How I survive the drive thru lane at a fast food joint?

Hey! I'm only one trying to lose weight in my house, yes my husband does eat what I make him, but I do occasionally get the fast food stuff from the drive thru at Mc Donald's, Wendy's, and Jack in the Box, even Taco Bell

I have had to learn to get Food al la carte from the Value Menu.

Taco Bell : Club Soda, 1 Fresco Chicken Soft Taco, and 1 Supreme Crunchy Taco

No super healthy, but way better than the Chalupas I would normally get.

McDonald's: Southeren McChicken Sandwhich minus 1 bun, Salad with Lite italian 1/2 the packet, Large Water, Yogurt Parfait for Dessert. or Large water, Quarter Pounder, half the fries(still not healthy, just a splurge) I give the rest to my husband.

Wendy's: Lite Lemonade,  Ultimate Grilled Chicken, Salad 1/2 the packet dressing, and Mandarin Oranges.

Jack in the Box: Pita Chicken, Large Water

I have to survive in the real world. I need to make smart choices, and how I do that is I search for the healthiest stuff on the nutrition guide of McDonalds Website, and every other resturaunts website.

So my advice, do your research before you head out to eat, so your prepared ahead of time.
