You may notice there are no salads on this list. If people wanted a salad, they would stay at home. Fast food eating is about choosing foods you would not normally eat at home. These healthier Burger King choices offer just enough “bad food” to take away that fast food craving without breaking the calorie bank all together.

* If you really want a salad, try ordering your favorite burger without the bun and smack it on a side salad. A side salad contains 140 calories, 6 grams fat, 6 grams protein, 16 grams carbohydrate and 220 mg sodium. Less than the 200 calories or more the bread will add onto any healthier Burger King sandwich.
