Wendi's Chili is big on my list.  The Carl's Jr. broiled chicken sandwich is good...without the bun and scrape off the sauce.  I kept a can of chicken or beef vegetable soup in my car for just such issues early on.  I also keep a assortment of plain nuts and beef jerkey in the car too.  Also a good protein bar will help...and extra water.  Brian  PS  The KFC wrap (broiled) is a good choice...without the wrap part.

If you have an In-N-Out nearby... order the burger protein style (no bun) it's wrapped in lettuce. It's more than enough too!

I was just at an Arby's, hadn't been to one in over ten plus years... I ordered the small roast beef sandwich and tossed the bun. No issue with the bbq sauce... only used a little.

Starbuck's now has a protein lunchbox as well as adding protein to almost any beverage.

El Pollo Loco has a great chicken tortilla soup... this is one thing that went down easy in the beginning. And it was like $2 something.

I basically stay away from carbs as much as possible... hard to do w/fastfood.

My favorite fast food treat is at Jack in the Crack!! I don't know if you can eat steak yet though. It is the Sirloin Steak Melt. It is really tender pieces of steak, with cheese and grilled onions on sourdough bread. I take off the top piece of bread and then eat the steak and onions off of the bottom piece, but only eat a few bites of the crust of the bread. I just like to get all the cheese and onions though. It is soooo DELISH, but then I am a steak girl for sure!
I will also do mushroon swiss burgers without buns at BK, McD's, Wendy's or Carl's too. Most places will do the no bun and wrap it or place it on a bed of lettuce.
Most research shows that salads at fast food restaurants aren't a great choice, so I don't do salads there. I think hamburgers or grilled chicken sandwiches without the bun are better choices.

What? WHAT? What do you mean the salads aren't a great choice?

 I would think they're fine w/o all the fixins.. like the croutons, crunchies and dressing... get a light dressing?  or balsamic?  Without all that stuff, it's just a salad, right? 

I don't know about anyone else, but there are too many icons, lol  I sit and look for the one I want for like 10 minutes and STILL can't find it, lol
