Health Experts Favor Bunless Burgers, Chipotle Bowls Over Taco Bell's No. 1 Pick

2 articles · Updated · Fox News · May 30
  • Chick-fil-A grilled nuggets, bunless burgers and Chipotle protein-heavy bowls were the fast-food options doctors highlighted as better choices, while rejecting Taco Bell’s top-ranked Veggie Mexican Pizza as too processed and low in protein.
  • Flour tortillas, buns, fries, chips, white rice and many dressings drew the strongest warnings because experts said ultra-processed carbohydrates, seed oils, preservatives and added sugars can undermine otherwise healthier menu items.
  • Chipotle stood out for customizable protein, black beans, salsa, vegetables and guacamole, while Wendy’s baked potato was described as a reasonable fallback because its ingredients are more straightforward.
  • For road trips, the doctors said grocery stores and convenience-store basics such as nuts are often better than drive-thrus, and fast food should be treated as an occasional necessity rather than a routine.
