Best Chicken Sandwich

[Imran Siddiqui]

All I'm saying is that it's more unhealthy that anything else that is being listed in this thread.

[Guynemer]

Higher calories, yes. But it ain't fried, and if you have a little self-control, it's probably a better choice in the long run.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Just because something is fried doesn't automatically make it worse .

For comparison none of Chick-Fil-A's sandwiches are over 500 calories.

The Chipotle burrito is probably worse in the long run, but people think its healthy because, well, "it ain't fried" or whatnot. Not true.

Here we go:

1,179 calories
47 g fat
125 g carbs
2,656 mg sodium

Despite a reputation for using healthy, fresh ingredients, Chipotle's menu is limited to king-size burritos, overstuffed tacos, and gigantic salads—all of which lead to a humongous waistline.

Make Over the Menu: There are two ways to make a Chipotle burrito healthy enough to eat:

(1) 86 the rice and tortilla and request your meat, vegetables, and beans served in a bowl, or
(2) Bring a friend and saw the burrito in half.

Again, the complaint is the calories. Limit your intake the rest of the day, and you're golden.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Doesn't make it less unhealthy than the other chicken meals listed on this thread, which was my entire point.

And it isn't just calories (yes, it is half of the daily recommended value). The Sodium is 600 mgs ABOVE the daily recommended value. The carbs and far are also pretty high as well.

I like the Southwestern Chicken Sandwich at Chilis, next would be Chika-flicka (that is what we call it), but only cuz of the scenery.

[Jon Miller]

I thought the chipotle burritos were more like 2000 calories. Only 1200 isn't bad.

If people exercised a bit, that would be fine.

And 1200 calories is nothing compared to some of the meals you get served at the chain (or not chain) sitdown restaurants.

The sodium is a lot, but if you compare it to other things people eat (a bag of chips for example) it isn't bad.

Depends on the meal. You can avoid eating that many calories easily. After all, the Chipotle burrito was listed as the Men's Health Worst Mexican Food (just counting chains, I'm sure).

And of course most of the chicken sandwiches we are talking about are 500 calories... or less. The BK Thundercrisp, though, may be closer to 700ish.

Absolutely not true. Eating one large meal is FAR less healthy than eating multiple small meals, especially when it is a carb-full meal; you will end up hungry and snacking too much the rest of the day due to the carbs, and your stomach will grow too much, leading you to overeat in general (smaller stomach -> less desire to overeat). Every doctor or dietician I've ever seen recommends the 4-5 smaller meals, than 1000 calorie lunches

Also, a 1000 calory, filling lunch will make you torpid after lunch. Much harder to do work

Why?

Because instead of paying tomato pickers one lousy penny more per pound of tomatoes, they are using dirty tricks to try and undermine deals the farm workers already have in place with McDonald's and Taco Bell.

And what profession is Guynemer in again?

Through the various opinions expressed in this thread I've come to realize that fast food chicken sandwiches are the focus of evil in the universe and must be expunged.
