Grilled Chicken Sandwiches or Kid's Sized Burgers

McDonald’s® and Burger King® both offer grilled chicken sandwiches and “kid-sized” burgers. Hold the mayonnaise and any other sauce on your sandwich; opt instead for ketchup, mustard, pickles and lettuce. 

Fruit Parfaits

Order a McDonald’s® fruit parfait for a dessert or quick healthy snack.

Chili and Baked Potatoes

Wendy’s® Old Fashioned Hamburgers offers a hearty chili as well as baked potatoes. Put the chili on top of the baked potato instead of  sour cream or butter. Ask for a cup of shredded cheese on the side, so you can control the amount you put on your healthy choice.The Diet Channel Website has these suggestions for fast-food choices while on a diet:

Think Soft

Order something that comes in a soft tortilla. If you visit Taco Bell® or another fast-food Mexican restaurant, choose soft rather than items with deep-fried chips or on a hard taco shell, which was probably also deep-fried. Hold the sour cream, ask for only a small amount of cheese and order a side of refried beans.

Eat Pizza

You can still have pizza on your diet. Simply ask for your pizza on a thin crust and skip the meat --- just have vegetables as your topping.
