Lose 10 Pounds in 30 Days Eating These 4 Fast Food Meals
Do you rely on fast food as part of your busy life, but have weight loss goals you want to meet? While losing weight, you can still eat at your favorite fast food restaurants, including Chick-fil-A and Chipotle. Judy Nelson is a trainer specializing in helping clients lose 10 pounds in 30 days. In a recent post, she reveals her go-to fast food orders for weight loss. "My top 4 fast food orders – All under 400 calories and packed with 30 grams of protein to help me tone up and stay on track," she writes.
Chick-fil-A
Order: Grilled Chicken Sandwich (no bun) + Side Salad with Light Italian dressing
Calories: ~360
Protein: ~34g
Tip: "Ask for extra grilled chicken if you're extra hungry—just watch the calorie bump," she suggests.
Chipotle
Order: Salad bowl with: Lettuce base, chicken, fajita veggies, tomato salsa, a light sprinkle of cheese (optional), no rice, no beans, no sour cream.
Calories: ~370
Protein: ~35g

Order: Turkey Tom Unwich (lettuce wrap) + add extra turkey
Calories: ~350
Protein: ~30g
Tip: "Skip mayo; ask for mustard or oil & vinegar light. Load up on veggies for volume," she suggests.
Taco Bell

Calories: ~390
