The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Find healthy fast food options

Fast food is not what it used to be. Today, you have more to choose from than ever before. Many fast food chains make more than the usual hamburger, cheeseburger and french fries.

I recommend: Subway offers sandwiches, wraps, salads and soups that help fill you up without all the extra fat and calories. View their Nutrition Information to find the meal that’s best for you. Wendy’s allows you to choose your side, so you can opt for a side salad with fat free dressing instead of those fattening fries.

Find a fast food provider for those late night work sessions

The work day doesn't always run from 8 to 5, but you still need to eat. There are several fast food chains that stay open until midnight or later so you can enjoy 'lunch' around the clock.

I recommend: Pizza Hut has a location finder on their website that allows you to search for a local restaurant to dine in, carry out or for delivery. Some stores will deliver pizzas until midnight. Taco Bell offers “Fourthmeal,” what they refer to as the meal between dinner and breakfast. Many Taco Bell chains are open until 1:00 a.m. or later.

Find a fast food caterer for large work meetings

When you get a large group together, especially if some of them are from a different office or location, a free meal is a great idea. However, you need to plan ahead to find a fast food chain that will be able to handle your large numbers.

I recommend: Chick-fil-A has Chick-fil-A trays for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert to feed your crowd, and you can even place your order online. Qdoba offers catering to feed groups of all sizes. Choose from their Hot Taco Bar, Hot Burrito Bar, Hot Naked Burrito Bar and their Box Lunches.

• •  Many cities have a delivery service where you can ask about a fast food list of restaurants you can order from, and the company even delivers your order. You may be surprised at the options these companies provide; some even work with a fast food directory of chains that don't usually deliver.
