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.

Taco Bell

In the U.S., Taco Bell's Drive-Thru Diet® Menu features seven incredible tasting, Fresco-style menu offerings with nine grams of fat or less. Taco Bell Drive-Thru Menu items cut the fat, not the flavor, so they have the same great Taco Bell taste including grilled, marinated all-white-meat chicken, Carne Asada Steak and seasoned beef - with fewer calories and less fat. For example, a Fresco Ranchero Chicken Soft Taco contains 160 calories and 3.5 total fat grams versus 260 calories and 14 total fat grams for the regular menu item. Drive-Thru Diet Menu items replace cheese and sauce ingredients with daily-prepared fresh Fiesta Salsa, a zesty yet mild mix of chopped tomatoes, onions and cilantro, which contains only five calories and zero fat grams.
