This restaurant is my meat and potatoes fast food restaurant. They have in my humble opinion the best healthy food choices of any fast food establishment, if you look at choices and quality of food (If you disagree, tell me whose better :-). Today, I am going to showcase my signature meal. The number 2 meal at Chik-Fil-A. The Number 2 is the meal to eat on the go. Here are the numbers:

The Number 2 with Fries: Calories 550; fat 19g; saturated fat 4.5g; trans fat 0g; chol 50mg; sodium 1420mg; carbs 68g; fiber 8g; sugar 8g; protein 31g

The Number 2 without Fries: Calories 320; fat 3g; saturated fat 1g; trans fat 0g; chol 50mg; sodium 1340mg; carbs 50g; fiber 5g; sugar 19g; protein 28g

I want to highlight something in these two choices. The fries significantly alter the health quotient of this meal. In a nutshell, replacing the fries with the fruit cup shaves 230 calories, 17 grams of fat, 1.5 of saturated fat, 80mg of sodium, 18 grams of carbs off the meal. Those are significant numbers and over the course of time can significantly impact your health and fitness goals. Now, while I say all of that. I usually order the fries. :-) Hey, I workout alot. Cut me a break. Well, thats it. I hope this was helpful. And as always, leave me some comments.

This coming valentines day, food of this kind should be served with no toxicity. It will be a valentines day worth remembering if this is the case.

Foods being ordered on fastfood chains are quite good but you have to eat on moderation. Unlike organic foods you could have lots of it. It's healthy and toxic free. I hope fastfoods could have organic foods in their menu.health

Nowadays, restaurants are already keen on what to give their customers. But there are some who exist for the sake of financial gain. It's better for us to do our own food or order from reputable food chains.

You can easily prepare this for yourself. And the most important aspect is: you know what you're putting and you know what's IN and what's NOT.

Sometimes eating delicious food is harmful. Too much oil causes heart attack in the long run. There are so many other illnesses to mention, and to sum it up; eat right to stay healthy and fit.

"...Remember, Stay Healthy!! Your Life Depends On It!!..." You hit the bulls eye, very correct. Staying healthy is very important and you can achieve it by eating the right food: only toxic-free and preservative-free.

Sometimes, we just tend to neglect about knowing the ingredients behind the mouth watering meals that we eat at fastfoods. But we shouldn't always be like zombies hungry for a munch, because we are responsible for our own welfare and sooner or later, the accumulated trans fat that we got from those spur of the moment delicacies will get back to us.

"Hey, I workout alot. Cut me a break." - Well worth it, mate! =) I personally find counting calories too tedious... Wish I can be as focused as you.

Yay for burgers!

There is really hatred in fried food because of health purposes unless the oil use is organic, pure like virgin olives and coconut.

Hi Patrick,

I work for Chick-fil-A and want to say thank you so much for the excellent post on the Chick-fil-A Chargrilled Chicken Sandwich meal and the link to our nutrition guide under your Dining Nutrition Guide tab! We love to hear when someone enjoys the tasty Chick-fil-A food, as well as appreciates the nutritious options we provide.

I want to also make sure you know that our menu is now completely trans fat free! Chick-fil-A has been cooking our core menu items in trans fat free peanut oil since the chain began over 40 years ago and we recently eliminated trans fats from all the items we serve - all the way down to our condiments.

Please feel free to contact me for more information or additional questions. Thanks again for being a Raving Fan Patrick!

All the best,

Ashleigh Speir
Public Relations Coordinator
Chick-fil-A, Inc.
