Healthy (er) Fast Food Options

​KFC Honey BBQ Sandwich
300 calories
6g fat, 1.5g saturated fat

The honey bbq sauce isn’t as bad as you might think.  This is the only full size sandwich on the menu to boast these kind of figures, so dig in.

 

​KFC Lil' Bucket Strawberry Shortcake
200 calories
6g fat, 4g saturated fat

With significantly fewer calories than most other KFC desserts, this is the best option for a small indulgence.

KFC Mashed Potatoes with Gravy
120 calories
4.5g fat, 1g saturated fat

Even when made with milk and butter (some KFCs use these ingredients; others don't), mashed is always better than fried. Don't worry about the gravy; it adds only a few calories and just half a gram of fat.

McDonald's Chicken McNuggets with Sweet 'N Sour Sauce4 pieces

220 calories
10g fat, 2g saturated fat

The sauce is low in calories and sodium, but you only get 4 nuggets.  McDonalds is a dieters nightmare so don’t plan on leaving full and sticking to your diet.

Taco Bell Fresco Style Grilled Steak Soft Taco
170 calories
5g fat, 1.5g saturated fat

Been stuck eating chicken and egg whites for too long??  Have the red meat without as much guilt.

Taco Bell Gordita Nacho Cheese
270 calories
10g fat, 2.5g saturated fat

Normally nacho cheese and dieting are not words you hear together often, at only 270 calories this Gordita is at least worth an honorable mention.

Taco Bell Fresco Style  Chicken Soft Taco

150 calories

3.5g fat, 1.5 saturated fat

Chicken or steak...or both! With these two tacos combined you're still coming in at just over 300 calories and that's a win when it comes to fast food.

​Taco Bell Cinnamon Twists
160 calories
5g fat, 1g saturated fat

At only 160 calories these can be picked up to satiate that stubborn sweet tooth.

​Pizza Hut 12" Fit 'N Delicious Pizza with Diced Chicken, Red Onion, and Green Pepper
2 slices, 340 calories
9g fat, 4g saturated fat

Unfortunately, unless you’re putting chicken on your pizza than the meat is probably bad for you.  Get a great dose of veggies on this pizza.

​Wendy's Ultimate Chicken Grill
360 calories
7g fat, 1.5g saturated fat

Thanks to Honey Mustard Sauce instead of mayo and grilling instead of deep-frying this going to be the best full size sandwich option at Wendy’s.

Wendy's Grilled Chicken Go Wrap

260 calories

10g fat, 3.5 saturated fat

Great option if you're the type that thinks outside the bun.

Wendy's Jr. Frosty
160 calories
4g fat, 2.5g saturated fat

This classic dessert from Wendy’s is actual not terrible for you which makes it the perfect cheat dessert.  It’s the fries that you dip into the Frosty that are packed with calories!
