These are actually fast food choices for KIDS meals from Dr. Oz, but I thought they worked beautifully for us!  I often order the kids meal anyway, but now I know the calories.  Just FYI.

1. Subway: Roast Beef Kids Meal; the sandwich (hold the cheese) on whole-wheat bread; apple slices; 100% juice
Calories: 335 (9 from sat fat); sodium: 515; healthy stuff: whole grains, fruit, calcium

2. Burger King: Kids macaroni and cheese, apple fries (skip the caramel sauce), fat-free milk
Calories: 285 (14 from sat fat); sodium: 490 mg; healthy stuff: calcium, fruit

3. KFC: Grilled chicken drumstick, corn on the cob, unsweetened tea, string cheese
Calories: 270 (23 from sat fat); sodium: 545 mg ; healthy stuff: vegetables, calcium

4. Sonic: Corn dog, apple slices, low-fat milk
Calories: 355 (45 from sat fat); sodium: 660 mg ; healthy stuff: fruit, calcium

5. McDonald's: Plain hamburger, apple dippers (without the caramel sauce), low-fat milk
Calories: 385 (45 from sat fat); sodium: 645 mg ; healthy stuff: fruit, calcium

6. Panera: Kids Roast Beef Sandwich on whole grain bread (no cheese), fresh apple, reduced-fat milk
Calories: 450 (45 from sat fat); sodium: 650 mg.; healthy stuff: whole grains, fruit, calcium

Thanks for info. I have not yet had surgery, but am trying to implement healthier eating habits so that the transition will not be too drastic. I love KFC! Now I can enjoy my meals without extra calories or any guilt.

Thanks Vickie.....good choices.

I don't eat bread or pasta so most of these will be out for me. I can't eat apples either...my pouch doesn't like them. I am very picky and won't eat that kind of roast beef either. I saw it processed once. Makes my stomach turn.

Nice of you to post this for others.

HUGS.....connie d

 Thanks for posting this.  I don't eat much fast food, but when I do, I try to make wise choices.  This gives me some insight into how I can expand my choices.

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

My husband loves Sonic.  He always wants us to stop there whenever we're travelling across Texas.  I always sit there and wonder "what, oh what, can I possibly eat here?"  Now I know something I can try.  I wish Dr. Oz had posted the protein values for all of these meals.

Vickie-  Let's send an email to Dr. Oz and ask him to post protein and carbs then I'll feel better.  I bet some of these are on myfitnesspal.com too.  At sonic I'd get the hot dog and not eat the bun.

Cindi,

I tried that once.  I couldn't get it down.  Haven't tried the corndog yet.  Usually I end up just eating small bites off of his hamburger, but that doesn't always sit too well either.  But those damn tator tots seem to go down just fine.  Ha!
