The Unthinkable Has Happened: "Healthy" Items Discovered at KFC

Did you know there are plain ol' vegetables at KFC? We didn't either! This side of green beans comes in at 25 calories, with 0 grams of fat, 260 milligrams sodium, 2 grams of fiber, and 1 gram of protein.

We know it's counterintuitive, but there's no way around it: skip the KFC and go for KGC — Kentucky grilled chicken. A grilled drumstick is only 60 calories per piece, with 10 grams of protein; a grilled chicken breast will give you 31 grams of protein in every 180-calorie piece. Get the full nutritional info and create your meal based on your caloric and macro needs.

Any basic veggie is an obvious win, even at a fast food joint. This side order of corn is only 100 calories, with no fat or sodium, plus a little bit of fiber and protein. Corn is super high in B complex vitamins, as well as manganese, so it's a great side dish choice when you're on the go.

We're just going to be straight up with this order: it's fried chicken tenders on bread. Now that we've got that out of the way, these sandwiches live up to their name, and they are, in fact, little. If you order one with no mayonnaise, each sandwich is 220 calories, with 8 grams of fat, 510 milligrams of sodium, and an impressive 13 grams protein thanks to the chicken. While it might not be the healthiest thing you can put in your body, it's certainly not the worst — especially in such a small portion.

The bonus here and the edge that these wedges have over fries? The potato skins. Loaded with trace minerals, the potato skin is nutritious, even though it's fried. Limit your portions, as sodium is high.
