Fast food isn’t typically seen as the key to success when it comes to weight loss—and for good reason! It’s no secret that most fast food is loaded with unhealthy fats, sodium, and calories. However, that doesn’t mean you can never make a stop at the drive-thru if you want to stay on track with your health goals. Luckily, there are a few meals that can support weight loss when you’re on the go.
Health TikToker Kols (@healthkols) took to the app to share four of her favorite fast food meals that amount to 1800 calories and 133 grams of protein, perfect for those wanting to eat fast food daily and still achieve weight loss. From Chick-fil-A breakfast to a protein-packed Chipotle bowl, find her picks below!

1. Chick-Fil-A Egg White Grill
The Chick-fil-A Egg White Grill is a delightful breakfast option that offers a combination of grilled chicken, fluffy egg whites, and melted American cheese. This tasty mix is presented on a warm, toasted multi-grain English muffin, providing a satisfying start to your day.
Kols tells her followers that this menu item is "freaking delicious" and is her "absolute favorite post-gym meal" with "only 290 calories and has 26 grams of protein." She noted that it might look small in pictures, but she finds it to be "super filling and pretty big."
2. Burger King Whopper Junior
For lunch, the health coach says to "go to Burger King" and "order a Whopper Junior" with "330 calories and 15 grams of protein." The Whopper Jr. is a more compact take on Burger King's iconic Whopper. It includes a flame-grilled beef patty, topped with creamy mayonnaise, tangy ketchup, fresh slices of tomatoes, crisp lettuce, sharp white onions, and crunchy pickles.
All of these ingredients are nestled within a toasted sesame seed bun. This sandwich offers a smaller yet satisfying version of the classic Whopper, perfect for those looking for a lighter meal without sacrificing the delicious flavors Burger King is known for.
3. Burger King Chicken Fries
Another weight loss-friendly option from Burger King is its "nine piece chicken fry," according to Kols. She said that this only has "260 calories and an additional 15 grams of protein." In addition, she noted that with sauces, you'll want to "stick with ketchup and barbecue, as those are going to be your lowest calorie" options.
She also suggested having a "diet soda to drink, which would bring you a lunch total to 640 calories and 30 grams of protein" (including the Junior Whopper above).
4. Chipotle Double Chicken Bowl
Kols noted that this is her most protein-rich option in the video, and suggested getting a "double chicken bowl" during your next Chipotle outing with "light rice, light beans whatever one you want."
She noted that with "double chicken, light sour cream, cheese and lettuce," this "puts you at 700 calories and 77 grams of protein." Now, after eating all of the items on this list, the TikToker said that "your total calories so far are going to be 1,630." Not bad at all!
