The Drive-Thru Diet: Desserts

Jan17

drive thruTaco 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. As with most of the fast food fare, desserts are a horrible choice. However, McDonalds seems to have a few reasonable ways to satisfy your sweet tooth. Here are the healthiest of the dessert selections:

McDonalds

Fruit n Yogurt Parfait- 130 calories, 4g protein, 2 g fat (0 trans, 1g saturated), 0 fiber

Apple dippers with caramel- 105 calories,  0 protein,  .5 g fat,  0 fiber

Strawberry Sundae- 280 calories, 6g protein, 6g fat (0 trans, 4g satuarated), 1g fiber
