fast food that's ok

[MaureenS 24]

30days out. Just had a small Wendy's chili with cheese

Is this a good thing to eat

Any other fast foods that we can eat?

Yes you can eat that it's great source of Protein and it's approved by my doctor . Congrsts on your choice to be healthy remember to drink your Water ,walk, and get in your protein.

I've had it a few times. I wouldn't say it is the best overall option, but when in a bind and fast food is the only option - I think this is the lesser of the fast food evils.

I opt to go without the cheese, as they use the full fat stuff, but since it isn't like they pile it on I doubt that is too horrible.

The only other fast food I've eaten was some grilled nuggets from Chick-Fil-A.

I've read about other people getting Pintos N cheese or eating the insides of a taco from Taco Bell, but I'm afraid I'd be too tempted with some of my old faves, so have avoided Taco Bell.

Egg white Breakfast sandwich from subway. They can even make a quarter size one.

I have only tried 3 inch subway flat bread with turkey and I was desperate for food. Other than that I don't eat any fast foods. I don't know if I would ever try it cause we have options in NYC that are far better than fast foods and healthier. But if I had to choose I would eat chilli at Wendy's and if I had to have McDonalds I would have grilled chicken sandwich minus the bread. Hope this helps!

I've had Wendy's chili in a pinch. I tolerate it well. It's soupy but I also find it a little greasy. I'm more likely to stop in a Walmart, Target, or grocery store for an Oscar Myer lunchable. I eat the meat and cheese and 1/2 the crackers. But usually I take my lunch bag whenever I go out - I carry yogurt, nuts, Protein bars (Quest), and sf drink mixes for my Water. I also carry my Calcium chews in it. Calcium is usually the thing I forget most often if I get busy. If I have it on me I can take it whenever I think of it. I have recently tried Calcet Creamy Bites - they are SO good! It's like having a little candy fix! :-)

I've had Wendy's Chili many times. It's actually pretty healthy. Haven't had it since I gave up red meat, though. I've also had Subway a few times, though I don't really consider them fast food. I have had a biscuit or some of a mashed potato bowl twice since surgery. An indulgence once in awhile is ok in my opinion, as long as it isn't a regular thing.

Terry I like your lunch ideas thanks

[Amyllf2 206]

I've had egg mcmuffin and egg white mcmuffin. I eat only one piece of the bread.< /p>

I've also had a hamburger from McDonald's and a Junior cheeseburger from Wendys.

On Friday I had an asiago bagel with cream cheese from Einstein Bros.

I didn't attempt any of this until month 4ish.

Your welcome! I recently have been able to tolerate Dunkin Donuts Wake-up wrap (eggwhite, ham, and cheese with very little bread). I get one maybe twice a week.

[pookybear 284]

I've had an egg and cheese wake up wrap or a chicken salad wrap with no bacon from Dunkin a few times. My splurge has been a mashed potato bowl from KFC. I've had this maybe 3 or 4 times since surgery and can only eat some of it. It's bad, though, I don't recommend it often.

[pookybear 284]

I highly recommend checking out websites and nutritional information ahead of time, and make a list of things at each place that you are comfortable with eating. Makes it a LOT easier to have your own little personalized menu. Less confusion and less temptation to order bad stuff.

I'm not eating fast food ever ! That's what got me into this position at least partly and I'm not going there again!

Fast food?? No way I won't do it!!! One of the reasons why I am 90+ lbs over weight is choosing fast food over eating healthy! The best of the band for me is having to plan ahead and being ready for the next few days. No surprises, no chance to visit the danger zone!

Good luck!!'
