The 10 Healthiest Fast Food Meals

The great thing about choosing Chipotle is you’re able to customize your order to whatever it is you like. And, they have some nutritious options that taste great, too. Opt for chicken in your bowl, and you’ll pack in 32 grams of protein to help keep you fuller, longer. Or, if you’re vegetarian, you can top it with their ‘sofritas’, a soy protein blend that has 29 grams of protein. Top it with veggies, guacamole, and some cheese to get in some healthy fats, and you have a well-rounded meal.

There’s no denying that craving for Chik-fil-A when it comes. But, that original chicken sandwich houses 1700 mg of sodium alone. Get some fries and a drink on the side, and that number will pop up even more.

Luckily, Chik-fil-A’s grilled chicken sandwich is just as good, is 770 mg of sodium (not a great number, but better than the alternative). It also packs 28 grams of protein. Pair it with a side salad or fruit cup for some extra vitamins and minerals.

Need an on-the-go breakfast and your morning coffee?

Starbucks has you covered. Their egg white and roasted red pepper egg bites are only 170 calories, with 12 grams of protein. Pair it with some of their steel cut oatmeal to up the fiber and carbohydrates, and you have a well-rounded, filling breakfast.

It’s a classic, and it’s shockingly not terrible for you.

The McDonald’s Egg McMuffin is only 310 calories and boast 17 grams of protein, and only 13 grams of fat (pretty reasonable for fast food). With a McDonalds on almost every street corner, you can now take comfort in knowing you can eat healthy just about anywhere.

If you’re looking for a quick snack, you can’t go wrong with Chik-fil-A’s grilled chicken nuggets. At 130 calories and 25 grams of protein, they’re a quick and easy option when you need something that’s going to hold you over until your next meal. Toss them in a little bit of their buffalo sauce for an added kick with little added calories (only 25, to be exact).

You know what else is on just about every street corner? Subway. You know where else you can get a healthy meal? Subway.

Their 6-inch roast beef sandwich is 590 calories, 45 grams of protein, and only 10 grams of fat. Throw on some avocado or guacamole to add some extra healthy fats, and you’ve got yourself a healthy balanced meal.

Panera is known for being one of the healthier of the fast food stops. For good reason too, their large collection of soups, salads, and sandwiches leaves you tons of fresher options then your regular fast food burger and fries.

The good news, too, is that you don’t have to order a salad from here to eat healthy. Panera’s teriyaki chicken and broccoli bowl is a huge meal that only have 610 calories, and a whopping 46 grams of protein. It’s a great dinner to grab on your way home from work when you have no food at home.

The spinach, feta, and egg white wrap from Starbucks is only 290 calories and packs 20 grams of protein, making it a great option for those fast quick mornings when you need something to start your day.

Dunkin isn’t just donuts anymore. They have a promising selection of wraps and sandwiches, and their chicken and roasted pepper wrap is the perfect lunch or snack when you’re in a pinch. It’s 380 calories and has 25 grams of protein. It does have 10 grams of saturated fat, though, so don’t scarf one down daily. But, it is a solid option when you’re in need of something a little healthier, fast.
