Healthier Fast Food Options for Road Trips
If you’ve been road-tripping it this summer, you’ve definitely run into a few fast food chains. It may be difficult to eat smart while you’re making pit stops along a pretty sparse stretch of highway, but here are some healthier options you can choose when faced with a drive-thru.

Wendy’s: Their menu isn’t just square burgers—it also includes a variety of salads, fruit and chicken options. If you’re looking for a healthy combo, the Ultimate Chicken Grill Sandwich or a Grilled Chicken Go-Wrap with Chili or a Side Salad and drink, clock in at only 550 calories!
If you’re calorie-conscious and on a budget, save money for gas and go for the Crispy Chicken Sandwich with a small Garden Salad and a drink for only $5. Craving a Frosty? Calm your sweet tooth with a Chocolate or Vanilla Frosty and pair it with a Chicken Go-Wrap or small order of Chicken Nuggets—you’ll still feel satisfied without having to order the fatty burger-and-fries combo.
Want more options? Love that Wendy’s has a “find a meal for around 550 calories” app on their site, which includes combos like “I have to have fries,” “I want to spend around $5,” “I want a Frosty” and “I want a Combo.”

Post a Commenti get Burger King’s veggie patty if i have to eat there- it’s pretty good and not too awful for you.
i really do like subways as a healthy fast food stop but as with ne fast food you still have to be aware of your choices
Very Usefull
Well, I never worry about calories. I’m 20 and skinny (so far), but I am sure one day I will have to start eating better. Right now, I need to focus on being healthy, not always calorie count.
I really love eating at places unique for wherever I travel. The mom & pop diners, or the ones the locals go to, or the places the city is known for!
my husband’s in the military so we move periodically and are without kitchen stuff for awhile. These will help a lot so when we are stuck eating fast food we can still try to make good choices.
I don’t eat fast food often, but the foods you’ve described here sound delish. On road trips i typically pack my own.
WENDYS ASIAGO RANCH SPICY CRISPY CHICKEN SANDWICH IS THE BEST!!!
Wendys would be my choice
cool:)
It’s really hard to eat right when your on the road! I never knew that wendy’s had that app! that’s nice that they have something to help out those of us that want to eat healthy.
always bring bars, Luna or other to fend off the hungry horrors
thanks for the read

I like Wendys looks best. Or that McDonald’s parfait.
I love smoothies, and the circle k stores now have a machine for freshly blendly smoothies with real fruit. They also have milkshakes and coffee drinks.
I love being able to grab a salad with light dressing when I’m on the road. It’s a great article because sometimes its tough not to fall into getting fast food, that’s unhealthy.
Love Wendy’s!
Quizno’s is great for a healthier option. I love their salads.
We don”t really stop at fast food places. We usually just bring food with us in a cooler
Those taco bell choices I would eat.
I would pass on the salads.
I would eat the Wendy’s chicken wrap.
