Taco Bell Diet-Friendly Fast Foods  

Taco Bell recently announced that it plans to have 20 percent of its combo meals (a main item, a side and a drink) meet one-third of the federal government's recommended dietary guidelines by 2020. This will mean meal choices with less fat, less sodium and fewer overall calories. Taco Bell CEO Greg Creed explains: "Our customers tastes and needs are evolving. They want more balanced options."

In the meantime, there are a few menu items that can be considered diet-friendly drive-thru fare, mostly from their “Fresco Menu.” These items replace cheese with salsa, greatly reducing the calorie content. 

Some of the lower-calorie, diet-friendly drive-thru options at Taco Bell include: 

  • Fresco Burrito Supreme® (steak) – 350 calories, 9g total fat, 17g protein.
  • Fresco Grilled Steak Soft Taco – 160 calories, 4.5g total fat, 11g protein.
  • Side of black beans – 80 calories, 1.5g total fat, 4g protein.
  • Spicy Buffalo Chicken Griller – 350 calories, 15g total fat, 15g protein.
