Chick-fil-A: A Healthy Choices Guide




Chick-fil-A is probably one of the healthiest fast food chains ever! I’ve been continuously impressed with the healthier selections at this place. If you're ever in a hurry and your driving through the gamut of fast food restaurants, look to this place for the healthiest options. I've gone through the menu and have chosen my favorites and other great low-cal options. And yes, Icedream cones are involved! 

Here are my picks:

-Diet lemonade! Small = 15 cals
-GRILLED NUGGETS! 4 count = 80 cals, 6 count = 110 cals
-Multigrain oatmeal =140 cals w/out topping (290 cals with)
-Fruit cup Medium= 70 cals
-Multigrain bagel = 220 cals (no cream cheese)
-Chargrilled chicken sandwich = 290 cals (they serve their sandwiches on wheat buns!!! Just ask and make sure they use them.)
-Chargrilled Chicken (or spicy chicken) Cool Wrap= 410 cals (no dressing) In my opinion, it doesn’t really need it!


-all salads except the Chicken strips salad. All three are 250 cals or under! No granola, croutons, tortilla strips, or sunflower seeds.
-Dressing picks*: Fat free honey mustard (YUM!), reduced fat berry balsamic, light Italian
*The nutritional facts are on the back of the container. Make sure you pay attention to serving size!
-Side salad = 70 cals
-Chicken soup = 140 cals
-Icedream cone (small) = 170 cals
