My Top Fast Food Choices

fries You can enjoy a small order of fries at most fast food restaurants for under 200 calories.

Despite the "bad rap" fast food has gotten in recent years, it is entirely possible to make better choices at many eateries. Here are my top picks at four of my favorite chains: Ultimate chicken grill sandwich - 370 caloriesJr. hamburger - 280 caloriesBaked potato, plain - 270 caloriesCaesar chicken salad (no toppings/dressing) - 190 caloriesChili, small - 220 caloriesMandarin chicken salad - (no toppings/dressing) - 170 caloriesLow-fat strawberry flavored yogurt - 140 caloriesApple Dippers w/low fat caramel dip - 100 caloriesFruit 'N Yogurt Parfait - 160 caloriesHamburger - 250 caloriesPremium classic grilled chicken sandwich (no mayonnaise dressing) - 370 caloriesCaesar salad with grilled chicken (no dressing) - 220 caloriesGrilled chicken bacon ranch salad (no dressing) - 260 caloriesVanilla reduced-fat ice cream cone - 150 caloriesJunior burger - 355 caloriesGrilled cheese toaster sandwich - 310 caloriesGrilled chicken sandwich - 350 caloriesGrilled chicken salad (no dressing) - 365 caloriesChicken strip snack - 280 caloriesFrench fries, regular - 185 caloriesVanilla dish - 195 caloriesSmall honey bourbon chicken sandwich - 330 caloriesSmall turkey lite sandwich - 360 caloriesSmall Sierra smoked turkey w/ raspberry chipotle sauce - 360 caloriesSmall Tuscan chicken salad - 325 caloriesSmall veggie lite sandwich - 300 calories
