5. Carl’s Jr. Charbroiled BBQ Chicken Sandwich (33 grams of protein)
PER SANDWICH: 370 calories, 5 g fat (1 g saturated fat), 1,210 mg sodium, 49 g carbs (1 g fiber, 14 g sugar), 33 g protein
A fast food meal with only one gram of saturated fat is hard to come by, especially when it also contains 33 grams of protein as well. The amount of sodium in this Carl’s Jr. sandwich isn’t the best (it’s about half of the daily recommended max), but the calories, fat, and protein are hard to beat.
6. Chick-fil-A Grilled Market Salad (28 grams of protein)
PER SALAD: 370 calories, 31 g fat (6 g saturated fat), 1,020 mg sodium, 41 g carbs (5 g fiber, 26 g sugar), 28 g protein
If a salad with plenty of protein and vegetables is the route you want to go, try the Chick-fil-A Market Salad with grilled chicken. Its 28 grams of protein will fill you up faster and for a longer amount of time, but just keep an eye on the total fat, sodium, and sugar content. These levels are a bit on the higher end, but this salad is still a good choice when you need something quick, affordable, and high in protein.
