Fast Food Approved!








Jack in the Box's Grilled Chicken Strips
I'm not going to lie — it's hard to find low calorie items on the Jack in the Box menu. While it may not offer up fries and a milkshake, the 4-piece Grilled Chicken Strips give a good dose of protein for 250 calories. If you add the Teriyaki sauce, it's another 60 calories so I suggest light dips.
McDonald's Hamburger
When you hit up the golden arches, go with the classic and order up the McDonald's hamburger. The simple sandwich has 250 calories. If you add cheese and mayo, look out because it will pack on more calories.
Taco Bell's Fresco Ranchero Chicken Soft Taco
Run for the border with Taco Bell's Fresco Ranchero Chicken Soft Taco. The bean filled cheesy options may tempt you but this little soft taco looks delightful and only has 170 calories. That's almost worth ordering two!
Subway's Turkey Sandwich
If it's good enough for Jared, it's good enough for you. Subway's 6-inch turkey breast sandwich has 280 calories. That includes 9-grain wheat bread, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, green peppers, and cucumbers. Add a bit of mustard or vinegar for flavor but stay away from the mayo or oil.
Burger King's Tendergrill Chicken Salad
The salad reigns supreme at the royal fast food chain. Order up Burger King's Tendergrill Chicken Salad for a 270-calorie meal. That number includes fresh lettuce, sliced tomatoes, baby carrots, three cheeses, a little pouch of pieces of hot chicken, and one ounce of Ken's Light Italian Dressing. If you can find a lemon or vinegar to dress the salad, you can save yourself 60 more calories.
