How to Eat Healthy at Fast Food Restaurants

Writer: Nick NicholasNick Nicholas

How to Stay on Track While Eating Fast Food (Yes, It’s Possible!)




Let’s be real—sometimes, life is so hectic that a quick stop at a fast food restaurant is the easiest option. But does that mean you have to throw your health goals out the window? Absolutely not!


By making smart choices, you can still enjoy the convenience of fast food without compromising your progress.


Here’s how:

3 Easy Tips to Make Healthier Fast Food Choices

✅ Grilled > Fried: Choose grilled chicken, lean proteins, and fresh ingredients whenever possible. Fried foods add unnecessary calories and unhealthy fats.

✅ Watch the Extras: Sauces, cheese, and dressings can add hundreds of calories. Stick with light or no sauce, and opt for healthier toppings like extra veggies.

✅ Think Outside the Bun: Many places offer salads, bowls, and wraps that are better options than a standard burger and fries combo.


Healthier Choices at Popular Fast Food Chains

🍗 Chick-fil-A:

  • Grilled Chicken Sandwich (ask for no butter on the bun)

  • Side of fruit instead of fries

  • Unsweetened iced tea or water

🍔 McDonald's:

  • Artisan Grilled Chicken Sandwich (skip the mayo)

  • Apple slices or a side salad instead of fries

  • Black coffee or water

🌯 Chipotle:

  • Burrito Bowl with brown rice, black beans, chicken, fajita veggies, and salsa

  • Skip the cheese & sour cream (or get them on the side to use less)

  • Guacamole? Yes! Healthy fats in moderation are great for you.
