Burger joints and pizza parlors get a bad rap, but you can find healthy options anywhere-if you know how to navigate the menu. That's why we've created our Grab-and-Go Guide below. We've got the best (and worst) picks from a dozen popular restaurant chains, and we promise there's more than just salad to choose from!

We have been recently updating and expanding our Fast Food Nutrition guide. This guide tells you specifically what the low calorie options are at multiple fast food restaurants including Burger King, Chipotle, McDonald's and Subway, as well as other chains including Starbucks. (Insider tip, ask for non-fat milk and save 50 calories instantly.)

Fast food is the term given to many items that can be prepared and served quickly. While any meal with low preparation time can be considered to be fast food, such as TV dinners, typically the term refers to food sold in a restaurant or store which is rapidly prepared and served to the customer in a packaged form for take out/take away.Outlets may be stands or kiosks, which may provide no shelter or seating, or fast food restaurants (also known as quick service restaurants). Franchise operations which are part of restaurant chains have standardized foodstuffs shipped to each restaurant from central locations.The capital requirements to start a fast-food restaurant are relatively small, particularly in areas with non-existent or poorly enforced health codes. Small, individually-owned fast-food restaurants have become common throughout the world. Fast food restaurants with higher sit-in ratios, where customers can sit and have their orders brought to them, are known as fast casual restaurants.
