Best Fast Food Choices

Guess what?

 

You’re going to have to eat out at some point. Everyone does.

 

I thought it would be helpful for you to have a ‘go to’ list of some of the best choices you can make when you have limited choices for healthy eating.

 

Keep in mind that I didn’t put these choices in order of best nutrition or by my favorites. My own fast food ‘go to’ is Starbucks egg white spinach feta wrap. For me, a quick to eat wrap with nearly 20 g of protein and only 280 calories is a flavor favorite.

So take a look at the following eight fast food joints best offerings and when you’re on the run you can find one that will support your fat loss efforts:
