Being on the "go," we don't always have the time to eat healthy. Sometimes we have to resort to pulling up to the drive-thru and asking for the *gasp* burger and fries. Not anymore my friends! Shape magazine has devised a list of not-so-bad items on the fast food menu that won't make us feel like we just drank a bucket of grease.
Burger King's motto is "Have it your way!" OK, how about a tasty chicken sandwich that isn't drowning in calories? Problem solved. Burger King's Chicken Whopper Sandwich on a small bun without mayo, saves you about 390 calories compared to the Original Whopper burger with cheese. Also, fast food chains are getting smart about giving consumers choices. That's why Shape magazine recommends ordering a side salad with your chicken sandwich instead of French fries.
The red-haired girl with pig-tails doesn't have to taunt you anymore. Now, at Wendy's you can eat a healthy meal on the go with their expanded menu at the drive-thru. Wendy's has a great way that allows you to mix and match your menu selections, one of the healthy alternatives to an old fashioned hamburger is Wendy's Mandarin Chicken Salad with a side of a baked potato. Compared to the other salads that Wendy's has, you would be saving 110 calories compared to the Homestyle Chicken Strips Salad. If you order the Mandarin Chicken Salad with low-fat honey mustard dressing, skip the crispy noodles and add in the plain baked potato for some more substance, you are looking at a total of 570 calories. Not to shabby.
If you're not a "salad" person, try these suggestions out. The Ultimate Chicken Grill Sandwich is a better alternative compared to the Homestyle Chicken Fillet and much better than an old fashioned hamburger. The Ultimate Chicken Grill is topped with hearty veggies and is served on a hard roll. Before they ask you if you want fries with that, order a side salad with fat-free dressing for a healthy substitute. If you need a quick snack to hold you over, a small Chili with some crackers is only 375 calories and it will fill you up until your next meal.
