Low Calorie Fast Food

Soup-er Choice: Low-Fat Soups and Broths

Don't underestimate the power of soup! Many fast food restaurants offer low-fat soups and broths that are perfect for a light and healthy meal or a side to your salad or wrap. They're typically under 200 calories and can be surprisingly filling thanks to the broth and any vegetables or lean protein included.

Look for soups with a broth base and skip cream-based soups that tend to be higher in calories and fat. Chicken noodle soup, vegetable soup, and minestrone are all good options to consider.

 

The Breakfast of Champions (Anytime): Egg and Veggie Bowls

Who says you can't enjoy breakfast for dinner? Many fast food restaurants now offer egg and veggie bowls that are a great source of protein and healthy fats to keep you feeling satisfied. These bowls typically come in around 300-400 calories and can be customized with your choice of eggs (scrambled or fried), veggies, cheese, and salsa.

Skip the hash browns or breakfast potatoes that often come with these bowls. They add unnecessary calories and fat. Opt for a side of fruit or yogurt instead.

 

The Fire-Grilled Favorite: Salmon or Chicken with Steamed Veggies

Many fast food restaurants offer grilled chicken or salmon options that are a great source of lean protein. Pair it with a side of steamed veggies like broccoli, carrots, or green beans for a well-rounded and satisfying meal under 400 calories.

Skip the french fries or onion rings that often come as a side with these entrees. Opt for the steamed veggies instead for a healthy and low-calorie option.

 

Remember: While these options are lower in calories than typical fast food fare, it's still important to be mindful of portion sizes and toppings.
