If you were a fan of Super Size Me in the early 2000s, you may have mixed emotions on whether or not you can eat fast food and still be healthy. Fast food typically has a reputation for being high in calories, fat, sodium, and added sugars—but that doesn’t mean you can't find healthier fast-food options as part of a balanced diet. We spoke to dietitians to find out exactly which fast food meals they recommend for your health and which ones can even help contribute to weight loss.
In terms of fast food, specifically, many fast-food menus now offer options that can fit into a weight-loss plan, like grilled items, smaller portions, and meals higher in protein and fiber. Key factors such as portion control, choosing nutrient-dense items, and avoiding calorie-heavy add-ons like sauces and sides make a significant impact.
Ask for condiments and sauces on the side. Condiments and sauces can be very calorie-dense due to high levels of fats from vegetable oils. Asking for your sandwiches without mayo or with a packet of mayo on the side can save 70-100 calories. With these things in mind, read on to learn about 14 of the healthiest fast-food meals for your weight loss goals. Then, check out the 30 Best Foods for Weight Loss. Wendy's Grilled Chicken Ranch Wrap Starbucks Spinach, Feta & Egg White Wrap Panera Tuna Salad Sandwich Arby's Classic Roast Beef SandwichChick-fil-A's Market Salad is a nutritious option that offers a good balance of protein, fiber, and healthy fats.
Subway makes it easy to customize a low-calorie, fast-food option on the go. A 6-inch turkey sub can contain as few as 270 calories if you are prudent with your condiments, and a 6-inch wheat roll will deliver fiber and protein, two nutrients that help keep you full and prevent drops in energy levels as the day goes on.
