clean fast food

[acecombact1]

I know most of us think fast food is evil. But there is few items in ever food chain that may be conisedred decent. Example Carl's Jr charbroild chicken club snadiwich. iTs 39g or protein and 10g of carbs and 6g of fat. Sandwich come without bread. Any one knows of any good food you can find in fast food place, please share!

dont trust any food that you don't know exactly what's in them. i consider eggs and egg whites at a diner a cheat meal. you don't know the amount of sodium being used, if there is any trans fat, the type of flour being used and the cooking oil

Sandwich come without bread.

kind of goes against the whole definition of a sandwich then.

and i personally think that clean fast food is an oxymoron.

does any one have a Chipotle in their state? It is amazing, and it is REAL food. they make it infront of you. i dunno if you would call it fast food, but it takes like 2 min to get the food.

Only problem with Chipotle is that it's so damn calorie-dense. First of all you go to Chipotle for the burritos, so don't even think about getting a salad or something else. That said, the burritos are 1000+ calories with a lot of it being simple carbs: the tortilla, rice, etc. It's a good, fulfilling meal but the not the most diet-friendly nor most economically place around.

If you're going to eat fast food, just know that it's not good for you. Salads at fast-food places are a waste of time in my opinion. I think you might as well eat a cold chicken breast you cooked and brought with you than spend money on a mcdonald's salad. Just my thoughts.

Subway really isn't that bad... the worst part about it is the bread, it is processed, but in terms of macro ratios and calories, it's decent stuff.

LOL... i think that people are wasting money when they get anything but a burito at chipotle. It is the BEST burito i have ever had. They are AMAZING

Windeys salad= ceaser salad + girilled chicken breast........how bad is that!

I agree fast food sucks, but if you are bussy all time. And dont have to to go home and cook, you dont have much of an option.

[Xantrael]

Depends man, some food-court salads can have 700+ calories. No joke. Depends on quantity of cheese, dressings, etc. They've ruined salad, one may have thought it couldn't be done, but it has been done, good friend, it has been done. Nothing is "safe" these days, not with the values of our society and the corporations praying on the ignorance of individuals who are trying to eat healthily.

"Well that tasted great, AND it was salad, so it must be healthy, I'll have to come back here and get that again"

A lot of places will give nutrition facts either online, or at the actual place, so you can probably check

Sadly, the buns they use at McD's are not whole wheat. They're still enriched, so it's no better than white bread.

Same thing goes for Subway. They have wheat bread, but it's not whole wheat. So it really doesn't matter if you get white or wheat there.

For those who are talking about Chipotle, while they do make the best damn fast food burritos out there, they are by no means healthy :-P They have nutrition facts on their site now if you wish to look for yourself. A Chipotle burrito should definitely be considered a cheat meal.

One of my favorites is Fazoli's. http://www.fazolis.com
They let you make your own pasta, have a whole wheat option, and don't use High Fructose Corn Syrup in their sauce. I'll eat there every once in a while.

[AngelOfMusic]

what about subway wraps?

they are supposedly whole wheat/ low carb thats what i get when i go...but i rarely eat there

[Xantrael]

I don't think they're whole wheat. I think they might be "wheat", but "wheat" does not mean "clean". I used to get tuna wraps there, until I realized it was 5 parts mayo to 1 part tuna. The turkey breast wrap would be good though, just very low calorie

Chipotle steak burritos are the best!!!!! I'm using them right now to up my calories (bulking phase).



MMMMMM!!!

And that is the reason you only deadlift 315 pounds.

Your overanalyzing and keeping **** too clean, this is why people never gain on clean bulk diets. They get the sense they HAVE to eat clean, but that isn't the real equation behind clean bulking.

[jando]

i havent updated my stats in a long time. i dont lift for strength, i body build and im really not looking to get that much bigger. i gained 45lbs on my bulk and im happy.

[CrackAddictX03]

Gyros. I gots 1-2 a week and bodyfat doesnt change at all. Plennny of protein there tho from the looks of it. I'd guesstimate about 600-650 calories a gyro. Not much.

and the lifts are doing good so i got no complaints heh.

Agreed. There should be a compromise between eating clean and living as a normal human being. If I am on a date, I'm not going to be a pain in the ass by just ordering diet coke and whipping out my pre-packaged chicken breast in a restaurant. I will just order a lean cut of meat, a side salad, and figure it into my macros.

99% positive they are whole wheat - they contain like 6g fiber a wrap.

exact same **** here, and in response to this thread, I never eat this stuff on the go, it is ONLY if I'm with people and they choose to eat there, I then try to order the best sensible meal on the menu and just put it in my macros for the day. Instead of 6 meals for the day, I'll make it 5. I'm not gonna sit there and be a dick and not eat, etc. Its pretty easy and won't effect your gains if you just figure it in to your daily calories if you are getting some kina grilled chicken breast shiznit and not french fries and a loaded burger with mayo or something.

Fast food is for convenience.
Convenience does not enter bodybuilding.

i agree--as long as you know ahead of time that you will be eating out you can plan that meal into your day.

[hawkjl82]

I am someone who enjoys fast food and going out to eat but I love working out and keeping a clean diet and everything that goes with that. So, I have one cheat meal per week on either Saturday or Sunday. Usually it's a meal from Wendy's or pizza or something like that along with soda and anything else I feel like having. I have found that it doesn't negatively impact my gains and it keeps me on my diet for the rest of the week. From everything I have read over the years, cheat days are actually encouraged.

[MCconditioner]

Convenience does not enter bodybuilding.

why exactly is that?

[One Man Army]

grilled chicken breast sandwhich found at Chik Fil A. I ate it once and it was good!! I think it has like 25 grams of protein per sandwhich...like 4 grams fat and like 15 grams carbs....really low caloire food.

And that is okay, but when you hit a plateu you'll be stuck for years. And I know bodybuilders don't have to lift heavy, but it is proven if you lift heavy and increase strength you will increase lean muscle mass.

That's why everytime you hit the gym you either get another rep with that weight on an exercise or increase by 5 lbs. and get the same number of reps as last week with that exercise.

It's a reason powerlifters are bigger then bodybuilders.
