I just had a foot long grilled chicken breast sub from Subway. I loaded it with some vegetables & mustard instead of mayonnaise.

There is a lot of salt in any lunch meat. Subway is ok for a lunch rush once in a while compaired to the other regular choices. Nobody should make it an everyday choice like jerod or the gay fireman did. I personally am not worried about some sodium once and a while and if someone is that worried about it then they probabley shouldn't eat at chipolte grille also. I wouldn't be suprised if the sodium wasn't high there also. If you are worried about what is in your food never go out to eat.
steak and chicken seasoned with salt
salsa usually has salt in it
chips salt
totillas guess what? a lot of damn salt.

I looked for nutrition values on the chipolte web site and found no information on what is in it or it's nutritional value soooo since they are owned by Mcdonalds it must all be healthy.

I'm a Chipotle lover as well! I eat there all the time, and my father in-law is an area manager here in AZ for Chipotle so I never have to pay. But as far as fast food goes I always try to eat there if I'm on the run.

I would recommend another McDonalds owned operation....Boston Market. They're the only fast food place i'll eat at. Subway isn't a good choice in my opinion...I don't see what's good about over processed meat and bread.

I get the chicken breast pieces from Boston Market (remove the skin, don't eat the wing)...along with a couple sides of steamed mixed veggiesand a dasani. Other than the salt being a little high...it's a very healthy meal.

 

[aztecwolf]

all fast food is going to be high in salt, how do you think they make it tasty and fast

chipotle nutrition

I see some Chipotle lovers on here...

Check out http://www.ChipotleLovers.com -- there is nutritional information about your burritos on there. You need to register (free) and then create your favorite burrito in the 'Potle Menu' section.

When you 'wrap it up' you'll get a nutrion summary (like the side of the cereal box) with all your daily values, etc. It also takes into account if you choose a lot or a little of certain items,, so its quite accurate.

Hope this helps!

i goto wendy's somtimes. I stick to the potatos with just chives a small amount of butter, a salad, chiken nuggets, and maybe some chili. Im still in my mass gain phase so i dont mind the extra calories/ fats. In my case i only go like once every 2-3 wekks so no biggie.

Dominoes Hawaiin Thin Crust Pizza is great, not greasy & not too much carbs compared to the regular pizza.

i may easily be mistaken, but I really don't think the atkins wrap at subway is a good way to go. Medium on carbs, high on fats. I mean if you're eating an atkins diet and you're not planning on eating anything but a 3 inch long OK tasting wrap, fine. Otherwise, as long as you're in subway you might as well get a sub

but doesn't that defeat the whole idea of an atkins diet? You get to eat lots, and if you eat a wrap your carb count is just about shot. I honestly don't know how many carbs it has off the top of my head, I don't keep track, but isn't it like 11 or something? Blah, you can spend your carbs better than that

and if you really want to eat like a pig Hardee's is the bomb. You'll pay for it for like a week, but damn it's worth it

The only fast food I have is Pizza and even then it's either fresh or frozen from a supermarket

Personally, I never have the need for it. I always prepare my meals in advance. I also have 'emergency' food with me at all times (in my car, in the glove box I have a baggie of protein powder, a small container of dry roasted chick-peas, a protein bar and a bottle of water.. I also carry the same thing in my back-pack). So if I am ever stuck, I have something I can snack on without a hassle.

If I am 'caught' then corner stores/supermarkets and 7-11's are great for picking up small meals such as apples/fruit, skim milk, cans/foil bags of tuna, little tins of chick-peas, tubs of fat-free yoghurt.... They generally have a reasonable selection.

Also, being in Sydney, sushi/japanese places are always handy (they are all over the place) and they sell a decent range of tuna, salmon or assorted sashimi which works as a perfectly acceptable meal as well (not to mention a really, really tasty meal too!! ). The authentic places that use proper short-grain japanese sushi rice are also ok for sushi rolls as well (as this rice is low GI - but it has to be the authentic sushi rice... normal short grain white rice has a GI similar to sugar).

Anyway - there are always option.

Here in the UK, McDonalds have gone and made their menu all healthy. While you can still get Big Mac and fries, they also do Premium Salads and a Chicken Flatbread which has 3g of Fat and 320 calories and they have even started selling fruit!

Burger King does a light Chicken Whopper (though it's about half the size of a normal Whopper, so the name is pushing it a bit!) and have also started to sell salads. Though their Ceaser Ranch salad has 46g of fat!
