Re: found this on the net - 23 Ways to Keep Fast Food in Your Diet (& still be healthy)

What you should skip is the buns and fries. Best LC fast food buy today is
KFC's broiled Double Down, a bit of cheese, a thin slice of bacon between
two chicken breasts. Tasty and very LC.

| choose broiled or roasted chicken as your protein source, skip the
| croutons, and ask for the low-fat dressing -- then only use half.

| 2. Skip the cheese. Craving a hamburger? That's okay -- just get a
| plain hamburger without the cheese. For instance, at McDonald's, that
| saves you 50 calories, 40 of them from fat, and 2 grams of saturated
| fat.
