Hey friends--we've all had colds and been super busy lately so I haven't posted much. Though I have been perusing the board to keep my eye on all of you! Anyhow--a few weekends ago I was out and needed a quick bite--the only place close was Arby's. I got what I thought was the best thing and it went down very badly (and it was way too many cals for the protein)! So, I came home and went through several of the nutritional info they have online for fast food restaurants and came up with what to order at each---. I really only looked at protein and cals, since I don't count carbs ( I just try to go with complex carbs and avoid the rest if I can). So, I thought I would share and find out what you order when you are stuck with fast food. Cathy Starbuck's (not technically fast food)--- this was a revelation, there were BIG differences in what I thought were basic coffees: NF decaf Cafe Misto/Cafe Au Lait Grande 90 cals 9 g protein NF decaf Caffe Latte Grande 160 cals 16g protein (this is more than many protein bars!) Taco Bell tip: order "fresco style" Chicken Burrito Supreme 350 cals, 19g protein Ranchero Chicken Soft Taco 270 cals, 14g protein Tostada 250 cals, 11 protein Pintos & Cheese, 180 cals, 10g protein Subway tip: order with "low carb wrap" (5 net carbs. 14 g protein) other tip: order chicken patty roasted 100 cals, 15g protein Turkey Breast wrap 190 cals, 24 g protein turkey breast and ham sandwich 290 cals, 20 g protein Chili con Carne soup 340 cals, 20g protein McDonald's Bacon Ranch salad with grilled chicken 260 cals, 33 g protein Caeser salad with grilled chicken, 220 cals, 30g protein California Cobb Salad with grilled chicken 280 cals, 35g protein dressing: Newman's Own Cobb dressing: 120 cals, 1 g protein 6 piece chicken nuggest 250 cals, 15g protein chicken selects premium breast strips 380 cals, 23 g protein premium grilled chicken classic sandwich 420 cals, 32 g protein ( I know this is big cals, but I figured I'd lost the bun and mayo and the cals would come down--- I couldn't see how many cals were in a bun alone) hamburger 260 cals, 13g protein 2 scrambled eggs 190 cals, 15g protein Arby's kid's meal Market fresh mini Turkey & cheese sanwich 240 cals, 21 g protein Jr. Roast Beef 270 cals, 16 g protein chicken breat fillet grilled sandwich, 410 cals, 32 protein (again, I'd lose the bread) Burger King BK veggie burger no mayo, 340 cals, 23 g protein 5 piece chicken tenders 210 cals, 12 g protein salads: tendergrill chicken garden salad and caesar salad 230 cals, 32 g protein dressing: Ken's border ranch 110 cals, 2 g protein I think some of the small burgers here weren't bad, but the print was so small I could hardly read it Wendy's everyone says order the Chilli--- I want to check the cals and protein there to know exactly
