Healthy Lunch Strategies

McDonald's
If you're really hungry, the Premium Grilled chicken sandwich is available at 420 calories and 10 fat grams. You can throw in a package of baby carrots and an apple from home. This meal totals somewhere in the neighborhood of 500 calories.

Subway
Not all Subways have a drive-through window, but some of them do. The choice of salads is great. They range from the Veggie Delite for 60 calories and 1 fat gram to the Subway Club for 160 calories and 4 fat grams.
If it's a sandwich you want, they offer a 6-inch turkey breast sandwich for 280 calories and 4.5 fat grams.
Subway's new mini subs (about 3 inches long) come in turkey, roast beef or ham and are all under 200 calories and no more than 3 fat grams.
Keep in mind that if you don't bring vegetables and fruit from home for lunch, you can still enjoy the suggested healthy food selections at your local drive-through restaurants. But for those of us who focus on eating foods rich in fiber and flavor every day, reaching for those fruits and vegetables on our way out the door helps us achieve our nutritional goals.
