New Year’s resolutions to slim down don’t mean that you can’t eat fast. The Daily Beast pores over fast-food menus, and uncovers the 20 healthiest options—no salads required.

In trying to find healthier fast food, we looked at the three lowest-calorie menu offerings—excluding salad—at popular national fast-food chains. We then eliminated choices that had more than 35 percent of calories from fat—a government threshold for relative healthiness. The final list was narrowed down with an equal weighting of calories, saturated fat, sodium, and carbohydrates.
The next time a salad isn’t filling enough, and the siren call of the bacon burger isn’t strong enough, these 20 options offer a tad of flexibility.
