Low Calorie Fast Food Lunches

Hi guys!! Hope y'all are doing well on this beautiful morning!! It's going to be a great day!! It's finally going to warm back up today in my neck of the woods. That cold and rainy weather is not for me. Also, we bought a new car last night!! Well, new to me anyway. I looove it!!! It's a white Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. It's a v8 which I could care less about but it makes my husband happy. LOL I can't wait to get one of those mirrored monogrammed license plates that I saw on this post from Southern Cinderella. I'm thinking about getting the same scalloped design but in turquoise. Isn't it adorable?!


On to the food!!! Since I've been on my diet plan since January, I've learned a lot about fast food for lunch. As much as I would LOVE to make my lunch every day and have a little homemade salad or sandwich with some homemade hummus dip or baked sweet potato fries...it's just not practical for me. I don't have a lot of time to make that and to be honest, on my lunch break sometimes I'd like to get OUT of the store for an hour rather than eating at my desk. That's where fast food comes in. Fast food isn't ALL that bad. There are good choices, you just have to sift them out!! I'm going to share with you some lunches that I have found to be low fat and/or low calorie that you can pick up quick on your lunch break.



1. Taco Bell - Fresco Chicken Burrito Supreme - This burrito is soooo good and it's very filling! It only has 340 calories and 8 grams of fat. Easy lunch on the go!

2. Panera Bread - You Pick Two (Half Sierra Turkey Sandwich and Half Classic Cafe Salad) - On the sandwich, you can substitute the chipotle mayo for spicy brown mustard and save 155 calories!!! Also, substitute the Foccacia bread for Whole Grain White bread and save 170 calories! This puts your sandwich at only 170 calories. With the reduced fat balsamic vinaigrette, your salad only has 80 calories making your whole lunch come to only 250 calories and 9 grams of fat!

3. Wendy's - Grilled Chicken Go Wrap and a Side Salad - On the Go Wrap, order it without cheese to save 35 calories. For the salad, order the fat free french dressing which only has 70 calories in it. This meal will have a total of 320 calories and 7 grams of fat. The Go Wrap has a honey mustard sauce on it and it is so delicious!!
