Healthy FAST FOOD Meal Options: High Protein + Low Calories

[@ryanfrasor9403]

Chick Fil-A brines their chicken in pickle juice which keeps it from drying out. This trick is a game changer for meal prepping chicken breast and keeping it moist. 10/10 recommend

[@DeathByPineapp73]

Do you brine it over night or what? I wanna try this out

[@Samwatson05]

So not to be that guy but from my experience working there we never did that. At least not at my location.

[@jeremyforresttalley145]

​@@Samwatson05I second that. Worked at one for almost 5 years while in college and we never did that. It was just frozen Tyson chicken breast that were thawed out overnight then breaded.

[@AriDrag]

This is hugely helpful for traveling! Thank you!

[@AndiDuranDean1234]

Did you read my mind? This video is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks so much for providing content on a regular basis that allows us to follow a reasonable diet even when traveling or having a lazy Sunday.

[@ProtoMarcus]

The reason the kCal content of the Chick Fil-A salads are so high is because of the toppings and dressing _(and also the ''protein'' choice - the fried chicken strips have more fat and carbs in them than the grilled chicken option)_ For example, - The Grilled Market Salad w/ Grilled Filet contains 540 kCal, and from that 540 total, - The Zesty Apple Cider Vinaigrette Dressing contains by itself 230 kCal spread through 19g fat, 15g carbs and 0.2g proteins. Remove or change the dressing and you can reduce the kCal content down to nearly 310 kCal that includes 12g Fat, 26g Carbs, *_28g of proteins_* When McDonald's still offered Salads _(seems they removed them since 2020!)_ I'd often go with the Greek Variety, Grilled Chicken, and go for the Balsamic Vinegar dressing - it was very rich in proteins, moderate in fats and low in carbs, on top of having lots of fiber. Most of the fat and carbs were in that dressing, but that dressing was the ''healthier'' dressing out of all of them, with the Caesar dressing being the worst

[@hughmungus7425]

You can usually (depending on the location) order beef patties by themselves. What I'll do is order a McDouble (McDonald's cheapest burger) and 3 or 4 additional patties on the side. Still not an ideal meal but works in a pinch.

[@june2420111]

As someone who traveled a lot for work, I was always stuck with airport food. So this is really helpful.

[@kathleensoyza4337]

This is fantastic guide to make better choices if we had to eat fast food when there are no other options.

[@patriciag6127]

I definitely learnt something. This was so helpful and a skill that will stay with me for life. Thank you.

[@bryndrson8289]

Chickfila and Chipotle are by far the best fast food options. You can also do an unwich at Jimmy Johns or protein style at in n out.

[@JohanFitFoodie]

Overall calories and protein certainly are key, just keeping these in mind allows for a more flexible fun life 😊 That's how I enjoy Chinese food here in China too without overeating 👌 Greetings from a Swede in Beijing 🌆☀️

[@darnitthelma4247]

If order takeaway (UK) i tend to go for the chicken kebab. I love it, feel satiated & never feel guilty or get that food hangover/bloat. Win win!

[@BryanSmith-ew2ye]

Thank you this was super helpful! I love that you acknowledge that it is okay to have junk food but to be smarter about. Most people say to stay away from it but realistically u crave it and cannot stay away

[@memoirsofiy7983]

Brilliant, please do more of fast food healthy options 👏👏

[@bresmith843]

I absolutely love this video! I think fast food is so confusing about what’s healthy and everyone assumes vegetarian options and salads are always the healthiest which isn’t true. I also eat Chick-fil-A a lot because I’m really busy and let’s be real it’s delicious. My go to order used to be the sandwich meal with fries and a sweet tea and I would use Chick-fil-A sauce. I now order just a water and a sandwich with no sauce and I’ve lost weight without even trying or feeling deprived.

[@liyev]

I had no idea Chick-fil-A make grilled chicken. When I travel, I just try to avoid them because I thought they only make fried chicken.

[@anochwhitfield1805]

Magnus, I really enjoyed and appreciated this video! As always, awesome and informative!

[@michaelsanders6518]

Thank you for doing this video. My sugar is a bit high, almost borderline, so I am kicking up the healthy eating and exercise. Although I didnt' eat fast food alot, I do like having it every once in a while. I did have the grilled nuggets and the fruit salad as well a week ago, it was so good. You are right, life is about balance.

[@lanegardinier760]

``A McDonald's 'solution' I use sometimes is getting two Hamburger Happy Meals then put both burger patties on one un to make it a double burger, I choose the apple slices instead of fries and get milk instead of a soda, I feel pretty good with this meal, and it's filling.Taco Bell used to offer a 'fresco' version of their foods, which was only made by special request as I recall, this means they leave off any fat-filled sauces, so it's just the basic ingredients.

