What's the healthiest fast food option?

Asked by Bob Nakamura — Apr 25, 2025 — Health Resolved

I eat fast food for lunch almost every day because of my work schedule. I know it's not ideal but I don't have time to prepare meals. What's the least unhealthy thing I can order at McDonald's or Subway? Are salads actually healthy or are they just as bad once you add dressing? Is Subway really as healthy as their ads claim?

My doctor told me the same thing and after doing my own research I agree with their assessment. The key is to look at peer-reviewed medical studies, not random health blogs or what your friend's cousin said. PubMed has actual research papers you can read.

My advice: don't self-diagnose using the internet. You'll convince yourself you have some rare terrible disease when it's probably nothing. I did this once and worked myself into a panic over what turned out to be a pulled muscle.

The evidence on this is actually mixed. Some studies show one thing, others show the opposite. When the science is unclear, I default to common sense: eat a varied diet, exercise regularly, get enough sleep, and don't stress too much about individual health fads.
