We all have those days when we didn't make lunch or don't feel like cooking and swinging through a drive thru is inevitable. This post is to give you insight into choosing which low calorie option is right for you. The foods will be broken down by: Calorie Count Total Fat Grams Protein Grams These are the fast food restaurants that I see or visit most often. Be sure to list other fast food places you would like to see in this post in the comments below! Let's get into it. First: Arby's
Burger King
Chick-fil-A
Sorry guys, there are NO fries on this list. Even a small fry is over 300 calories at 320, BUT you can get a bag of their waffle potato chips for 220 calories, 13g of fat, and 3g of protein. Be sure to remember that those dipping sauces that Chick-fil-A does so well have calories in them too! My favorite, the Chick-fil-A sauce, has 140 calories in one tiny container! The lowest calories sauce I found was the zesty buffalo sauce at 25 calories. KFC One of my favorite places, until all the ones near us got rid of their grilled chicken options!
McDonald's 1. The fruit and yogurt parfait has 160 calories, 2g of fat, and 4g of protein 2. A small Strawberry banana smoothie has 210 calories, 1/2g of fat, and 2g of protein 3. Egg McMuffin has 300 calories, 12g of fat, and 17g of protein 4. One hash brown has 150 calories, 9g of fat, and 1g of protein 5. 4 piece chicken nuggets has 190 calories, 12g of fat, and 9g of protein and the 6 piece has 280 calories, 18g of fat, 13g of protein 6. Their hamburger has 250 calories, 9g of fat, and 12g of protein 7. Cheeseburger has 300 calories, 13g of fat, and 15g of protein 8. One sausage burrito has 300 calories, 16g of fat, and 12g of protein- but let’s be real. Who on earth only eats ONE of those?? 9. Fruit and maple oatmeal has 290 calories, 4.5g of fat, and 5g of protein 10 You can grab a kiddie cone for 45 calories and 1g of fat or get a strawberry sundae for 280 calories and 6g of fat. Peanuts are an extra 45 calories. 11. The hot apple pie is 250 calories and 13g of fat while that little packet of McDonald’s cookies (which I have not seen in a long time!) are 260 calories and 8g if fat. Good news! A small fry is 230 calories, which means it makes this list! It comes with 11g of fat and 3g of protein. For their coffee choices, I would suggest pulling up the full nutritional guide or their nifty online nutrition calculator. Their coffee and McCafe options are endless and there are MANY under 300 calories. Popeyes
Sonic
The beverage list from Sonic’s nutritional information site is over 4 of the 9 pages long. It contains lemonades, slushies, Ocean Waters, teas, juices, limeades, along with various add-ins. Many options are under 300 calories, but I would suggest pulling up their nutritional info before ordering. I saw drinks on there as high as 600 calories! If you order diet, you are probably getting a drink well under 100 calories. Starbucks This post is specifically about Starbucks food and will not include coffees or drinks. In another blog (click the button below to go there) you can read about the Starbucks drinks orders that are 100 calories or less.
Starbucks carries many snack options by other manufacturers such as Moon Cheese packs (which are 70 calories) and That’s It bars (100 calories). Steak n Shake This is a very small list. The nutritional information of Steak n Shake is not great. That's probably why they are so tasty.
Sadly, no shakes made it onto the list due to calorie content. Taco Bell My favorite 1:00am drunk food.
Last, but certainly not least: Wendy's
Take a Jr. fry and a Jr. chocolate Frosty and mix them together for a heavenly treat... at 460 calories. YIKES. But totally worth it. Thanks for reading! -Jamie
