No matter what diet plan you use, at some point you will find yourself faced with a hectic schedule and a fast food meal staring you in the face. The best solution is to seek out the fast food meal that won't break your diet. Keep in mind that, as with many things in life, the devil's in the details. A low-calorie salad suddenly becomes a fat-stuffed monster when you pile on creamy buttermilk ranch dressing, bacon bits, croutons, and cheese. So, don't forget to count the little "extras" when making your selections.

With that in mind, we researched every fast food chain restaurant we could think of to find the nutritional counts for their menu items. We found that most companies provide extensive nutritional information including calorie counts, fat counts, carbohydrate content, and protein content.
