To stay low-cal at McDonald's, order the bacon ranch grilled chicken salad and omit the bacon to lower the calories (from 320 to 230) and sodium (from 1,090 milligrams to 730 milligrams). Use only half the packet of ranch dressing to bring the salad total to 330 calories.

For those counting calories on the Dunkin' Donuts menu, the egg and cheese Wake-Up Wrap has only 150 of them. Adding a latte with skim milk doubles the protein and more than triples your calcium intake.

Subway's Black Forest ham salad is one of the lowest in calories, with only 110. You can even add honey mustard dressing without significantly boosting the calorie load (it has only 60 calories per serving). Add apple slices for a sweet crunchy snack, and your total meal count is only 205 calories.
