Healthy Fast-Food in Sedalia

1. Arby's

Okay okay, so it doesn't look like that.  We're talking about the slider. You could grab a roast beef slider with Swiss cheese on a mini bun for just 167 calories.

2.  Subway

If you're looking for lower-calorie options at Subway, you might want to try the Veggie Delite six-inch sub, which has just 220 calories. You can even turn it into a salad for only 50 calories if you're in the mood for something lighter! For a great nutritional boost, check out the oven-roasted turkey protein bowl. It’s packed with delicious veggies and has the same amount of turkey as a footlong sub, but without the bread. This filling meal has only 150 calories and gives you a fantastic 60% of your daily vitamin A needs, all without any dressing or cheese.

3.  Taco Bell

To enjoy your food Fresco-style, request fresh pico de gallo instead of dairy and mayo sauces. This change lowers the calorie count of your crunchy taco from 170 to 145 calories.

4.  Panera Bread

A bowl of Ten Vegetable Soup contains only 100 calories. However, if you opt for the bread bowl version of this soup, the calorie count rises to....well, a lot.  Like over 700. Generally, soups are lower in calories than salads at this establishment. Another excellent option is the Homestyle Chicken Noodle Soup, which has 150 calories.

5. Jimmy Johns

The Slim 4 Unwich features turkey wrapped in crunchy lettuce. If that sounds a bit dull or unsatisfying, you can upgrade to the Turkey Tom Unwich, which has added lettuce, tomato, and mayo for just 250 calories. If you prefer bread, the same fillings are available in an 8-inch French roll, which has just under 500 calories.

6. KFC

Did you know that swapping Original Recipe Chicken for Kentucky Grilled Chicken can cut your calorie intake by about half? It’s pretty impressive—just 80 calories for a drumstick and 70 for a wing! And to make your meal even better, you might want to add a delicious serving of green beans on the side.

So at least now you'll know a bit of what to order so you can keep it a little bit more on the healthy side, even if you can't be perfect every meal.

Fast-ily yours,
