Fast good is great. You don’t have to cook after work, you don’t have to wash dishes, you get your food real quick. Nice and easy for those of us who want to die after a day in the life of capitalism. But it’s awful for you. Tons of sugar, tons of starches, extremely low fiber, zero veggies, massive portion sizes (sometimes), maybe even low quality ingredients. That’s no way to live. What if there was fast food that was both convenient and didn’t ruin your health and waistline? What kind of food would it be? What would it look like? Is it even possible?

You're looking for Taco Bell, beans are fiber, the oats that replace the meat are fiber, the Baja Blast provides motility.

Not only is it possible, it's probable. Just roll through a McDonald's drive through and order anything on the menu. You'll feel like a million bucks for merely a couple singles.

Subway is probably the closest you're going to get to healthy fast food, aside from ordering any of the lousy salads that are at all the major burger joints.

It's easy to not get too many calories at fast food places. Don't get fries, and don't get drinks. If you do only do it occasionally as a splurge.

There are tons of street style noodle joints pretty much anywhere you could possibly be living in and if not healthy at least they aren't massive empty calorie bombs like the burger stuff.

Also it’s not just calorie count. It’s vegetable content, carbohydrate content, micronutrients, fiber.

My holy grail is cheap AND healthy fast food or microwave dinners. Considering the economies of scale of buying and cooking in bulk vs buying individual ingredients and cooking for yourself I would hope such a thing was feasible, but alas.

I just buy a burger and eat it without the bun. You can get an Arby's roast beef in a bowl if you asked. There, a healthy tip from the lovable trash man Edgar.

Boston Market has some good rotisserie chicken and the sides are a-ok though you should probably get the sides by the bucket instead of getting a plate since they can be stingy with how much they give you.

Trader Joes used to have a good shelf-stable eggplant curry for $2, but it got replaced with something poo poo. (And yeah, sure, I could make more in one go and freeze it but then I'd have 10 meals of the exact same curry in the freezer, when I want to be able to have 10 different curries in the freezer.) Edit: I could get more curry-per-money from a takeaway place near my house in the UK than I can from a frozen food section in the US.

Is healthy fast food possible? Yes, but also, order the Mashed Potatoes by the 16 ounce bucket.

roomforthetuna posted:I'm always irritated by that. Like it's pretty easy to make a huge delicious curry, and it's a meal you can freeze without it losing its deliciousness, and it's easy to pack into a single serving container because it's shapeless, and it costs me about $2 in ingredients per person-meal, why the gently caress can't I buy really good frozen curries for like $1.50 a meal because economies of scale. Instead I can get kinda bad frozen curries for like $3.50 a meal for the most part. americans are scared of brown people food
