In your life, there will be a situation where you have to eat fast food because there is no other option.
With that knowing, I wanted to create some great low-calorie fast food options for you that will not hinder your results.
Is Fast Food the most nutritious option out there?
Probably not.
However, you can still enjoy it when you are put in a situation where you got no choice.
And listen, by consuming fast food you won’t automatically die or become fat.
You will be fine.
Having said that, below are some low-calorie fast food options for you!
1. Mcdonalds: Jr Chicken
Probably the best tasting low-calorie fast food option out there is the JR Chicken.
Per 1 Jr Chicken, it’s 370 calories with 13 grams of protein.
Yes, it is high in carbs and fat, but when put in a situation where you have to eat it, it will be totally okay.
Having said that, something you can do to reduce the calories is to reduce the amount of mayo in the chicken.
You can tell them to put half the amount.
By doing that you can cut the calories by 25 IF you want to do that.
2. Wendy’s: Grilled Chicken Sandwich
Want a high protein, low-calorie fast food option?
Then going with the Grilled chicken sandwich is an amazing option for you!
How so?
Because per 1 sandwich it contains 34 grams of protein!
Furthermore, it’s total calories are 370 and it’s only 10 grams of fat with 36 grams of carbs!
These macros are very hard to come by when it comes to fast food.
Therefore, this fast-food option can be a great choice for you!
3. A&W: Spicy Chipotle Chicken Wrap
Now, the macros are not great on this, but it does get the job done.
Per 1 wrap it is only 270 calories!
The protein is not the greatest at 10 grams, however, because the wrap in itself is low calorie it makes it bearable.
For this reason, it is a great option for you.
4. Burger King: Chicken Nuggets
Though the macros on the chicken nuggets are not all that great, you can still make it work.
How?
By only eating half the amount.
When you only eat half the amount, the calories are a lot friendlier.
Half the amount gets you: 215 calories, 11.5 grams of protein and carbs, and for fat, you reduce it to 14 grams.
This could be a lot worse if you ate the whole thing.
Therefore, by going with half the amount you save yourself a lot of calories!
5. KFC: Popcorn Chicken
Most of the options at KFC are fairly high calorie, with the exception of a few.
Popcorn Chicken is one of them.
Per an individual size popcorn chicken, it is only 170 calories.
The protein? 9 grams.
Fat? 10 grams.
And carbs? 20 grams.
These macros are fairly good for a place that fries food!
Going with the veggie burger can also be a good option, however, popcorn chicken is an amazing choice too!
Final Words
