I am constantly frustrated when we travel and don't want to stop for a long meal. Where and what can I eat that is fast food? I choose to limit myself to under 20 carbs for an items and eat no more than 45 carbs at a meal sitting. So here - from their websites - are some items that I can possibly eat. Wooohooo for me :)
McDonalds

Stay away from the BBQ, Honey Mustard and sweet and sour sauce - Ranch comes in at 2

Actually you can eat all of their chicken - all recipes - but only one piece if it's a breast but up to 3 for wings or legs and still be under the magic 20 grams of carbs.
Crispy Strips 3 - 17
Popcorn chicken Individual - 18
Original Recipe Bites 6 - 7
Double Down with Original Recipe Fillet - 18
All the salads are good - but stay away from the 'Hidden Valley' Ranch dressing and the croutons.
Okay sides are Green Beans - 4
Mashed Potatoes with Gravy - 19
Mashed Potatoes without gravy - 15
Macaroni and Cheese - 19
As far as sauces are concerned - stay away from the orange ginger, spicy chipolte and sweet and sour. These will push your numbers up to high. All the rest are acceptable.
You won't find Carl's Jr. here. I don't eat there. Personal protest against their horrible TV ads.
For a list it's not bad or atleast it's a start.
Enjoy!
Update:
Did Panda Express last night and numbers were horrible so went on line to check. Okay, so the sweet fire chicken is not a good idea (53 carbs) but I can have kung pao, broccoli beef and black pepper chicken. And, of course, I can have all the veggies I want. But definitely no rice. And it doesn't matter in what form either (steamed or fried). No, No and No!
