Taco Bell is one of the healthiest fast food chains?

GRADE "d" BEEF!

So healthy with a Diet Coke!

Nutritious pink slime.

Copious amounts of sodium.

the calorie count may be low, but the sodium level is high.

The article states that they have been actively lowering their sodium over the past decade or so, by 25%.

The main other ingredient in their "grade D beef" is that they just cut it with oats. Oats aren't bad for you. They're obviously cheap and a filler, but not bad for you.

Nobody is putting a gun to your head to order a sugary soda or a diet soda. I always keep bottled waters in my car.

When I was on WW I would go there for lunch and get 1 soft taco and 1 hard taco. They are both low in WW points.

Did you actually lose weight that way R7? Flour tortillas and taco shells are carb loaded.

My favorite item is the cheese sauce.

Yes I did r8 I lost 60 pounds on WW and have kept it off give or take 3-4 pounds which I go up and down with. For me it was learning moderation, two tacos was better than what I used to eat.

I went for a job interview at Taco Bell when I was in high school. I saw them RAKING the ground beef. I noped the hell out of there.

r11 I don't like to watch restaurants make my food or know how they do it. So I am saying Lalalalalaaaaa and covering my eyes and ears at your post. :)

A fresh, cheesy gordita crunch, sub black beans for beef, would be included in my death row final meal, and I don't care who knows it. Maybe the Lord would even spare me, and make the high sodium in it trigger a heart attack, so I didn't have to die at the hands of evil men.

R13 Not to derail the conversation from the topic at hand, but why exactly would you be on death row? Something you're not telling us?? 😳

R11 how do you "rake beef?" Was it on the floor?

Anything can be made to be <500 calories by making the serving small enough.

R15. There was what seemed to be plexiglass enclosed flattop/grill area where the ground beef was piled on and the worker was using a rake-like object. Looked ike he was tilling soil or raking leaves. It was right by the counter and I could see it from the table area where the interview was at.

It was 30 years ago and I had never stepped foot inside Taco Bell before that day (or since)

The soft and hard tacos are each under 200 calories. We had a Taco Bell by my work so I could go with my friends and eat with them while I was doing WW so that was nice. I also used to eat Wendy's chili and grilled chicken sandwiches sometimes as there was a Wendy's by my work too. But yes the reason they are low in calories is because they are light on meat and cheese. Also would get a Happy Meal at McDonalds drive thru once in awhile to save calories.

My splurge was the Mexican Pizza but unfortunately I can't be tempted by that any more.

Raking beef doesn't sound nasty, but grade d beef certainly does.

What’s wrong with raking beef? That’s how you’re supposed to cook on those flattop grills. Have you never been to a diner? They rake potatoes, onions, pepper, and all sorts of meat.

I could live on the black bean power bowls -love the avocado sauce-hold the sour cream . around 500 calories but the 2 pack of cinnabon delights i add to the order bumps it up some. Still worth it IMO.

R21. I've only ever seen diner cooking on TV shows and I never saw what I saw at Taco Bell.

Hard shells are healthier than soft shells

I want the mexican pizza back dammit!

EAT at TACO BELL and Run For The Powder (Room)

I’m at the Pizza Hut. I’m at the Taco Bell. I’m at the combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell.
