It is sometimes impossible to meal prep!
An uncommonly busy day occurs, or we are traveling on the road, or you just feel sick and don’t have the energy.
It’s ok to have a little fast food here and there. But just because you are having fast food, doesn’t mean you have to ruin your macros! 🧐
Here is a great article about some high protein options from fast food places! This article includes places like: 👇
McDonald’s
Chick-Fil-A
Chipotle
Starbucks
Taco Bell
And more!
In a perfect world, we’d cook an elaborate spread for every meal. But fast food is sometimes the only option.
Parker’s Breakdown: Fast Food Options 🍟
Now you all know how I approach fitness from a holistic standpoint.
I try to eat only whole foods, that have limited amounts of chemicals in them and come from good sources!
But as we all know, life comes up, and it makes it nearly impossible to meal prep 100% of the time. So I never want to give off the persona that I’m perfect and I eat perfect 24/7 and always have time to meal prep, because I don’t.
I’m a big believer in the 80/20 rule. So 20% of the time I will have fast food or something not “whole” from a restaurant.
So with that being said, I’m going to give y’all some of my go to fast food options to still stay in check with my macros while eating out!
My high protein options: 👇👇
Chick Fil A
12 Count grilled nuggets w/ buffalo sauce: 210 cals, 34.5 g protein
Grilled Chicken Cool Wrap w/ light italian dressing: 355 cals, 38 g protein
Grilled chicken sandwich w/ bbq sauce: 410 cals, 29 g protein
Chipotle
Any bowl w/ double meat and get the rice, beans, and toppings according to your goal
Ex.) Bulking bowl - Double rice, double beans, double steak, guac, sour cream, cheese, corn, tortilla on the side, vinaigrette on the side (pour half of bowl into tortilla and eat like a burrito and pour vinaigrette for extra cals)
ex.) Cutting bowl - Single rice, no beans, double chicken, veggies, pico, salsa, lettuce
Jersey Mikes
#56 Big Khuna Giant (or #55 if you want chicken) - 1530 cals, 96 g protein (good for bulk)
Panda Express
Bowl w/ white rice and grilled teriyaki chicken: - ~650 cals, 40 g protein
These are just a couple of my go-to’s. Hope these help!
