Eating On the Go? 5 Healthiest Items on a Fast Food Menu

On the go. Those three words describe how many of us live our lives. When you’re always on the go, however, it can be hard to keep a good balance on things.

Particularly, a good balance on your healthy eating habits. Especially when eating healthy can often be expensive.

It’s very tempting to grab that inexpensive burger and fries, but when not done in moderation, those burgers and fries can add up to a high price that won’t be easy to pay.

Unhealthy fast food over time can make us susceptible to several health issues. But are there any healthy alternatives to those burgers and fries? Yes, there are!

Several fast-food restaurants offer affordable, healthy fast food alternatives. Here are just a few to get you started.  

Chick-Fil-A’s Superfood Side Chock full of natural healthy goodness such as broccoli and kale, this side is a great alternative to the other greasy options.

McDonald’s Artisan Grilled Chicken Sandwich: Because it’s grilled and not fried, that almost makes it better by default. Add in the fact it's low in calories and fat and high in protein, this sandwich is great for bulking up those muscles. 

Dunkin Doughnuts Egg White Veggie Flatbread Need healthy breakfast option? Here’s one. 

The egg white veggie flatbread is great because it contains no egg yolk, and is full of farm-fresh vegetables like mushrooms peppers, and onions. 

Burger King BK Veggie Burger If you love your burgers and would hate to give them up, here’s a great alternative.

Burger Kings Veggie Burgers cost the same amount as regular burgers but have the same great taste. 

Arby’s Roast Turkey Farmhouse Salad It's great to know that a fast-food restaurant with “all the meats” has a few vegetables as well.

 

Arby’s takes the turkey and adds on a great amount of lettuce, along with a few other ingredients.

It’s a great way to get your greens and meats.  

These options are just a few on a rather long list of healthy options from fast-food restaurants.

Over the years, these restaurants have opened up their menus to many healthy options.

And now that you’re aware of them, you can go and try as many as you like. Guilt-free! Or, at least close to it.
