Even when you plan to eat healthy, its easy to end up at a fast food place because its the only thing around and youre hungry, dammit. But does McDonalds have anything for a vegetarian to eat? Is there anything low carb at Starbucks? This cheat sheet can help.
For example, on a Mediterranean diet, you only have a few things to eat at McDonalds: a side salad, apple slices, or a Cutie (one of those tiny oranges). But Starbucks offers five items, including two delicious-looking salad bowls. Or say you dont eat meat: Wendys only has a few sides for you, but Taco Bell offers 14 different entre items stuffed with cheese, eggs, and beans.
The full analysis is here, sponsored by NetQuote. (They want you to come for the fast-food menus and stay for insurance quotes.) The chains they looked at are Chick-Fil-A, McDonalds, Starbucks, Taco Bell, and Wendys; the diets are vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian (vegetarian plus fish), Mediterranean, and low carb.
They define low carb as fewer than 16 grams of carbs, which may not be strict enough for all low-carb dieters (especially when were looking at Taco Bell, where 16 grams per taco is going to add up fast). So make sure to double-check labelsbut this is still a great starting point when youre stuck in a food court.
