You can still eat fast food sometimes, just plan your meals ahead of time

i talked with a dietician about fast food, and she talked about how most big-name chains do have healthy food. it’s of course never gonna be as healthy as making it yourself, but you can still totally go to a fast food place with friends and have a decently filling meal.

i’ll put some of my favorite foods from big fast food places below, in case anyone is interested

mcdonald’s mains egg mcmuffin - 300 cal 6 piece mcnuggets - 280 cal hamburger - 250 cal crispy chicken ranch snack wrap - 350 cal grilled chicken ranch snack wrap - 270 cal grilled chicken caesar salad (no dressing) - 200 cal

using this list, i can easily get a 500-600 calorie meal at a fast food place. it won’t be super nutritious, but a lot of these options have good amounts of protein. totally fine to go to these places occasionally and in moderation
