I am off my rocker today and Im declaring a cooking strike tonight! Its cold and crappy out and I want to go through the drive thru and not drag the kids in anywhere. My usual fast food pick is Subway but they are always super busy at dinner time and its annoying to stand there. I reallllly dont want to go to Mcdonalds. Any ideas? I cant think straight today! Thanks!!
Thanks a lot Jo! But my usual of 4 cheeseburgers and two orders of chicken rings are not on the diet plan this week!! ;)
Ooooh Amy, Jimmy Johns veggie is awesome!
I went to Taco Smell. :)
Thanks for the website Denise, that was helpful.
aw both my answers are already taken! Jimmy John's and Chipotle both have calorie counters on their websites. yay!
Find a Whole Foods or Better Health store. It isn;t a drive through, but you have to decide what you want: healthy or fast. You'll get healthy at WF or BH. You'll get junk at the drive through.
Are Arby's sandwiches any healthier than McD?? I'd get a veggie pizza delivered, nice and hot.
You have to get out of the car, but I love Chipotle :)
Chipotle - Ask for no rice, and you will have a fresh, kind of healthy meal.
Wendys - salads, baked potatoes, grilled chicken sandwich's.
Taco Bell - Chicken soft tacos or bean burritos. Very low cal.
Chick-fil-a - skip the fries and get a sandwich with fruit or coleslaw or a yogurt.
I thought my hubby and I were the only ones that called it 'Taco Smell' LOL
Boston Market has a drive through and is very tasty! We have Jimmy John's drive-throughs too, at some locations. If you want to get out of the car try Noodles and Company, Panera, Chipotle and Jason's Deli was a good suggestion too!
If you go Chinese, get something that is mostly veggies. Beef and broccoli is better than something that is mostly meat like orange chicken.
You can also ask if they do substitutes or get things like a wrap (Burger King used to sell them) and then not use the sauce.
Taco Bell has the 'healthy' Fresco menu. Chick fil a has some pretty healthy grilled chicken sandwhiches and yummy salads too. Do you have a Jason's Deli around there? I'm pretty sure it has a drive through. Chipotle too, but they also have long lines and no drive through.
White Castle!!!
Mwahahahahahaha
I love doing this to my office. You just say it and even the healthy people want to go. :)
Damn it was worth a shot. White Castle fascinates me. They make almost anyone ill yet you cannot resist the things. The afternoon fart fest is particularly fun. :p
Now I want them!!!
Wendy's has some yummy salads.
But I'm a sucker for Sonic's strawberry limeades and grilled cheese.

Chic-Fil-A and Boston Market. Although sometimes I find BM to be a little salty.
We do take out tacos. Can't get much healthier than rice and beans.
Pei Wei is good...you can order it online and it is always ready when you get there. You can even PAY online.
well its too late now and doubt you have it but I love pei wei. You can call in and pick up curb side.
When i lived in Detroit Mi i never had it but when i moved to WI i eat it all the time and that is JIMMY JOHNS i get the vegitarian YUM!
Boston Market.
Taco Cabana - you can buy a whole or half flameante chicken with tortillas beans and rice
You can call in an order for chinese to be picked up. or Panda Express if you have it.
BBQ joints usually have a drive through. You can get brisket and sausage.
Molly---I second the Taco Bell Fresco BURRITO. I work with 2 healthcare professionals that are 1 person advocating an optimal diet and the second is a vegan and uses diet as a prescription for healing from all kinds of diseases. They both are realists and know that in this day and age eating out is sometimes necessary. The Fresco Burritio is perfect...
Be careful, even with salads a these places. You'd probably cry if you looked at their nutritional profile. I try to avoid the dressings whenever possible, using olive oil and either lemon juice or a basalmic or fruit vinegar. Good luck...D.
