Five Healthy Fast Food Meals to Consider When in a Pinch

You can be the most prepared person on the planet, but I bet there will be a time (if it hasn’t already happened) where your bad fortune places you in the situation where you need food, and you don’t have any. Fast food might actually be a good quick meal for you. Now before you start pumping the brakes, hear me out about healthy fast food meals.

Just because fast food gets a bad rap for being unhealthy, that doesn’t mean that there aren’t some healthy fast food meals out at many locations to consider. This article will showcase a few options to have in your back pocket if you’re ever placed in the scenario. The options and conclusions mentioned below are the opinions of the author.

1. Chick-Fil-A Chargrilled Chicken Cool Wrap

It’s hard to find a more delicious chicken wrap out in the fast food market. It’s my recommendation that you skip to dressing that comes with it and save yourself the calories. On its own, this is a great tasting wrap. However, most people prefer the taste of some type of dressing/sauce with their wrap, so if you had to choose one, I’d go with the fat-free honey mustard if you MUST have something on your wrap. Note: the breakdown below includes the fat-free honey mustard dressing.

The Breakdown:
-470 calories
-12g fat
-64g carbohydrates
-10g fiber
-33g protein



2. Chick-Fil-A Grilled Chicken Sandwich with Fruit Cup

Notice how I didn’t mention fries? That’s because you don’t need them. And in actuality, the fruit cup that you get at Chick-Fil-A is very good. The grilled chicken sandwich is a tough sandwich to beat. Most of the sandwich and nugget options at locations involve fried chicken, at Chick-Fil-A, you can get a healthy grilled chicken breast between a whole grain bun. Get your sandwich plain and without any mayonnaise or condiments on it. You get your size choice with the fruit cup and I’d recommend you go ahead a pick up the large size. Grab a cup of water and you’re good to go. This is probably my favorite healthy fast food meal of all time when I was on the road.

The Breakdown:
-400 calories
-3.5g fat
-65g carbohydrates
-6g fiber
-30g protein
