Top 5 Healthiest Fast Food Restaurants

The results are in and according to health.com here’s the BEST fast food restaurants in Oklahoma City for healthy food choices. Got a local "Favorite" you'd like to add to our list? Let us know!

1. Panera Bread - Comprehensive menu of healthy choices for every meal takes the top honors.
We love: Delicious, nutrient-packed combos like a half–Turkey Artichoke on focaccia bread with a bowl of black bean or garden vegetable soup.
Danger zone: Sticky buns and danishes are on display at the counter.
2. Jason’s Deli - Ingredients are organic and they have creative nutty salads, which is why they are second.
We love: Ability to build any sandwich on an organic whole-wheat wrap.
Danger zone: High-sodium counts on some sandwiches; if sodium is a concern, stick to the ultra-healthy choices.
3. Chipotle – Committed to organics, hormone free meats, and gives the customer complete choice control, making tex-mex third.
We love: Burrito Bowls, let's you skip the tortilla—and the extra carbs.
Danger zone: The dark side of a buffet is that you can go wild. So you have to go light on cheese and sour cream.
4. McDonald’s - Working hard on overhauling its menu to offer more heart and waist-friendly fare, making them fourth.
We love: The 260- to 270-calorie Snack Wraps (choose grilled chicken) for protein without a lot of unwanted carbs.
Danger zone: McDonald’s is still the land of supersizing and giant sodas. It’s up to you to request a small.
5. Einstein Bros. Bagels - Offers healthier alternatives like reduced-fat shmears, hummus, and peanut butter. It also serves a Good Grains bagel, rounding out the top five.
We love: The high-fiber Veg Out on a sesame seed bagel.
Danger zone: “Overstuffed” size sandwiches are a calorie nightmare.
