"TikTok is buzzing with weight-loss-friendly menu hacks, and Sam's Chick-fil-A order might just become your new favorite treat. In her video, Sam shares her journey of losing over 200 pounds through exercise, maintaining a calorie deficit, and using Semaglutide to manage her PCOS. Despite her weight-loss goals, she enjoys her favorite fast-food items while staying on track.
"I call this my Barbecue Chicken Salad," Sam explains. "You can enjoy the entire meal for just 325 calories, packed with 42 grams of protein. It's a grilled nugget meal paired with a side salad instead of fries, accompanied by pickles, one BBQ sauce, and two Texas Pete hot sauces. Simply mix the BBQ and hot sauces with the nuggets, toss them into your salad, and top it off with pickles. It's a delightful blend of sweet, spicy, and utterly delicious."
A 12-piece grilled nugget meal totals 200 calories and provides 38 grams of protein. A side salad without dressing adds 80 calories and offers four grams of protein along with three grams of fiber. Adding a barbecue sauce packet contributes 45 calories, while a hot sauce packet adds no additional calories.
Achieving sustainable weight loss and maintaining it long-term involves occasional indulgences. Depriving yourself of favorite meals can hinder progress. This Chick-fil-A order allows you to enjoy fast food without derailing your goals.
