a lot of calories and fat with little in the way of nutritional value. The vitamin C from the potatoes are the only value for the amount of food consumed. There are better alternatives to request in the spirit of good nutrition.

Break down of meal:

Chicken sandwich:
Serving size:        1 sandwich
Calories                : 440
Fat                          : 19 g
Carbohydrates:   40 g

Medium Coke

Calories:                 170
Fat:                           0
Carbohydrates:   47 g.
Nutritional value : 0

My opinion is that this particular meal combination is although popular it is not at all healthy and a poor choice nutritionally speaking.

Serving size       : Half a wrap
Calories                : 170
Fat                           : 7 g.
Carbohydrates   : 15 g.
Nutritional value :
Vitamin A              : 23%
Vitamin C              : 15%
Calcium                  : 18%
Iron                           : 8%

Large Fruit Cup:    1 serving size
Calories                   : 90
Fat                             : 0
Carbohydrates     : 24g
Nutritional value   :
Vitamin C                  : 21 mg
Calcium                     : 20 mg
Iron                              : 0.4 mg

My opinion is that this wrap is a good alternative for those who are watching out for their health. The serving size is misleading as a half a wrap is considered one portion so just keep the other wrap for another meal the next day!

The Fruit cup is a healthy side dish because it offers a good dose of Vitamin C and also 2 grams of fiber which is important to consider for maintaining good health.

Serving size:         :  12 oz.
Calories                  : 120
Fat                             : 0
Carbohydrates    : 32 g.
Nutritional value : 0

My opinion is that there are too many carbohydrates and the portion is too large. It is practically drinking a dessert. It will put on weight and spike the blood sugar. Not a good option for those who are concerned with good nutrition.

I believe that as far as fast food restaurants are concerned Chic Fil A  does a good job of offering healthy selections for those who are looking for good nutritional value, cost value and of course fast service. The restaurant offers the traditional heart attack standard meals that are loaded with calories, unhealthy fats, cholesterol, and high sodium counts. In a country that is addicted to fat, salt and sugar it will continue to offer the unhealthy meals to stay in business. It is refreshing though to see that they are really trying to provide healthier options for kids and adults alike.

The reason I am adding this comment is to simply compare the difference of the sweetened to the unsweetened tea. I believe if more people really knew the difference then the majority of people would choose to drink unsweetened tea. It could save the consumer weight gain, blood sugar spikes, rotting teeth, and in my case the acne breakouts from too much sugar. Drink the unsweetened tea with a char-grilled chicken cool wrap and fruit cup and enjoy a healthy meal!
