CHICKEN DRIVE-THRU -

CHICKEN DRIVE-THRU

Chick-Fil-A

Popeyes

KFC

In the chicken drive-thru, the main thing to know is that the biscuits and breading are not your friend.

The second thing to pay attention to is the fact that many of these drive-thru's will have grilled chicken as well as salads.

Think: GRILLED PROTEIN + VEGGIES

This combination gives you protein, fiber, healthy carbs, and some fat (although it's not necessarily the good kind from drive-thru...), to keep you full longer and your blood sugar in check.

What you CAN order:

Grilled chicken on lettuce instead of the sandwich (load up the veggie toppings; mustard is great.)
Salads with grilled chicken (watch the toppings: nuts are usually coated in sugar) (Also watch the vinaigrettes, these sometimes have a lot of added sugars too.)
Vegetable sides (green beans, salad) {Coleslaw typically has lots of added sugars, so nix that.}
Fresh fruit
For breakfast options: Order burrito BOWL (no tortilla with grilled chicken, egg, bacon, or sausage option.)

What to AVOID:

Breaded and fried things
Sauces (sorry, but ketchup, BBQ, honey mustard and most dressings will have tons of added sugars and are made primarily out of soybean oil {inflammatory and GMO}.)
Veggies with added sauces (like coleslaw)
Mac N Cheese (made with white flour for pasta)
Biscuits
Breads
Croutons in salads
Nuts and dried fruits with added sugars
