Which restaurant has the best fast food nutritional information?


Quote  |  Reply

Although I'm not a fast food fan, there's a trip coming up that is going to include a stop for fast food.  I've been browsing all the popular ones to see who offers what.

So far Wendy's has the most complete information.  Not only do they give information on each menu item, but they break it down by component. Each menu item has information about allergys like peanuts and gluten. They also have a section with the ingredients of everything.

My choices, if we stop at Wendy's, would be the Mandarin Chicken Salad, or the Southwestern Taco Salad. 

What's your favorite fast food website?

Wendy's or Subway. At Wendy's I get a large chili for 330 calories!
Burger King also has very easy to access, easy to read nutrition info where you can "build" your meal one component at a time, similar to Wendy's.  They also have all their ingredients listed.  I was happy to find that a Whopper Jr is a reasonable 370 calories.  Leave off the mayo and it's only 330.  It doesn't have any trans fat, either, though several of their other sandwiches do.

I found that Jack in the Box and Taco Bell have good information, especially JB because they give ingredients too.  Any major fast food place should be able to give you a pamphlet on request, that's what I've found.

 

Some decent selections include...

Jack in the Box:  Chicken Fajita Pita, Southwest salad (no dressing), 2 tacos (can't resist, too good and only 8g fat/taco)

Taco Bell:  Bean burrito, zesty chicken bowl (no dressing), chicken soft taco, and at Taco Bell, you can order anything 'fresco' and they will take out the cheese/sour cream and put in pico de gallo.

And whatever you get make sure to ask for no mayo or cheese if you want to reduce calories and fat.

Burger King also has "component" nutrition.

I like Subway better though. 

Panda Express and Boston Market have the best diet-friendly selections, in my opinion.

While it's more geared toward ww people.  I found that Dotti's (www.dwlz.com) to be a good place to find calorie, fat, and fiber contents for some eating places.  I've found it helpful.

 Happy Holidays!

I'm Constantly eating fast food (I have no choice with my job) I am always on the road so I have been stopping at subway they seem to be everywhere. I  get one of the sandwiches under 7g of fat with no cheese but I do always get light mayo (can't eat a sandwich without mayo!!) I  get the baked chips and drink a tea. I started this about 2 weeks ago and have lost 9 pounds I used to stop and Wendy's and any other place that served cheeseburgers! So my advice is find a Subway!!!
