Which Chick-fil-A option will keep you full longer?
You've been driving all day and you're hungry. When you finally stop for gas, you know that you have limited healthy choices in the convenience shop. Luckily this gas station is also paired with a Chick-fil-A restaurant, which definitely gives you some hotter, fresher options than the who-knows-how-old-it-is chicken salad sandwich in the mini mart. Since you've been trying to limit your fast food intake lately, you want to grab something quick and relatively healthy. Chick-fil-A's Nuggets are quick and easy, plus you get 8 whole pieces, which are packed with filling protein. Or you can try their Chicken Salad Sandwich, which comes on wheat bread. Which "snack" from Chick-fil-A will give you the full tummy you need without filling out your waistline?

Fiber is a filling nutrient that's also good for your health. Chick-fil-A's Chicken Salad Sandwich boasts a surprising 5 grams of fiber (that's 20% of your daily value) and 20 grams of protein in a tasty 350-calorie package. While this option is higher in calories than the Nuggets (260 calories), it'll probably keep you fuller longer. The Nuggets have less than 1 gram of fiber and are about equal in protein grams. Another reason that the Sandwich makes a good choice is its lower sodium content--880 milligrams compared to the Nuggets' 1,090. If you want a smaller snack, Chick-fil-A also offers healthy options like Carrot & Raisin Salad (170 calories, 6 grams fat), a medium Fruit Cup (70 calories, zero grams fat), and Hearty Breast of Chicken Soup (140 calories, 3.5 grams fat).
