fat or reduced calorie dressings (and vinaigrettes instead of creamy dressings)., these just add extra calories from unwanted fat.
Example: A seemingly healthy salad at Wendy’s could pack on 260 more calories with Blue Cheese or Thousand Island Dressing.
#If it sounds unhealthy, it probably is. Double triple stacker bacon ranch double cheese burgers… you get the point. If you want a burger then order it in the smallest size.
#Grilled over crispy will always save you calories. This one’s pretty obvious. For example, a premium grilled chicken sandwich at McDonald’s over a premium crispy chicken will save you at least 80 calories (mostly from fat). This also means stay away from the chicken nuggets (wasn’t there a thread in the nutrition section about this before?).
#Hold the dessert. Fast food desserts can pile in more than a thousand calories in those triple thick shakes. If you want to try a lighter dessert go for maybe a small kiddy cone or a reduced fat frozen yogurt.
#Always do your research on the restaurants. Make sure you know what’s in it before getting it. Fast food joints aren’t made to be healthy, so it’s your responsibility to choose what’s healthy. Don’t be a stranger to the menu and know what you’re going to order beforehand.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I compiled this list of common fast food restaurants and their top picks- at least in my opinion after I looked through the menus and nutritional information. If you want to see one of your favorite restaurants up here that I haven’t posted, you can ask and I’ll add it on for you.

Subway Recommendations
Best Lunch/Dinner Choices
-Any of the Sandwiches in the “6 Grams of Fat or Less” Group (Ham, Oven Roasted Chicken Breast, Roast Beef, Club, Sweet Onion Teriyaki, Turkey Breast, Turkey Breast & Ham, Veggie Delite
*Note: Pile on the veggies, but leave out the extra sauces and condiments (like mayo and cheese). You can always use a wrap instead of bread (which will only save around 10 calories) but wheat bread isn’t a bad choice (although it is not whole wheat bread).
-Salads: I recommend any of the salads on the menu
*Note: Use Fat Free Italian Salad Dressing: 35 calories, 0g fat, 7g fat, 1g protein
Taco Bell Recommendations
Best Lunch/Dinner Choices
*Note: For Taco Bell, I recommend anything that is prepared “Fresco Style” ,fresh Fiesta Salsa substitutes for cheese and sauce in normal recipes. Taco Bell has many good choices (especially when prepared fresco style), if I were to type them out then it would probably take forever. Here are some of the better options however.
-Chicken Fiesta Burrito (prepared Fresco Style): 350 calories, 9g fat, 49g carbs, 16g protein

-One Ranchero Soft Chicken Taco (prepared Fresco Style): 170 calories, 4g fat, 22g carbs, 12g protein
*Note: if you want a crunchy shell, it will save you 20 calories a taco
Best Breakfast Choices
-Country Style Breakfast Burrito: 270 calories, 14g fat, 26g carbs, 8g protein
-Fiesta Breakfast Burrito: 280 calories, 16g fat, 25g carbs, 9g protein
Wendy’s Recommendations
Best Lunch/Dinner Choices

*Note: Don’t add the croutons and don’t use the provided salad dressing
-Mandarin Chicken Salad: 170 calories, 2g fat, 18g carbs, 23g protein
*Note: Don’t add crispy noodles, you can add roasted almonds if you want (130 more calories), and don’t use the provided salad dressing.
-Salad Dressings: I suggest Fat Free Ranch, Reduced Fat Creamy Ranch, Low Fat Honey Mustard, or Italian Vinaigrette
-Ultimate Grill Chicken Sandwich: 370 calories, 8g fat, 44g carbs, 33g protein
Best Snack Choices
-Low Fat Strawberry Flavored Yogurt: 140 calories, 10g fat, 27g carbs, 6g protein

