Fast food...is anything healthy enough for living?

Question

I work with my family for the family business. More often than not, we're on the road four of five nights during the week and unfortunately with the exception of an early departure, we find ourselves at Jack n tha crack, What-a-burger, Mcdonalds, Burger King and the healthiest of 'em all (?), Subway. We try to focus on Subway, especially now that they're doing the Scrabble game, but its difficult when we're out in the boonies. Most of these places close at nine p.m. or earlier and we would like to experience variety from time to time as any human being would. I've queried my father about a mini-fridge on his mammoth of a vehicle, and its a no-go yo. So my question is!!!!

What is the healthiest suggestion for men on the road to eat out of these gory fattening fast food joints? Is it chicken that is dipped in grease for 6 minutes, or burgers that sit under heat lamps? Is it salads that must have dressing to be enjoyable, but isn't the dressing is just as fattening as the aforementioned greasy burger or fried strips?

Help me, I'm getting fatter by the minute!!!!

Answer 1

Subway is your best bet unless you can stop in at a grocery store and buy some fresh fruits and veggies and other health foods. Just buy small quantities enough for the meal your about to eat.

I think Panera is also good if you stay away from their cheese bread.

Answer 2

maybe ask for no dressing on ur salads

Answer 3

If you're willing to avoid certain items, almost every fast food restaurant has an array of healthy choices.

Answer 4

stop at a tesco/asda supermarket etc and stock up son.  Some are open 24hrs, most open till 10pm.  Get a french baguette, cheese, vegetables, olives, and any fillings you like

Answer 5

It's the salads without the dressing. Make your own vinaigrette or something. It'll cut back on the fat and calories A LOT! Chicken nuggets/strips, most restaurants use white meat now, so they are healthier than they were before.

As for burgers, well, those haven't really changed. As even when they ARE made to order, the patties have usually been sitting in their own grease for hours.

Answer 8

Subways is usually the best choice, but be careful there too.  My husband and I were eating there several nights a week to help us lose weight, until my husband found out that the teryaki chicken had a day's worth of sodium!  Wendy's is actually not too bad either, just get the ultimate grilled chicken with a baked potato and a water, or coke zero.  Usually the grilled chicken choice on any fast food menu is pretty decent.  Good Luck, this is a hard fight to battle!
