Taco Bell is promoting the drive thru diet. I’ve been wondering whether it is possible to come up with a week’s worth of healthy drive -thru meals. I downloaded the nutritional info from McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, Arby’s, KFC, Dunkin Donuts, and Taco Bell. I did not include fast food restaurants that are highly regional or those that do not normally have a drive thru window like Subway. For my healthiest breakfast selections. I was unable to find 7 reasonably healthy selections, but I did find 6 (although the McDonald’s sausage burrito is a bit on the fringe). Here they are:

Dunkin Donuts

Egg & Cheese on English Muffin  – 320 calories, 15 g protein, 13 g fat (0 transfat, 5g saturated), 2 g fiber

Egg White Veggie Flatbread-290 calories, 11 g protein, 9 g fat (0 transfat, 4g saturated), 3 g fiber

McDonald’s

Egg McMuffin-300 calories, 18 g protein, 12 g fat (0 transfat, 5g saturated), 2 g fiber

Fruit n Yogurt Parfait with Granola- 160 calories,4 g protein, 2 g fat (0 transfat, 1 g saturated), 1 g fiber

Sausage Burrito- 300 calories, 12 g  protein,16 g fat (.5 transfat, 7g saturated), 1g fiber

Burger King

Whopper Jr. No Mayo- 290 calories, 15 g protein, 12g fat (4.5 saturated), 2 g fiber
