Ditch the Twister for a filling salad - 7 healthier fast-food swaps Web exclusive, September 2010

Ditch the Twister for a filling salad

If you find yourself in KFC and wonder if there is anyhting healthy on the menu, don't be tempted by the chicken wrap below; instead, go for a better-for-you salad with grilled chicken. You'll save 328 calories, 28 grams of fat (four grams of saturated fat) and 703 milligrams of sodium. That's because you avoid the wrap's deep-fried, breaded chicken and full-fat dressing.

 

Order a Tangy Caesar Salad with Grilled Chicken and Light Caesar Dressing (no croutons):
• 322 calories
• 9 grams of fat (5 of which are saturated fat)
• 1,117 milligrams sodium

 

Instead of the Crispy Chicken Strips Caesar Twister:
• 650 calories
• 37 grams of fat (9 of which are saturated fat)
• 1,820 milligrams sodium
