Chipotle values "Food with Integrity." They really try to offer food that is made from ingredients that are organic, family farmed and local whenever possible. They also use traditional preparations for the food (no short cuts). It might even seem as though you are back in mama's kitchen. You can build your own burrito, taco or salad from a buffet of ingredients. Just remember to go easy on the cheese and sour cream.
Subway

Well, we have all heard Jared's story of only eating Subway and losing tons of weight. I think that it was shocking to everyone that someone could lose weight eating "fast food." Subway has always done a great job of offering healthy choices that are prepared quickly and fresh though. They also have "Fresh and Fit Kids" meals that always include grains, veggies, fruit, a lean protein and a juice or milk. They are under 500 calories and low in fat and sodium. You can choose from turkey, ham, roast beef or the veggie delight.

Boston Market has always tried to make fast food seem more like home cooking with options like rotisserie chicken, turkey breast and meat loaf. Bring home one of their family meals and you might even pull it off as your own! They also offer several individual meals, which include 2 sides, for around 500 calories. Best of all, with the variety of menu options, everyone in the family will be happy.
