Can you suggest a better fast food giving 30 grams (I forget the exact figure, but it’s something like that) protein per $2.49?

Quarter pounder with cheese, take off bread?
You’ll have a lot more fat…
Now how do we determine which would be “healthier”?
It turns out the KFC Grilled Chicken breast is listed as 35 grams protein, 4 grams fat, 0 carbs, 180 calories, for the $2.49.
The Quarter Pounder with Cheese lists at 19 grams protein, 16 grams fat (1 gram is trans fat), and I would assume about 220 calories minus the bread. I don’t know the cost.

KFC wins… that burger is pretty weak on the protein, I had no idea.
(I think the Quarter Pounder was $2.79 ish the last time I got one)
Now if KFC had “plate of fresh spinach” as another item on their menu, I could definitely hit that up!
1/4 pounder is shit quality beef. I wouldn’t eat that crap if you paid me. Give me a bucket of KFC any day of the week. Plus they usually have a taco bell so you can get a bean burrito with sour cream and a caramel apple empanada. Yeah baby!
Bill, you’re right. I don’t know why I typed that, given the cost of most fast-food items these days. Even if one has a cheat meal (my favorite is a double whopper with cheese and King Sized fries), it costs 7 to 10 bucks.
Two pieces of the KFC grilled chicken and a salad is a healthy, good-tasting meal.
And it turns out (if you want some to take home or have at least two people) it’s actually possible to get it a bit cheaper than the $2.49.
I don’t know how to instruct them to do it – they did it on their own – but there’s some way to do a 4 piece mixed box and substitute so as to have all 4 be breasts, and wind up at just over $2.00 per breast.
Thanks Bill. Did you get my PM?
I’ll check: I’m severely (weeks) behind on PM’s… 
I have to try this shit…
Dark meats getting no love on T-Nation? What up with that homies?
I guess my post was deleted nice! Well he is a dumb shit for following a “guru” blindly.

Who’s following what guru?
I just checked El Pollo Loco and this KFC ranks right up there with them. I don’t know if you have El Pollo Loco out wherever you are.
