DALLAS, TEXAS – NOVEMBER 03: U.S. Senate candidate Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) (R) talks with his Logistics and Events Manager Cynthia Cano (L) as his Communications Director Chris Evans live streams them leaving lunch at a Whataburger November 3, 2018 in Dallas, Texas. As Election Day approaches, winning swing votes in the suburbs that surround Dallas and Fort Worth will be crucial in a statewide victory for O’Rourke and his opponent incumbent Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX).

11. Apple and Cranberry Salad

Fast food joint: Whataburger
Menu item: Apple and Cranberry salad
Calories: 305

We were not going to leave out this Texas-favorite fast food restaurant! Everything may be bigger in Texas, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have some low-calorie menu options with a big punch of flavor. At Whataburger, you get the best of both worlds!

For a light lunch, order Whataburger’s Apple and Cranberry salad with vinaigrette dressing. It comes in at 305 calories, so you can get an unsweet tea with it if you’d like. If this alone doesn’t satisfy your hunger, Thrillist suggests placing a small order of french fries. Fries are frowned upon when you think of healthy, but Whataburger has some of the best fries of all that are low in calories as well. A small order is only 270, and you can get these without any salt, too.
