Veggie Soft Taco at Taco Time (Healthy Drive-Through)

Do you eat out almost daily? If the answer is yes and you want to know how to order healthfully and save a few hundred calories every meal read these dining fit articles that cover basic every day places to eat. Seattleites are part of a culture of eating out daily, and it’s no longer okay to treat ourselves every time!

Let's face it. Once in a while the only thing that seems like an option is the drive through. Whether you're on a road trip, have a crying baby, or a crazy schedule even the most healthy of us will resort to this meal on wheels.

While it isn't easy to find tasty and healthy fast food, this one is sure to be just what you're looking for. Try Taco Time's Veggie Soft Taco and it's sure to become a regular.

Ingredients: Lettuce, tomato, carrot, cabbage, corn, celery, onions, green pepper, black olives, cheese, and ranch dressing.

Calories: 549 (as stated on the menu at the Capitol Hill Location)

Tip: Sub black beans for refried beans to lower the fat and add flavor. Add salsa, a low calorie way to add flavor.

Skip: Mexi-fries. A regular size is a dizzying 500 calories. A large, a whopping 750 calories. No matter how tempting, gather up all your will and skip them. Though they may tempt you, you'll feel so much better if you do.
