EXCLUSIVE Healthiest items to order at fast food restaurants revealed

If you've been taking care of your body and working out, odds are 'protein' has become a huge part of your life (and vocabulary). While things like a grilled chicken breast and baked salmon are great sources of protein, realistically, you probably won't be cooking healthy, protein-packed meals every day of your life. And though you can always buy a salad, not everyone wants to have leafy greens every time they're eating out. Sometimes, you just need a cheeseburger. Balance is important - but so is staying on track with your goals. So if you absolutely need to get fast food - either because you're on the go, don't feel like cooking, or simply craving some - there are ways to tailor your order so that you're getting as much protein as possible in your happy meal (or whatever else). Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner and Holistic Nutritionist Chloë Ward told the Daily Mail that she advises her clients to discuss realistic, supportive choices for those times they just don't feel like cooking - or craving something salty. 'Cravings like this can be the body's way of signaling a need for more nourishment - especially protein, healthy fats, or quick energy - often after a busy or stressful day,' Ward explained. But she said that this can be done tactfully instead of just telling yourself 'avoid fast food.' 'From a functional perspective, we want to focus on blood sugar balance, lowering inflammation, and supporting digestion - even when convenience is the priority,' she said. 'The goal is to make fast food work with your body, not against it.' If you're craving Chipotle, Ward recommended going with a burrito bowl with double the protein (like chicken and carnitas). She said to also include cauliflower rice or white rice, fajita veggies, black beans, and guacamole. 'It's hearty, satisfying, and keeps blood sugar stable,' dished the expert. If Chick-fil-A is more your speed in the moment, Ward recommended the 12-count grilled nuggets with a fruit cup or the kale crunch side. 'Sometimes I'll tell clients to toss in some nuts or avocado they brought from home for extra staying power,' she shared. If you're more of a Taco Bell person, Ward advised getting a Power Bowl with extra chicken or steak, and to skip the beans and rice. 'You can keep the lettuce, cheese, salsa, and guacamole,' she said. 'This is a good balance of protein, fat, and fiber.' And advised against making it a 'meal,' so you avoid sugary drinks. When it comes to your favorite burger joints like Shake Shack or In-N-Out, Ward said it's essential to look for an option that has protein and not too many sauces. It's also a great idea to skip the bun and get your protein wrapped in lettuce instead. But at the end of the day, if you're really craving a meal, it's alright to go ahead and eat it - so long as you get back to your goals immediately after. There are also a lot of places to draw inspiration from. TikTok creators like @smallersam_pcos have built an entire platform on finding low-calorie high-protein meals you can get at any fast food chain - and still lose weight while eating them. 'The goal isn't perfection - it's helping clients feel empowered to make better choices that still feel good and taste good,' Ward concluded. 'You can absolutely support your health and still grab something from a drive-thru when needed.'
