Whats your favorite?

Chipotle - Awesome veggie/bean salads. You can get the estimated calories through www.chipotlefan.com

It's hardly novel but the Subway veggie salad is huge and is just SIXTY calories! Skip the cheese and choose vinegar only (not oil/vinegar) for your dressing.

Chick-fil-a....yum....fruit cups, grilled chicken sandwiches, low cal soups...it's all good

wow sounds good....thanks all!

I like Subway because I can control what and how much vegetables I get, how much meat, what condiments, and so on. And it's fresh and made right in front of you. Also, some Subways have this awesome vegetarian patty that's really good.

Jay - veg patty!? I've never seen that at subway but I have had a veg sub at subway but I'm not a big fan of their bread. Subway also has salads.

I like Wendy's....the big salads...the chicken grill...the baked potatoe....the chili...yum!

I liked the grilled chicken Sw Salad at McDonald's 420 w dressing (I usually use 1/2 the packet which saves 50 calories)

and anything off the fresco menu at Taco bell - I usually get the chicken soft taco 170 calories

nelie, it's different from the veggie delight, which is just vegetables. It's a vegetable pattie--Subway here in Florida has them--at least, I've seen them in 3 different stores. Ask at the counter if they have the veggie pattie. I don't see it on the website, alas.

Edited to Add: They list the veggie pattie on the U.K. website, so maybe it is available in different areas.

I LOVE Subway! I've never heard of the veggie patty either.? wow!
p.s. nicki rose98 LOVE your profile picture! Jasper is the cutest one though!LOL!

the subway veggie patty is like a veggie burger.. it's pretty good, but I think it's a little salty, personally. And i'm from Ohio so they ahve 'em up here...

Carl's Jr (Hardy's in other parts of the country) has a grilled bbq chicken sandwich that isn't too caloric. I also like their grilled chicken salads. If you can find one that is shared with a Green Burrito, then you can get salsa to use instead of dressing.

I only eat fast food when we are traveling and there are no other options. Besides Carl's, we will stop at Subway or Quiznos willing. Most other fast food joints we avoid, although a few of them have lower calorie options.

Oh, and I love IN-N-OUT, but there is nothing diet friendly about going there. Good thing the closest one is a whole days drive away!

i don't know, if i'm craving fast food i can usually get something decent wherever i want (THANK YOU 'Eat This, Not That!') but I love the salad at Chick Fil A, and the Jr. Whopper at Burger King, and the chili at Wendys, and the fresco menu at Taco Bell... Just depends on what you're in the mood for!

But if you're a fast food junkie or always eating out for whatever reason- I REALLY suggest that book!

Wendy's is pretty good when it comes to fast food.

I can find a good "low cal but yummy" item at most fast food places so I never really have an issue :) I recommend "Eat This, Not That!" as well, its a great book!

Actually, In-N-Out doesn't have to be that bad. If you have them sub mustard and ketchup for their spread, a regular hamburger from In and Out is 310 calories. You can also have them serve it "protein style" which replaces the bun with lettuce and drops the calories to 240. It's still high in fat--what do you want, it is fast food after all--but as an occasional treat, it's not that bad. If you want to really splurge and get a cheeseburger, that adds 90 calories, still not so bad.

My favorite fast food is Panera. I usually find that half a sandwich is plenty and there are lots of choices that I can make work. I'm also a fan of Subway.

For a quick treat, I love the fruit and yogurt parfaits from McDonalds.

I haven't had occasion to try them yet, but I'm also excited about oatmeal from Starbucks and steel-cut oatmeal at Jamba Juice (topped with bananas, even, :drool:). I can't believe no one thought of doing this sooner.

My favorite is Panera as well. It's so nice because they have every item on their website with all the calories and nutritional information/ingredients. So it's easier to plan ahead if someone says they wanna eat out for lunch hehe. Plus their broccoli cheese soup and chicken salad sandwich are soooooo good.

One thing that makes me sad is that their mango smoothie is so yummy, but like, 350 calories : (. I can't possibly eat it knowing that now. Maybe it's sometimes nicer to be oblivious haha.

I like panera as well. I can get half a veggie soup or half a black bean soup and half a veggie sandwich no cheese. Only thing is Panera has messed up my half sandwich by putting cheese in it more than once which makes me not trust them and its feta so its not like I can dig it out very well.

McDonald's Grilled chicken ranch salad. Yum

Baja Fresh and Rubios :-)

When I crave fast food...I love the sweet onion chicken teriyaki subs from subway. Yum!

I was going to mention the In-N-Out Burger as well they will serve it without bun , lettuce replaces the bun. If I find myself somewhere where I have to have a hamburger I ditch the bun, if it is too hard to eat that way just keep the bottom half.

Oh Em Gee now I'm CRAVING chipotle. That might have to be our "date" dinner this weekend hahaha
