The Best Fast Food Options

Eating healthy on the road can be a challenge: What do you order from the sea of fast food choices? The last thing you need when you’re stuck in the car, not burning many calories, is something that leaves you feeling weighed down. So in honor of the summer road trip (and your waistline), we scouted out smart picks to make it easier to feel healthy on the go. They’re not exactly “health foods,” but they’re at least lower in fat and calories than most fast food—and they’re tasty, too. Now, if only we could find some cheap gas.
