What Are The Healthiest Fast Food Options?

Mind is All

Sometimes, we end up in a situation where fast food - despite never exactly being the healthiest option - is the only option! Sometimes, you might be stuck eating fast food whether you really want to or not - either because you are always on the road, or because you work at a job where it makes more sense to eat fast food than to pack a lunch. And you will want to know what your healthiest fast food options are if you are in this situation yourself.

One of the toughest things about being stuck eating fast food all the time is that you will also be in a position where you are at the mercy of a consensus decision as to where this fast food will come from. If you are in this position where you are unable to pick where your food is coming from, be aware that you can get salads from such fast food establishments as Wendy's and McDonald's. Of course, the ingredients in these salads are neither organically grown nor consistently fresh, but it is much better than getting a "mystery meat" sandwich!

Chick-fil-A is a good option if - on the other hand - you are in a position where you can choose where you are eating. Chick-fil-A is pricier than many other fast food options, but part of the reason for this is because they use fresh, healthy ingredients! And even though you might not feel like spending the money, the tradeoff of a healthier option and tremendous taste usually makes it worth the money!

And if you are looking for the healthiest fast food option (that is, if you have time to not go through a drive-thru), look no further than Panera. You can choose from a number of healthy, delicious options for sandwiches, salads, and soups. Be careful, however, as there are also plenty of unhealthy options at Panera as well - and these can look appealing when you see them in the display cases!

Any time when you can pack a lunch, it is much better to do so; but you should go for one of these options if packing a lunch is out of the question.
