Srs? The chicken and cheese quesadillas I make at home have easily twice that. 28g fat and 1.2g sodium? What the heck do they put in those things, salted lard and chicken feet?

27, not 15, grams of protein per chicken quesadilla.

And this surprises you why? It's fast food. They are selling satiety and gratification, not nutrition and well-being.

This......better off buying your own food and making it at home. If you really want you can buy the quesadillas sauce separate from Taco Bell.Originally Posted by mrh0rnet

LOL at the above post. Yeah, let me tell my friends who suggest Taco Bell that we go to the grocery store and then back to one of our houses to cook together instead.

it's fine, just know that it is that amount of protein and adjust your other meals accordingly.

This. True.Originally Posted by BookMonkey
@FitnessCPA, where did you get 27g? I mean I would expect it, but there's just no way...
EDIT:
•corn/whole wheat tortilla
•handful chicken breast tenderloins
•mozzarella/swiss (or 100 g low sod parmesan=42g protein)
•scoop Greek yogurt (w/ whey, flax?)
•habanero sauce
= protein out the roof.Last edited by iEatChicken; 08-06-2012 at 11:04 AM.

there is almost no chicken in them and the chicken they use is not very meaty and very fatty hence...little protein.Originally Posted by iEatChicken

haha its all good it happens...but honestly man those fast food nutritional table are so inaccurate because every person makes them different. THE PERFECT example of this, in my opinion, is chipotle. The "Serving size" for sour cream for which they have the nutritional info listed online is like 1 or 2 ounces? (totally guessing here), but the huge spoonful that they slab on there is way more than that. I could care less (bulk FTW), but for others, sour cream "on the side" is more convenient.Originally Posted by iEatChicken

A bodybuilder friend of my friend was once so starving for protein after a workout that when ordering a quesadilla from Taco Bell....he asked the the worker to bust a nut it in it. 15 g protein from the dilla + 4 g protein from the busted nut = 19 g protein....he was stoked...4 g closer to his protein macro!

This. Should never trust this source though, user inputs.Originally Posted by iEatChicken
HOWEVER, I promise you the quesadilla I ordered had no more than 5 chunks of chicken and probably 15g protein."The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something. You can do it, as long as you really believe 100 percent." -Arnold Schwarzenegger

And even then they skimp on the nut busting. It's 4gs for every two. It's not like it use to be.Originally Posted by AvsFreak

hahaha! yeah you guys are so funny.... anyways I eat a chicken and cheese queasadia from taco bell like maybe once a month ,and I do a full body workout 3 days a week,but I do not eat any sauce on my queasadia ,I only get chicken and cheese plain ,and its very yummy ,but honestly its probably not that good for you ,so somebody needs to post the nutrition facts of the queasadia here ,and since its probably unhealthy what we need to do is ind a very healthy alternative to making a queasadia like all natural wraps ,tortilla ,and healthy cheese ,and meat ,which if we look into it it should be very easy to find ,and to make.Fasts foods are really never healthy for you
