Nutrient density isn’t necessarily fast food’s most notable characteristic. Affordable? Yes. Delicious? Of course. High in both fiber and protein? Not typically. However, we found an item on Chick-fil-A’s menu that not only satisfies those fast food cravings but delivers some impressive nutritional value, too.<\/p>\n
If you’re looking to get both fiber and protein out of your next fast food run<\/a>, then Chick-fil-A is the place to be, and the Chick-fil-A Cool Wrap is the thing to order. The Cool Wrap features grilled chicken breast, green leaf lettuce, and shredded Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses all rolled up into a flaxseed flour flat bread. It’s simple, filling, and delivers 14 grams of dietary fiber and 43 grams of protein, both of which are essential daily nutrients. The USDA<\/a> recommends that adults intake between 25 grams and 38 grams of fiber daily<\/a>, so the 14 grams provided by the Cool Wrap is substantial. In addition, the Mayo Clinic<\/a> recommends adults consume between 50 and 175 grams of protein daily, depending on your caloric intake, again making the Cool Wrap’s 43 grams of protein a good source. And, although it landed nearly at the bottom when we ranked popular fast food snack wraps<\/a>, it’s a solid healthier fast food option and can be easily dressed up a bit with one of\u00a0the many Chick-fil-A sauces<\/a> and dressings.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n Increase the nutritional value of the Cool Wrap even more, or check out some other fiber and protein-packed menu items<\/p>\n Unless you have the most formidable willpower of all time, you’ll likely be grabbing a side of those irresistible Chick-fil-A waffle fries with your Cool Wrap. While fries aren’t the most nutritious food, the ones from Chick-fil-A will provide an extra 5 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber to your Cool Wrap meal, along with another 240 milligrams of sodium. Adding a regular side salad or the Kale Crunch side salad would be a good way to incorporate a few vitamins and minerals from the leafy greens<\/a>. And, if you really want to maximize your protein intake, the side of chicken tortilla soup or mac and cheese will both add 20 grams or more to your meal.<\/p>\n If you aren’t really feeling the Cool Wrap, don’t worry. Chick-fil-A has other menu items that offer comparable levels of fiber and protein and may suit your taste a bit more. Both the Cobb and the Spicy Southwest salads offer 33 grams of protein or more and a respectable 5 grams of fiber in the Cobb and 7 grams of fiber in the Spicy Southwest. The Spicy Deluxe sandwich has a solid 34 grams of protein and just 2 grams of fiber, but that’s nothing that a side of chicken tortilla soup with a whopping 18 grams of fiber can’t fix. Ultimately, though, the Cool Wrap is still the entr\u00e9e with the most protein and fiber<\/a> in one single item that you can get at Chick-fil-A, making it the easiest way to get some good nutrition from your fast food.<\/p>\n
