The Best Chick-Fil-A Meal, According To A Dietitian
By BRIANNA CORLEY
Registered dietitian Summer Yule has created the perfect recipe for a satisfying and healthy meal at Chick-fil-A. While all her entrée suggestions include the chain's signature grilled chicken products, the dietitian offers several ways for consumers to build tasty and nutritious Chick-fil-A orders.
Yule provides three entrée options for a protein-rich main course: the market salad with spicy grilled filet (28gm protein & 540 cal), the grilled Chick-fil-A sandwich (28gm protein & 380 cal), and the eight-count grilled chicken nuggets (25gm protein &130 cal). However, if you want a low-sodium entrée item, go for the grilled chicken nuggets.
For the nutritious side, Yule recommends fruit cups or almond-dusted kale crunch salads, with “fat-free honey mustard dressing, light balsamic vinaigrette, and light Italian” salad dressing. For low-sugar drinks, opt for diet lemonades, while the sugar-free options are “unsweetened tea, bottled water, coffee, or milk.” Finally, for desserts, the Icedream cup is the recommended low-cal option.
