Fast food may not come to mind when you think of protein-packed meals, but when you’re on the go with little time to spare, a quick trip to Chick-fil-A may be the most efficient and effective way to get your nutrition in. Chick-fil-A is one of the first quick-service restaurants to offer parent-friendly menus complete with a grilled entree and fruit cup. Whether you're looking out for your health or that of your little one, Chik-fil-A meets you wherever you are in your health journey.
Focus on fiber. Fiber helps keep you fuller for longer, minimizing snacking between meals. Unless you opt for a salad, it may be harder to up your fiber intake at Chick-fil-A. But every gram counts. Consider choosing a side, like the large fruit cup, that provides 4 more filling grams of fiber. Decrease added sugars. Another change in the recent Dietary Guidelines for Americans considers the amount of added sugars consumed daily. Current recommendations from the American Heart Association are even lower than the Dietary Guidelines, which limit added sugars to no more than 6% of total calories per day. This is about 6 teaspoons per day for women and no more than 9 teaspoons for men .
Order the Grilled Chicken Club Sandwich, sans cheese, to pump up the protein even more in your sandwich. This offers 4 more filling grams of fiber, but, unfortunately, with that extra protein also comes additional sodium. Unless you’re on a strict low-sodium diet, the additional sodium here isn’t something to worry too much about if you enjoy bacon on your sandwiches. Just be sure to make lower-sodium food choices throughout the rest of your meals and snacks that day.
