Zero calorie drinks and swap all your meat for beans. I'm not a femboy, but I'm a slim, healthy woman who eats Taco Bell at least once a week. It's the only fast food I eat because it's the only fast food with meaningful seasoning, and I can just go for beans to make it incredibly light. Taco Bell is the only fast food you should be considering when trying to lose weight.
Or just eat whatever fast food you want and track your calories. 🤷♂️ 500 calories of Taco Bell won't make you any fatter than 500 calories of McDonald's or Subway.
The only thing you're getting from one and not the other is fiber from the beans, and fat adds to satiety too. If you're tracking what you eat it's not hard to make up the fiber difference somewhere else.
The beans and rice in many taco bell offerings provide more nutrients than your average fast food burger or deep fried meat. The fiber and vitamins both make you feel better and more full longer. You also get spices and heat, which tend to make people feel full faster and provide some amount of nutrition. And it moves through your body faster, so you're not bloated.
Yeah, obviously you shouldn't be eating it for every meal. But if you're getting fast food it's silly to pretend Taco Bell is health food because it's got beans in it. If you're getting fast food get what you want and just account for it.
tacobell is the best fastfood for losing weight tho it's still not good as the macros are pretty not great usually
though i go for 30% fat 40% carbs 30% protein at least on my hiit calisthenics days. sometimes lower carb on rest days
weight lifting is weird tho eek
