11. Jack in the Box’s Southwest Chicken Salad
This salad, along with the Grilled Chicken Salad, Chicken Fajita Pita and Chicken Teriyaki Bowl are all solid low-carb choices according to Kathleen Kennedy, Jack in the Box’s Director of Culinary Innovation.
“These meals work since they are both flavorful and offer the right amount of balance and protein for those looking for a healthier, lower-carb option to still satisfy their cravings on the go,” she says. “And of course you can replace any of our Jack burgers or grilled chicken sandwiches with lettuce for the bun as a low-carb option.”
12. Taco Bell’s Power Chicken Bowl
“Fast Food (while not the healthiest option for eating a lower carb meal plan) can sometimes be the only option. If you’re going to do it … do it right,” says Katie Boyd (MS). She’s partial to Taco Bell’s Power Chicken or Power Steak Bowls, prepared with “no rice and no beans.” She’s also fond of the Fiesta Taco Salad sans tortilla strips.
