There’s no need to restrict yourself from getting fast food when you find yourself in a time crunch or traveling in the car just because you’re on a wellness journey. This is a great guide to have on hand when you are planning a vacation or a family road trip and find yourself having to stop for fast food.
It’s easy to plan ahead by using the WW app, iTrackBites app or My Fitness Pal to search for fast food options that gives you the Smart Points values and/or calories of various menu items. Planning ahead and knowing the point values of the menu items will allow you to make good fast food choices.
Here are a few of my favorite low point fast-food restaurants and some low point menu items that you may find useful during your wellness journey.
The Smart Point values are for the current MyWW program.

Thanks
This is great .. thank you so much for taking the time to research all of this.
Hi Mary Anne,
You’re very welcome!! I hope you find it useful on your journey.
Have a great day!
Linds
This is so Awesome !! Thank you
Well appreciated!!
Thank you for putting this together.
Hi Lynette,
You’re super welcome! Hope you find it useful.
Have a wonderful day!
Linds
This is going to be so helpful while on 2 trips I’ll be taking in the near future! Thank you so much!
Hi Beverly,
That is so great to hear! I agree, it’s great to plan ahead and know exactly what the low point menu items.
Enjoy your upcoming vacations!
Thank you, Lindsay!
If the WW app is correct if you only used half a packet of dressing, then the McDonald’s Bacon Ranch Salad with grilled chicken is only 5 points and with the breaded chicken is 6 points. The thing is that McDonald’s doesn’t have that salad on the menu board for some reason, but you can ask for it and 9 times out of 10 they have it. The main difference between the two salads is the little packet that they give you with the dressing and stuff.
Thank u for this! Im in school and work 2 jobs so im constantly on the go! This is immensely helpful!
This is super helpful! Thank you so much for putting it together. Regarding the Panda Express veggie egg roll…do you know if the points are per egg roll or per order (I think you get 3 in an order?)
Hi Mary,
You’re very welcome. Glad you find it helpful.
Yes, so according to the ww app the Panda Express egg rolls are 3 point per roll (not per serving.)
Hope that helps!!
Thanks so much,
Linds
Hey Linds! Just an FYI- I eat Wendy’s large chili at least once a week and the point value per the app is 4, not 5. Thank you so so much for EVERYTHING you do!!!!
Hi Alyson,
I know, I eat it quite often myself and it looks like ww may have changed the point value for the large Wendy’s Chili. While I was researching the point values for this post-I went on to the ww app it came up as 5 points now.
Try it and let me know if you’re getting something different as of right now on your ww app.
Thank you
I pulled it up before I posted my comment just to make sure and it came up as 4. I just checked again and it’s still showing as 4 for me.
Actually, I just realized if you go to the restaurant menu it comes up as 5, but if you type it in, like I have been doing, it comes up as 4. How weird???
Have you updated your app? Mine changed to 5 points when I updated the app in both spots (typing it in and the restaurant guide)
That is strange! That is what happens to me with the Chick-Fil-A fruit cup!
Wow – Just what I was looking for before we travel this spring and summer. Thank you so much! I love your website and recommend it to all my friends at WW.
This is GREAT!!!! Thank you SO much. Everywhere one looks, any one of these fast food places is there and it’s just so tempting to stop but I always pass by because I don’t want to “overkill” my points. You have now made it easy for me because there are so many choices 🙂
Hi Denise,
Thank you for your comments and feedback! I am so happy to hear that you’ll be able to use this post as a reference!
Have a great day!
Linds
Thank you, this is very helpful! Don’t know what I would do without your recipes!! You are awesome. 🙂
Just had a large chili from Wendy’s for dinner. I added diced onions from home and shredded fiesta cheese for 2sp. So 7sp total for dinner!!! Quick and low on points lol
Hi Summara,
Oh that is awesome! I love this Chili. It’s my go to menu item at Wendy’s!
Thanks for the great review
Wow! So helpful! Thank you for all the great recipes, too!
So glad I found you! Thanks for the info. I can’t wait to try your recipes
Thanks so much for all your help .I buy the large chili at Wendy’s and a side salad and pour the chili on top of the salad. It is so good and filling.
I absolutely love the Grilled Chicken Southwest salad from McDonald’s. I always ask for it without the cilantro lime dressing on the chicken and it reduces the points by 2. In my opinion it does not change the taste at all!
Are the fast food points updated to the new WW system?
Hi Tracey,
This WW FAST FOOD guide was just updated with the new MyWW program.
Thanks so much!
I get the Southwest grilled chicken salad at Chick fila … No cheese. I just love this salad. I usually don’t put the seeds and chruncies on it. I always estimate 2 points, green plan. I usually use OPA salad dressing.
Thank you for all of your inspiration, recipes, and knowledge! You are such a blessing!
Hi Lindsay,
This is great, and very helpful!! Thank you. I was wondering if by chance you could figure out how many points the breaded Chick fil A chicken sandwich would be if I took off the bun on the green plan. I have no idea how to do this, and I cannot find this info out anywhere? Thank you, and thanks for your work!!
