Best Choices for Take-out

So I know I'm visiting my dad today & I just know we're going to end up eating take-out... So I thought I would go through the calorie content for each item for various take-out places & record the 'healthiest' (least-fattening) choices ---aka the ones that come in under 350 calories.

Red Rooster
  • Fish Burger
  • Skin-free wrap
  • Skin-free burger
  • Garden Salad
Subway
This is more difficult however choices such as ham, vegetarian & chicken strips are the way to go. The main thing is to get:
  • No sauces
  • No cheese
  • Wheat bread
Only then will these choices actually come in at under 350 calories

McDonalds
  • Fillet-O-Fish Burger
  • Seared Chicken Snack Wrap
  • Cheeseburger
  • 6 Chicken Nuggets
Hungry Jacks
  • Cheeseburger
  • Tendercrisp Asian Chicken Salad
Only two items under 350 calories is a bit disappointing but I do love their asian chicken salad so that's alright with me.

KFC
  • 6 Chicken Nuggets
No other (main-menu) item at KFC is under 350 calories and let's be honest --- who would eat only 6 chicken nuggets?

Dominoes

  • 2 slices of vegetarian pizza with thin or classic crust & one piece of garlic bread
Pizza is clearly not a very good choice.


None of these are actually healthy of course when compared to cooking your own healthy food at home.
