Yes and no. There are choices you can make at fast food chains that can be realitivly healthy, but they are no substitute for home cooked food. For example, any of the grilled chicken sandwiches (McDonalds, BK, Wendy's Subway) are decent as long as you ditch the mayonaise (and cheese in Subways case). Choose water instead of soda...even diet soda is NOT a good bobubuilding food and order a garden salad with light dressing. If you want to cut the fat in half...mix have the dressing with water and use that instead. The key is to use your head. Nothing fried, nothing breaded and nothing with sauces or ketchup...key words are grilled or baked.

Right on top of it petey.

If you have to eat somewhere elso go to subway, blimpie and something this type. No McDonalds. Forget about the cheese like Petey sayd and remember that water is the best drink out there.

Salt and sugar big Dies. I try to stay away...especially when I'm dieting.

Gosh....food seems soooo bland while dieting....

You can get the grilled chicken sandwiches at McD's, no mayo and drop the bread, just eat the chicken.

Most fast food places have some kind of salads with meat in them available. Get that and water.

A & W tender roast sandwinch is the best one I have bought. No mayo and it is a real chicken breast not a processed.

**Pete235** · 02-27-2002, 07:59 AM

Mustard actually tastes great on chicken or turkey. Annie....I cheat a little and eat the buns as well (I substitute mustard for mayo) but I do eat the buns. Mmmmmm........I especially like womens buns....whoops...wrong forum

Great replies to this question INHO. You can eat something at almost any fast food place if you make a special request. I sometime go to the Burger King and have them hold the pickle and the lettuce cause special orders dont upset us. Really, if you have them hold the bun, the ketchup and the secret sauce, its not too bad - kinda high in fat, but within the acceptable range for most. You can do the same with thier broiled chicken to reduce the fat you would take in. Most FF joints will cater to special requests. And as dane26 said, at the Boston Market you need only skip the dessert to stay within your goals.

To address the problem someone was talking about with ketchup: salt in it is high, but not nearly as detromental as the high sugar content. You would do as well pouring molases over your food.
