Favorite Band Friendly Fast Food Go To



Recommended Posts

For Breakfast I like the steak and egg burrito at Carl’s Jr. (minus the tortilla). For lunch/dinner I get the chili at Quiznos or the chicken taco (minus the tortilla) and pintos & cheese at Taco Bell. I like to eat Carne Asada or Pork Adobada at cheap Mexican places if I’m not too tight.

the only thing I can eat at mcd's is a parfait my favorite or the chicken nuggets. I just get meals at sitdown places and then I eat off them for the next 3 days

I eat the grilled chicken wrap at McDonalds when Im needing a fast food fix. Can't do burgers or fries at all anymore. Chicken of any variety is 90% of my diet now, but I just keep experimenting with ways to cook it :(

My favorite is Wendys Chile or wendys baked potato. I have tried McD southern fried chicken without the bun and it was yummy. I like Chick-fil-la nuggets too. I cant eat french fries anymore either they get stuck . :biggrin:

i get a "bowl" from chipotle no rice extra Beans and depending on my mood maybe one of the meats (comes with beans, onions peppers cheese sour cream salsa corn salsa and guacamole) but its so good even without the meat and you can get three meals out of it

I also like Wendy's chili or baked potato.

Chick fil a has an awsome wrap if you can handle the grain tortilla. I have to eat it very slowly and can only eat 1/2 at one meal. The fruit and walnut salad at McDonalds is an awsome breakfast or lunch if you need something quick.

I am on the run quite a bit so I do have fast food more then I should - I like the fresco taco from taco bell - lower fat version then their original - although it has to be on a hard shell - soft tortillas don't work for me. I also usually get nuggets at other places - if they aren't too breaded - arby's are too much breading- usually I get a kids meal and just have 4 nuggets and iced tea - somedays I will have a fry or 2 but more often then not they don't go down very welll. Wendy's has the easiest to eat chicken - it is very processed.... if I am really tight I stick with Soups. Even 2 years later I still get a Big Mac craving - but I tried it one time - thought just a bite or 2 and boy was that a mistake -won't make it again! Anne

The only fast food places I have tried so far are pizza, chinese and Subway. The 2 times I had pizza I limited myself to 1 slice even though I was still hungry. The couple times I've had Chinese, I've gotten them to make the General Tso's chicken sauteed so it wasn't so bad. I don't have any problem foods right now in terms of getting stuck so the bread at Subway isn't a problem, although I ask them to scoop out some of the insides anyway.

the chicken bacon ranch salad from mcdonalds. I get the grilled chicken and use the lite vinagrette dressing they have. They're chicken is pretty moist and as many problems as I used to have with chicken I've never had a problem with it.

This is a great thread. My family likes to go out and eat and my nieces and nephews just live for McDonalds, so it's great to have ideas of what I might be able to eat once I get back on solids. I cannot eat fresh fish and only tolerate things like fish sticks or canned tuna in limited amounts. Right now I stopped at Runza to pick up a fruit smoothie when I was running about town with no food and it was the only thing on the menu I could have. I bought a Protein Shake but it was disgusting.

Anyone have issues with popcorn once they are on solids? How about hard taco or tostada shells?

I've eaten popcorn a few times and never had a problem with it. I've had pretty good success with tacos as long as they have a hard shell. For some reason the soft ones don't go down well. And I too do not care for protien shakes. Once you get on solids it's easier to find ways to get your protien without them.

I like El Pollo Loco, I usually get two chicken legs and eat half a side salad (makes up my 4 oz and pretty low in calories). I also sometimes get 2 of their Taco El Carbons (take off one of the tortillas and right at 4oz)

Carls Jr. also does any of their hamburgers carbless (wrapped in lettuce)...I sometimes get the famous star this way and very good for a treat.

I also can't eat fries anymore, just about every time I have tried them they have caused a problem.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
