Healthiest Fast Food: Questions & Ideas (Part 1)

What is the in general healthiest fast food place to eat at?

I am thinking that. I think that "healthy" and "fast food" is an oxymoron. For that matter, I don't even think that most of those places even sell food. On the rare occasions that I have to do fast food or go hungry, it's either Burger King for the veggie burger (though it's still on white bread and automatically comes with mayo and cheese unless otherwise requested), Subway for their pathetic salad on a white bun (their wheat bread is not whole wheat), However, Subway's "healthy" sandwiches are full of sodium and nitrates from the deli meat. Taco Bell is okay as I can get things with beans instead of meat and with no cheese, Wendy's because they do have a baked potato (ironically, I own about five shares of Wendy's stock, purchased long before I cared about what I put into my body and from where it came; Now, financially, I'm better off keeping it) and Tim Horton's which also has a veggie sandwich (and some yummy fat free muffins and coffee). (I also own Tim Horton's stock which I acquired when the two companies split. Even better, I receive dividend checks for about a dollar periodically and I didn't buy the stock but acquired it when Wendy's bought TH's. I digress.)

The best is Panera, which has several vegetarian choices that can be easily made vegan. They offer whole wheat bread and apples in lieu of their baked chips. I used to get hummus sandwich there, but now I get hummus and pitas from the local Mid-East restaurant or from Trader Joe's and some whole wheat pitas as well.

I avoid McDonald's. They're pure evil. I noticed that they started to add "healthy" options after people began to question the "healthfulness" of their food. I think the "healthy" Happy Meals are a joke. Sure, they offer apples, but their skinless, most of the fiber and nutrients are in the skin, so what's the point?

Anyway, I hope this has been of some help.

Wherever you go to, whether its mcdonalds or wendy's or taco bell, there will be at least one item on the menu that are low calorie. Subway probably has the most variety and "bang for your buck"

In my opinion I'd say El Pollo Loco and Yoshinoya besides Subway, Togos, and Quizno's.

Which is the healthiest fast food restaurant?

How healthy the food is doesn't really matter if you don't like it and won't eat it. You can get a really healthy sandwich at Subway if you skip the cheese and the dressing, but most people find that to be dry and tasteless. So they add the cheese and some mayo, and turn that healthy sub into something that's hardly any better then a double-cheeseburger.

I would advise you to check the websites of the various fast food places in your area. Every fast food place publishes nutrition information about their offerings. Look for something that you think might be tasty, and is fairly healthy, then go try it. If you like it, add it to your menu. If not, try something else.

And do check the nutrition information, even if something looks like it should be healthy. There are a lot of grilled chicken sandwiches or salads out there that look like they should be good for you, but you check the numbers and it turns out they're as bad as a burger, or worse.

That's like asking which Democrat would best help our country by running for Pres. in '08.

All the stuff you normally eat at BK or McED's you can just as easily and almost as quickly make in your home or apartment, and without the health risks.

You really are asking a "Which is the lesser of these evils?" question, because all of the fast food places use more trans fats and sat. fats than what is healthy for you.

Just buy your meats from grocery stores and fry them at home and take control of your diet instead of allowing fast food joints to do so; 20-60 years from now, you will be very glad you did.

What is the healthiest fast food place to eat besides subway?

Chick-Fil-A. It's the best, hands down. It finished even higher than Subway. All the meals have less than 500 calories and there are alternative side dishes like fruit.

The book Eat This, Not That named them #1 in the nation. By the way, McDonald's is indeed considered one of the healthiest fast food places now. They've made a lot of changes since the days of Fast Food Nation. They have healthy sandwich and salad options, great healthy kids meals, and they don't have the huge Supersize option anymore.

Jimmy John's or Subway, I think. Depends if you like cold cut sandwiches, though! I love both Jimmy John's and Subway!

Healthiest fast food option?

Most fast food chains have nutrition info on the web.

At Jack in the Box, a healthy meal would be 4 grilled chicken strips and a side salad with low fat balsamic dressing. All that comes to about 300 calories. You could even go for the chicken fajita pita for just 280 calories or chipotle chicken ciabatta with grilled chicken for 250 calories. Avoid all the crispy and spicy sandwiches.

Why not go for a kids meal instead? Go for chicken breast strips or a hamburger with the applesauce cup.

If you feel the need to splurge at Jack in the Box go for the seasoned curly fries over the natural cut fries (small size always!) due to a lower calorie and fat content.

At McDonald's, a hamburger has only 250 calories and the grilled chicken snack wraps have between 260 and 270 calories depending on the sauce you order.

Burger King offers a veggie burger. Order it without mayo and the calorie number is 340 with only 8 grams of fat.

Hope this helps!

What are the most healthiest fast food restaurants in the U.S.?

I don't think Long John Silvers has many healthy options. McDonalds has grilled chicken wraps, salads, low fat yogurt parfaits, and apple dippers. Chick fil A has grilled chicken sandwiches, salads, parfaits, and fruit cups. Taco Bell has the fresco tacos. I'm not sure about the sit down restaurants, because I usually can't afford to go there.
