Drive-Thru Diet at Taco Bell

Are your taste buds screaming "Yo Quiero Taco Bell"? Don't ignore them!  There are plenty of items on the Taco Bell menu under 350 calories.  If you are a Taco Bell fanatic, like myself, then you probably already know about the Fresco Menu.  But if you don't the menu also known as "Drive-Thru Diet Menu", is a list of items with 350 calories or less!  You can choose from a Chicken Burrito Supreme to a Grilled Steak Soft Taco.  Just know this menu automatically offers 7 choices of Taco Bell goodness, only with fewer calories...and a substitution of cheese with salsa.


My Favorite is the Steak Burrito Supreme

A soft tortilla wrapped around marinated and grilled steak, beans, tangy red sauce, shredded lettuce, diced onions, tomatoes, and salsa.

More great news is that the Fresco Menu isn't the only food items at taco bell that are under 350 calories! The chicken, steak, and beef Gordita Supreme's are all under 300.
This Chicken Gordita Supreme only has 290 calories.

Want some nacho's? Choose either the Cheesy Nacho's (280 calories) or the regular Nacho's (330 calories).  I personally was sad to learn that my favorite Nacho's BellGrande contained 780 calories.  It's sad news, but not fitting in skinny jeans is even worse news.  

Of course all of the sides contain less than 350, but that is only because they are smaller proportions.  When it comes to the sides, your best bet is to choose the Mexican Rice with only 120 calories, or the pinto beans that contain 160 calories.

More good news, The Double Decker Taco Supreme...
...is the only taco that contains a maximum of 350 calories, every other taco on the menu has less than that.  That's right, every taco at Taco Bell is a food item to pick if you're watching your caloric intake!  One item that you should stay away from are the Volcano Nacho's...
...it looks heavenly, but the cheese and sour cream pack this deceiving meal with 990 calories! To sum up Taco Bell's menu, stay away from the items loaded with cheese.  The taco's are a good choice if you can't seem to cut the cheese because they come with a small amount, such as the Double Decker Taco Supreme.

You can burn 350 calories off in no time, so get to taco bell as fast as you can and check out these low calorie items!