[@bresmith843]

Would love to see a video on smoothie restaurants like Tropical Smoothie Cafe or Smoothie King. So many of them are 500 calories of sugar and people think that they’re really healthy.

[@oakley6387]

The calorie count on the salads at chick-fil-a include the chicken nuggets, dressing, and tortilla chips/peppita seeds. If you are doing the salad alone, you’re probably around 350-400 calories. I travel for work a lot and these salads are one of my go-to. If you add the nuggets and a healthy dressing, you sit at around 600-700 and it’s much more filling than their sandwiches and/or nuggets alone.

[@JakeEllison94]

The grilled nuggets with buffalo sauce and fruit cup is a great option and tastes so good

[@cassanova9322]

Hey Magnus,can you please show us how you make your ginger,lemon and Cayenne pepper shot?there are so many recipes online it's confusing.

[@mmlg24]

This was a lot of fun. The most fast food we ever do is subways. But good to know that fast food restaurants have become more health conscious offering better options.

[@milomateer6565]

You should do a part 2! I live in Europe and the only chain in this video that I can get is McDonalds. You should do Burger King, Subway, and other big chains that aren’t just in America

[@nickiford9464]

Thanks for the reminder on the salad. Those cals are for the creamy salsa dressing and all the toppings. I used to get the fat free balsamic with the Southwestern salad but will definitely be rethinking this as the toppings are 150 cals for those strips and pepita seeds. Not worth it in my opinion. Probably get the 12 count of grilled nuggets and fruit salad in future. Thanks Magnus! Great content

[@andres-d933]

Substitute breaded nuggets in Cobb salad with grilled nuggets and you need up with a filling low calorie , high calorie salad

[@darcyungaro8088]

I just always try to go for no fries.. or drinks, and a big thick burger.

[@texassports6562]

Greek yogurt parfait with or without the granola is fantastic as well

my go to when eating fast food is always the chick fil a market salad and ill toss in 8 piece grill nuggets on top. low cal dressing.

[@Sevendandra]

When I worked at chick-fila, I'd order the cobb salad but substituted the fried nuggets with grilled nuggets.

[@spartancrown]

Chick-fil-a you can get the nuggets un-marinated for less sodium as well.

[@speaksrashawn]

A Chick-fil-A salad calorie count is a bit excessive, but keep in mind Most of that comes from the dressing. If you change your dressing, you can keep your salad around 400 calories.

Loved this! Gave me some great ideas when I get out of work late and am too tired to cook. Why did you not include cheese on the burger, personal preference or nutrition reason?

[@darnitthelma4247]

It’s a horrible fake cheese they use. Lots of saturated fat rather than the high protein stuff

You could still eat the salads at Chick-fil-A but just don’t use all the dressing. THAT is where the calories are at because of all the oil in it

You could buy 2 double cheese burgers and take the Pattie’s out of one and put it in the other and bam 40g of protein! Hehe

I wish I could set this up to play everytime I click on DoorDash. Some of my go to while traveling though are Wendy's grilled chicken sandwich meal with a small chili or Taco Bell grilled chicken soft tacos fresco style. Power menu isn't an option for the hours I'm usually going.

[@rsyncd]

Not enough fat and too much sugar and carbs, your body doesn't have calorie counters, it has hormone receptors, not only glucose (which all sugars and carbs are broken down to) triggers insulin but also protein, insulin can be good as long as you don't ingest more carbs than you can burn in a day... I wouldn't take food advise from this guy but his workouts seem to work 👌

[@mikel6787]

I'm so confuse about what to get from Taco Bell. I work a crazy crazy schedule in a hospital. Some times I won't eat lunch til 3pm or even later. And that's going into work at 6am. Taco bell is nextdoor. Other fast food is on the other side of the freeway. Traffic is horrible and I have at least an hour long commute. So Taco bell is my only option for a late lunch.

A healthy fast food option is continue driving past the fast food restaurant and instead go cook yourself a steak and asparagus. Unless it’s Chick-fil-A then eat everything off the menu

[@pepitalacoja3870]

Thank you so much for this information !! It was very importan for the people, like me, who spend more time living on the road than home. Surprise me the information about salads.

Hello sir, so I've been having this issue for a while which keeps bugging me all the time. Considering i am an intermediate in lifting, I just wanna know if there is difference between workouts which a professional does and an intermediate?

I’m sorry, respectfully, but if you are perpetuating these as “healthy”, you are misinforming the viewers here. A double burger from McD’s? With a processed bun and ketchup? Chicken nuggets with processed Chik Fil A sauce? Seriously? The healthier option is completely avoiding those places. All this does is help validate and enable poor food choices in people’s heads.
