A Registered Dietitian Shares The High-Protein, Low-Calorie Taco Bell Orders That Are ‘Delicious’: Steak Crunchwrap Supreme, More

If you find yourself at Taco Bell for any reason—whether you’re a busy mom just trying to feed the kids at the drive-thru, or its Saturday night and you’re satisfying those midnight cravings, it might not be a bad idea to have some healthy orders saved in the notes on your phone so that you can indulge without totally blowing up your healthy eating for the week. A few small swaps can bring down the calories and fat, and majorly boost the protein and fiber content—so why not make them? You can even make a meal that’s healthy enough for a workday lunch (and hopefully you won’t get served a burrito that resembles ‘a soggy toilet paper roll’).
Registered dietitian Jaclyn London, MS, RD, recently shared a video on her YouTube channel about her “top picks” from the Taco Bell menu, that our editors think are perfect for saving on your device and pulling up later if and when you need them in a pinch. London’s top four choices from the fast food stop—the Black Bean Chalupa Supreme, Crunchy Taco, Crunchwrap Supreme andPower Menu Veggie Bowl (all with modifications)—sound delicious and will definitely satisfy your T-Bell cravings. One is even a “luxury lunch option,” according to London. When have you ever heard “luxury” and “Taco Bell” in the same sentence? Read on for a full rundown of London’s go-to healthy orders at the chain:
Health Taco Bell OrdersSwapping out a Taco Bell order for a healthier, high-protein, high-fiber option only works if it tastes good and you are likely to order it again. Jaclyn London, RD, a practicing registered dietitian, tells her followers that her picks at the fast food chain are still “crunchy,” “amazing,” “delicious” and “filled with flavor.” London really makes a case for how a healthy diet for weight management doesn’t have to cut out any food group in its entirety. Her recommendations scream “everything in moderation.”