The Nutrition Section's Unofficial Guide to Dining Out
Since I couldn't fit this into my first post, I'll just make a second post right here for the requested Dining Out "general" tips.
THE NUTRITION SECTION'S UNOFFICIAL GUIDE TO GENERAL DINING OUT
No matter the occasion, dining out at a restaurant is a big part of our lives. Restaurants meals sneak up on us out of nowhere! All meals in general can hide their hundreds of extra calories in butter, sides, sauces, (etc.). Just looking at a menu gives the possibility of crash and burn. Here’s what I can do to help.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
*Warning: Don’t let your eyes wander to the dessert section! I have yet to find a healthy dessert on a restaurant menu. These are packed with high fat and high sugar.
*Note: Don’t be afraid to ask the waiter to change an entree by cutting out the fat or having the sauce on the side. Also don’t be afraid to ask if you’re confused about a special item on the menu.
*Note: It’s not a bad idea to pack your meal if you can’t finish it (and store it in the fridge when you get home). Don’t be afraid to order from the kid’s menu either- they usually have smaller portions.
Key Words:
Steamed
Garden fresh
Broiled
Baked
Roasted
Poached
Lightly sauteed or stir-fried
Italian Food:
-Hold the bread sticks.
*Note: 1 Bread Stick: 140 calories, 1.5g fat, 26g carbs, 5g protein
-Tomato based sauces will always be healthier than the creamy sauces.
-Order whole wheat noodles if it’s possible.
-Italian food can sneak calories in on their breaded chickens and in their cheeses. Just having the word “stuffed” in any dish will add hundreds of more calories
Key Words:
Affogato (steamed or poached)
Marinara, pizzaida, pomodoro (tomato-based sauce)
Primavera (spring style, fresh veggies and herbs)
Fresco (fresh)
Best Lunch/Dinner Choices (Olive Garden)
*Note: Olive Garden provides a “Garden Fare” choice.
-Minstrone Soup (per bowl): 164 calories, 1g fat, 18g carbs, 5g protein
-Herb Grilled Salmon: (incomplete nutrition facts) 18g carbs
-Chicken Giardino (Lunch Entree): 408 calories, 12g fat, 40g carbs, 26g protein
*Note: the dinner entree for chicken giardino: adds around 150 more calories
Mexican Food:
-Always opt for chicken instead of ground beef in meals like tacos (etc.).
-Watch out for cheese heavy dishes. Just the cheese itself in the wraps (etc.). will add a couple hundred calories.
*Note: Replace these heavy condiments with salsa or try some hot sauce. These will add tons of flavor and freshness.
-Also watch out for sour cream, and go easy on the guacamole.
-Add vegetables into things like tacos and burritos whenever possible.
*Warning: Chipotle, chipotle, chipotle. Though it may be delicious, do you really know what you’re eating?
Calculate it here:
http://www.chipotlefan.com/index.php...ion_calculator
Best Lunch/Dinner Choices (Chipotle)
-Try something like a burrito bowl without cheese, rice, or sour cream (roughly 369 calories)
Best Lunch/Dinner Choices (General)
Since there are so many different Mexican food chains, I decided to make a general meal that may be a better choice next time you go out.
-Chicken Fajitas without Sour Cream, Guacamole, or Cheese
Steakhouse Food:
*Note: Mmm-m, isn’t it just so tempting to reach out for one of those House Specialty burgers (1000+ calories), or a huge rack of ribs? It’s better not to.
Key Words:
Baked, steamed
Blackened, grilled
Broiled, charbroiled
California-Style
Roasted, rotisserie
Brochette (meat, fish, poultry or veggies on a skewer)
Best Lunch/Dinner Choices
-Grilled Chicken Entrees with a Side of Vegetables
*Note: Don’t order fries as a side, and make sure the vegetables are cooked without added butter and oil
-Grilled Fish Entrees with Side of Vegetables
-Baked Potato without the sour cream and cheese
*Note: You can try salsa as a topping instead
-A “House” Chicken Salad with low-fat dressing ordered on the side
*Note: Make sure the main ingredients are vegetables and chicken
(Example: TGI Friday’s Barbecue Jack Chicken: 500 calories, 10g fat)
Indian Food: (I don’t know much about these places unfortunately)
*Warning: Avoid foods with the words Malai and Makhani, meaning cream and butter
-Chicken tikka entrees (grilled)
-Whole Wheat Roti (a smaller version of the naan)
Chinese Food:
*Warning: Make sure the restaurant doesn’t use MSG in their foods
Key Words:
Braised
Roasted
Simmered
Steamed
-Moo Goo Gai Pan
-Steamed Tofu and Veggies or Steamed Veggies and Chicken with Egg Drop Soup, or Steamed Rice.
And of course…
Breakfast Diners
-Egg white or Egg Substitute Vegetable Omelet (No Cheese), served with a piece of fruit or with Whole Wheat Toast.
*Note: Ask for toast plain and then you can spread fruit preserves on it later
-Plain oatmeal with fruit and scrambled egg whites or egg substitute.

