I rank Subway number 1 in my book simply because of the options available there. They forget you control what you get on your sub, because in reality Subway has 6 inch subs that are only 190 calories... much lower than damn Chick-Fil-A.

Panera Bread
Healthy sides, whole grains, and free Wi-Fi can't offset oversized, calorie-loaded salads and sandwiches.
:confused: over sized sandwiches? The Panera around the corner from my house must be rippin me off then, cuz the sandwiches I get from there are tiny.

Trust, if you're getting a burrito loaded with the goods, that's basically over half of your calories for the day. Don't think that its remotely healthy.

Ok I read one of the most recent issues of Men's Fitness I believe.....might be the one with Matt Hughes(MMA fighter for UFC) on the cover.....
It ranks like the best thing to order at Fast Food joints and the worst one....I remember Chipotle being on their list.
Let me go and check my mags right quick and I'll get back...

I do the subway thing about twice a month and sometimes 2 - 3 times a week. As long as you don't go crazy with the toppings and sauces, you should be fine.
BTW, I never heard or seen Chick-Fil-A.

Subway, Wendy's and ocassionally Taco Bell. Hardly do I ever go out at sit-in restaurants, thats where the real calories are at with the 10 man portions. I'm suprised KFC got a C+, I was expecting at least a C- or a D.

Just about everything on the menu, stay away from the chicken terayaki though and the meatball subs too. Turkey is always a good choice I go with. I usually walk to any Fast Food joint I'm going to, so thats some calories shaven off.
how did Taco Bell get such a good grade, i always thought that was one of the worst places to get food...
why isnt Pollo Tropical on the list?!
Forget the grading, just order anything that has chicken breast and skip the fried stuff, mayo and sour cream and you're good.

:blush: @ the idea of femme's mouth wrapping around a rolled up tortilla deep throating as sour cream hits the back of her throat. *Cleans keyboard* Oh and Carmellady, I got the same hookup with my turkey breast :yes:

I love chick fil a and it got an A+. Calories don't matter to me though I just eat what's good cause I'm trying to gain weight. I wasn't surprised that much about McDonald's and Burger King, but I never eat at those places anymore. PF Chang's got a D but I love PF Chang's. I love there shrimp fried rice.
