It’s lunch time and your stomach is rumbling louder than ever. You skipped out on breakfast, didn’t bring a snack with you in your bag, and you’re starving to the point where, as class finally lets out, you know exactly where you’re going to go to lunch: Chick-fil-A. The real, and most important question is: What are you going to get? What you eat for lunch can really affect how you feel, how you progress, and how focused you remain throughout the rest of your day. Check out a few of these swaps and surprises that you can find and make at Chick-fil-A to remain full and focused for the rest of the day.
Simple Swaps:
Instead of: Chicken Caesar Cool WrapTry: Chargrilled Chicken Club SandwichWithout mayonnaise, breading, or an overload of bacon, swapping the chicken salad sandwich for the chargrilled chicken club sandwich can save you over 100 calories, 5 grams of fat, and roughly 200 milligrams of sodium.
Instead of: Chicken, Egg and cheese on a sunflower multigrain bagelTry: Chick-n-minis (4)With nearly half the sodium and 6 grams less fat, you’re doing yourself a favor by swapping out the multigrain bagel. Don’t let the name fool you– “multigrain” may sound healthy, but it could still be just as bleached, processed, and refined as any other slice of bread out there, just with more than one type of grain added.
This or That:
