On a diet and want to shed some extra weight? Are you in a hurry and driving ? Not to worry, now you can get healthy fast food meals with fewer calories, fats and good amount of proteins and fibers. If you know where to look, that is.
Gone are the days when a healthy menu option meant a boring salad or a tasteless chicken sandwich. Now due to the restaurants cutting out trans fat and loading fresh ingredients, fast food has become healthier and tasty.
Here are some of the healthiest food options listed:
Grilled Chicken Sandwich with a Fruit Cup:
A healthy fast food option if you are driving or in a hurry. The grilled chicken sandwich along with fruit cup contains 400 calories, 3.5 grams fat (8% calories from fat), 1 g saturated fat, 0 g trans fat, 55 mg cholesterol, 1120 mg sodium, 65 g carbohydrate, 6 g fiber, and 30 g protein.
P.S: Make sure your sandwich does not include mayonnaise.
Chicken Teriyaki Bowl:
Even though the presence of fats is very less, this food has high sodium level and plenty of protein and fiber. The nutritional values of Chicken Teriyaki Bowl are 585 calories, 6 g fat (9% calories from fat), 1 g saturated fat (2% calories from saturated fat), 0 g trans fat, 36 mg cholesterol, 1461 mg sodium, 106 g carbohydrate, 4 g fiber, and 25 g protein.
Veggie Burger and Garden Salad:
The list will be incomplete without a vegetarian fast food- so it better to include Veggie Burger and Garden Salad in the list. The veggie burger is a good option if you want to opt for a vegetarian food but make sure you don't include mayonnaise in it. The nutritional value of the Veggie Burger and Garden Salad are 450 calories, 12.5 g fat (25% calories from fat), 4.2 g saturated fat, 0 g trans fat, 10 mg cholesterol, 1320 mg sodium, 52.5 g carbohydrate, 10 g fiber, 26 g protein.