The Nutrition Section's Unofficial Guide to Ice Cream Shops
EXTRA:THE NUTRITION SECTION'S UNOFFICIAL GUIDE TO ICE CREAM SHOPS
Since summer is coming along, you’re probably going to end up in an ice cream joint at one time or another. Whether it’s Dairy Queen, or Cold Stone, everything looks good on a hot summer day. Here are a few choices that you can make (while still not sabotaging your diet!) . (I tried to choose the least calorie and fat dense out of a variety of types of choices depending on what your tastes are- each list is organized in increasing calorie content)
GENERAL GUIDELINES
#Order ice cream in the smallest serving possible, and in a bowl to leave out extra calories from the cones and waffle bowls
#Stay away from the heavy shakes and malts (those can add up to 1000+ calories!)
#If you can get something of the “Low Fat, Frozen Yogurt” type, it’ll probably save you a ton of calories without sacrificing too much taste. Also, Italian shaved ices and sorbets are low in fat and a good choice in a hurry
#Toppings, toppings, toppings. If you want some then make sure to keep it under moderation. Even a few though will add hundreds of extra calories onto your treat so ice cream that's just ice cream is a good choice
#Moderation is KEY
Cold Stone Creamery
*Note: “Like it” or, Cold Stone’s small size is a safer bet.
-Sinless Sweet Cream: 160 calories, 0g fat, 41g carbs, 7g protein
-Coffee Non-fat Frozen Yogurt: 220 calories, 0g fat, 45g carbs, 10g protein
-Italian Sorbet: 180 calories, 0g fat, 48g carbs, 0g protein
-Low Fat Frozen Yogurt: 230 calories, 1.5g fat, 48g carbs, 11g protein
Dairy Queen
-No Sugar Added Fudge Bar: 50 calories, 0g fat, 13g carbs, 4g protein
*Note: No Sugar Added Vanilla Orange Bar: 60 calories, 0g fat, 17g carbs, 2g protein
-Lemon DQ Freez’r (1/2 cup): 80 calories, 0g fat, 20g carbs, 0g protein
-Vanilla Soft Serve: 140 calories, 4.5g fat, 22g carbs, 3g protein
*Note: Chocolate Soft Serve (1/2 cup): 150 calories, 5g fat, 22g carbs, 4g protein
-DQ Ice-cream Sandwich: 200 calories, 6g fat, 31g carbs, 4g protein
-Chocolate Dilly Bar: 220 calories, 13g fat, 25g carbs, 3g protein
-Strawberry Sundae (Small): 240 calories, 7g fat, 40g carbs, 5g protein
-DQ Caramel and Nut Bar: 260 calories, 13g fat, 32g carbs, 5g protein
If you feel like indulging a little (like a blizzard), then this is a “safer” bet however still not light on the sugar at all.
-Heath Blizzard (Small): 470 calories, 10g fat, 85g carbs, 11g protein
Baskin Robbins
*Note: Most of Baskin Robbin’s Ice-cream will add up to around 200-300 calories per one scoop (1/2 cup), which isn’t too bad. I wouldn’t go past that.
-1 Scoop Pineapple Coconut No Sugar added Low Fat: 120 calories, 2g fat, 27g carbs, 5g protein
-1 Scoop Caramel Turtle No Sugar added Low Fat: 160 calories, 4g fat, 37g carbs, 5g protein
Ben & Jerry’s
-Strawberry Kiwi Sorbet (1/2 Cup): 110 calories, 0g fat, 27g carbs, 0g protein
-No Fat Frozen Yogurts (1/2 Cup): 120 calories, 0g fat, 25g carbs, 4g protein
-Cherry Garcia Frozen Yogurt (1/2 Cup): 140 calories, 2.5g fat, 27g carbs, 4g protein

too expensive and not enough protein. get 4 double cheeseburgers, take the buns off two of them, and make 2 quadruple burgers. 4 dollars and 100 grams of protein = profit

Hey you should ADD Chick-Fil-
(A None of Chick-fil-A's sandwiches break the 500-calorie barrier, a rare feat in the fast food world so no sandwich would KILL your days calories but the best choice is grilled)
Beware of: The wraps, the BBQ sauce, Mayo, stick to ketchup, or the 60-calorie packs of Honey roasted BBQ)
Eat: The Grilled chicken Sandwich on wheat bread (Order 2 and take the buns off also)
Calories 270
Fat 3.5 g
Saturated Fat 1 g
Sodium 940 mg
Total Carbohydrates 33g
Protein 28.0g
Also eat the Southwest grilled chicken Salad:
Calories 360
Fat 8 g
Saturated Fat 3.5 g
Sodium 1,170 mg
Protein:15G
Fiber 5G

Eating out is too expensive. usually 10 bucks no matter how you cut it. Cheapest meal is Subway 18" subs for about 9 bucks.

I'd like to add a tip for Burger King that I did not see. You can buy grilled chicken pouches. It's just cut up grilled chicken. I usually buy one or two and a side salad with a diet soda.
If I eat out at Burger King, this is what I order

Hey this is helpful ****
but we put a bad face on fast food. fast food has so many calories and nutrients of all kinds that it keeps you full for a long time, as long as you do it in moderation. Fries and a drink are a death trap, just the burger will do you fine, trust me.

Great article, nothin beats a good well balanced diet, but truly honestly who can do that 100% of the time ? I work 2 jobs and live a very active life, its almost impossible to avoid the occasional drive through. This article has helped be make some better choices when i give in to modern downfalls. Thank god for nutritional supplements too !

Wonderful stuff
This might help as well. This site has been up and running a long time and you can find just about anything you want.
It won't let me post link. Go to Dotti's weight loss zone.com, at the top click restaurants.

I like ice cream very much.......
Your informations are really good!!!!!!!!!
Ice cream or ice-cream is a frozen dessert usually made from dairy products, such as milk and cream, combined with fruits or other ingredients. Most varieties contain sugar, although some are made with other sweeteners.

chinese food can be good
the place where i live has no MSG in their food/cooks with vegetable oil, and has an option to steam your chicken and brocolli and they give you a little cup with soy sauce if you want to add it
