Granted, taking into account the sodium content and portion size of these meals, you still shouldn’t be having them every day, but they’re just about as guilt-free as fast food gets!
McDonalds Grilled Chicken Snack Wrap (w/ Honey Mustard or Chipotle BBQ Sauce)
260 calories, 8 grams of fat, and 820 mg of sodium
As lovingly described by McDonalds, these snack wraps consist of “plump and juicy grilled chicken, bathed in the deep heat of chipotle BBQ sauce, held in the tight embrace of a flour tortilla.” You might feel guilty reading its description, but you’ll feel just fine eating it.

280 calories, 9 grams of fat, 1,110 mg sodium
The chicken fajita pita includes warm pita bread filled with grilled chicken pieces, shredded cheddar cheese, lettuce, grilled onions, and tomato.

Carl’s Jr Charbroiled BBQ Chicken Sandwich
390 calories, 7 grams of fat, 1,150 mg sodium
With just under 400 calories, this is the least calorie-conscious item on the list. It includes a charbroiled chicken breast with lettuce, tomato, and a tangy barbeque sauce on a tasty honey wheat bun. This is a good healthier sandwich choice for fast food.

This sandwich includes a tender breast of grilled chicken, marinated in special seasonings and served on a toasted golden wheat bun with dill pickle chips, green leaf lettuce, and tomato. If you don’t add the sauce on (which comes on the side), you can save 20 calories and 90 mg of sodium.

360 calories, 7 grams of fat, 1,110 mg sodium
Wendy’s ultimate chicken grill includes a tender grilled whole spiced chicken breast fillet topped with a delicious honey mustard sauce, tomatoes, and crisp lettuce. As with any one of these sandwiches, you can hold the mayo to give yourself an even more guilt-free treat.
Taco Bell Fresco Style Steak Burrito Supreme
340 calories, 8 grams of fat, 1,100 mg sodium
With Taco Bell’s fresco style options, they hold off on the sour cream and shredded cheese. With the steak burrito supreme, you get a soft flour tortilla wrapped around carne asada steak, beans, crisp shredded lettuce, diced onions, ripe tomatoes, fiesta salsa, and topped with a tangy red sauce.
If these primarily chicken-options don’t feed your need for fast food, these other options are also fairly calorie-friendly: an original McDonalds hamburger (260 calories, 9 grams of fat), a McDonalds Egg McMuffin (300 calories, 12 grams of fat), a Pizza Hut “Fit n Friendly” Chicken and Veggie Pizza (2 slices are 340 calories, 9 grams of fat), or Jr Hamburger options at various fast food stops (usually 250-400 calories).
