Even your favorite foods such as tacos, pizza, chicken, seafood, and burgers can be included in a balanced diet. You can choose foods that are grilled, roasted or baked, limit cheeses and sauces, order Fresco Style options at Taco Bell, and ask for "No Sauces" or "Sauce on the Side" when ordering.

KFC

Consumers can create a variety of meals with lower fat content from KFC's U.S. menu by choosing Kentucky Grilled Chicken (4 - 10 grams fat dependent upon piece) or by removing the skin and breading on KFC's Original Recipe® chicken breast (3.5g fat) and choosing two home-style sides, such as the 3 inch corn on the cob (0.5g fat), mashed potatoes and gravy (4.0g fat), green beans (0g fat) or BBQ Baked Beans (1.5g fat). Consumers can also select the Honey BBQ KFC® Snacker (3g fat) or the Honey BBQ Sandwich (3.5g fat), where available, with a 3" corn on the cob (0.5g fat) and a side of green beans (0g fat).
