What to Order at the Drive Thru
Mar 18, 2025
Has this ever happened to you?
You're on a road trip, or with family or friends, or maybe it's a work trip - and you end up in the drive-thru lane...
Now you're left to try to figure out the least terrible option in just a few seconds.
Never fear! I have a few tips for you today.
The awesome news is that nowadays, it's easy to order a fast-food meal that:
- Tastes great
- Keeps you on track
- Doesn't leave you feeling regretful
But first, I've got a major motivator to help you make healthy choices...instead of falling back on old habits.
Think about how you'll feel an hour or two after eating.
Do you want to feel bloated, blah, and wondering what you did to yourself?
OR...
Do you want to feel energized and proud of yourself for following through on your healthy eating goals?
It's a no-brainer! :)
Quick & Easy Drive-Thru Survival Guide
- Focus on lean protein options like chicken or fish that's baked or grilled (not fried)
- At Mexican-themed restaurants, order "fresco style" dishes with pico de gallo instead of sour cream and heavy cheeses
- Say "yes" to salads but make sure they aren't loaded with cheese, sour cream and fried chicken - and choose olive oil for dressing
- Instead of fries, order a salad or veggie as your side
- Choose wraps instead of burgers with buns
- Avoid heavy sauces and mayo and stick with mustard and/or olive oil
- Remember that some items sound healthier than they are - like yogurt parfaits and turkey burgers
- When it comes to drinks, go for water, unsweetened iced tea, or black coffee to avoid artificial sweeteners and added sugars
If at all possible, have a game plan BEFORE you place your order!
Sometimes, just making the commitment to your coach can help you stay on track.
That way, when you're in a situation where you may not normally make the healthy choice, remembering that you've invested in yourself can remind you to think, "Wait! I can do better!"
When you're treating your body right, drive-thru food doesn't sound as good!
