Healthy fast food!

For college students, there are a lot of fast food restaurants around campus, such as Mcdonalds, Wendy's,  and Five Guys.  It is easier and cheaper for us to get food from this type of restaurants rather than some fancy ones. But how can we still keep healthy when you pick fast food restaurants?  Let me introduce some healthy fast food restaurants to you!  So you will have some more healthy choices when you go out.

Here are the top 5 Healthiest Fast Food Restaurants:

1. Panera Bread
http://www.panerabread.com/
A chain of bakery-cafe quick casual restaurants in both the U.S.A and Canada. It sells breads , sandwiches, soups, salads and bakery items. Healthy and fresh!  
My favorite: Fuji Apple Chicken Salad + Broccoli Cheddar Soup
Watch out: Sticky buns and cheese danishes are on display at the counter


2. Jason's Deli 
http://www.jasonsdeli.com/
Organic food: about one-fifth of all its ingredients are organic, from blue-corn tortilla chips and whole-wheat wraps to field greens and spinach. 
My favorite: Mixed-up Salad (You can make your own order!)
Watch out: High-sodium counts on some sandwiches; if sodium is a concern, stick to the ultrahealthy choices.

3. Au Bon Pain 
http://www.aubonpain.com/Serves up sandwiches, soups, salads, and hot entrees made with whole grains, veggies, and hormone-free chicken.It also provides on-site nutritional information.  You can make your own choice with knowing each dish's calories, fat, and sodium. 
My favorite: Turkey Club Sandwich
Watch out: The sodium counts can get high if you don’t pay attention.

4. Noodles and Company 
http://www.noodles.com/
Three food types: Asian, Mediterranean, or American. Tasty noodles!!  (Noodles lovers) 
Danger zone: The desserts. The only options are two kinds of cookies and a Rice Krispy Treat bar that checks in at 530 calories and 19 grams of fat!

5. Corner Bakery Cafe
http://www.cornerbakerycafe.com/home.aspxA fantastic breakfast! Quick, yummy and healthy!  
Suggestion: Farmer’s Scrambler: eggs scrambled with red and green bell peppers, red onion, mushrooms, potatoes, and Cheddar cheese. (Only 260 calories with egg white) 
Watch out: You have to go to their Web site to get nutritional info.

Hope you will have fun in all these healthy and yummy restaurants.  Be happy and healthy!
