6 Fast Food Items You Can Eat and Still Lose Weight

1. Dunkin’ Donuts

Sliced Turkey Breakfast Sandwich
At only 310 calories and delivering 25g of filling protein, these breakfast sandwiches will keep you going all day long.

2. Einstein Bros. Bagels

Thintastic Chicken Pesto
With 350 calories and 37g of protein, this bagel sandwich is a gem for when you’re trying to stay on your diet. It tastes like a treat too.

3. Pret-A-Manger

Cucumber and Line Caught Tuna
Pret serves its pole and line caught skipjack tuna with mayo, spring onions, chopped capers, a touch of anchovy paste and a squeeze of lemon. With slices of fresh cucumber, it’s a simple, classic baguette. At 440 calories and 19g of protein, it’s a good choice for lighter days.

4. Baja Fresh

Baja Esalada
Consisting of romaine lettuce, ripe Roma tomatoes, Cotija cheese, freshly made pico de gallo& tortilla strips, and topped with your favorite protein and choice of dressing, this is potentially the lightest item on the list. With shrimp, it comes to 280 calories and 24g of protein. This is so skimpy you can even have a small side of pinto beans and still reach your caloric goals for the day.

5. Panera Bread

Power Chicken Hummus Bowl
Panera recently took it off its secret menu and made it available to anyone. With 33g of protein, 330 calories and 110% of your RDA of Vitamin A and 20% of your RDA of iron, it is basically the perfect lunch.

6. Applebee’s

Savory Cedar Salmon
With a higher fat content than is ideal, this one is a treat – not something to nosh regularly. But at 520 calories and 45g of protein, it’s better than any other dinner you’ll find on the menu.
