Taco Bell

Sometimes you have few options on eating. It's nice to have some reasonable fast food alternatives. None of these really meet my criteria for every day eating, but when you are on the road or at the airport, you should not feel bad about eating them.
Fresco Style Enchirito
The best item at Taco Bell to eat is the "Fresco Style" Enchiritos. These are each around 250 calories with P/C/F ratios of 25/50/25 and 25% of the RDA for the day. The steak and chicken are somewhat better nutritional values than the beef. Enchiritos are high in A and C due to the red pepper sauce on them. Make sure you get the item with sauce - it's highly nutritious and low in calories and fat. Meat provides good B vitamins, iron amd protein. Beans are a good source of folate.

Regular Enchirito
Almost as good is the regular enchirito, which has cheese instead of extra salsa. This is considerably higher in calories and fat - 370 calories and P/C/F of 21/38/41. These also provide calcium from the cheese. Again, the beef is somewhat higher in calories and fat than the chicken and the steak variety.

"Fresca Style" Burritos
Similar in nutrition to the regular Enchirito, the various Fresca Burrito Supremes include the Steak Burrito Supreme, the Chicken Burrito Supreme and the Chicken Fiesta Burrito. All are around 350 calories with a P/C/F of 22/55/23. These have lots of nutritional value and are higher in calcium and iron than the fresca enchiritos, but lower in A and C.

One Last Word
One of the things I like about all these choices is that they aren't fried food - so minimal bad oils that are reused over and over in the fryer. The enchiritos have 1 g of transfat and the burritos have 1 1/2 - 2 grams.
