If you're a regular customer of Arby's or just happen to walk through their doors one day, here's information you must know: Although there ARE healthy menu items, there are plenty of meals at Arby's that are worth AVOIDING. We feel the need to mention them because they sound harmless but many choices are crammed with calories, fat, saturated fat and salt. For example, grab a Chicken Breast Fillet Sandwich for lunch and you will consume 500 calories, 25 grams of fat and 1,220 mg sodium (more than half a day's worth) without even considering a side dish or drink! Add the large curly fries and that's another 630 calories, 34 grams of fat and 1,480 mg of sodium (more than half a day's worth in the fries alone!). Their fresh-sounding Market Fresh Roast Turkey, Ranch & Bacon Sandwich contains 830 calories, 38 grams of fat and 2,260 mg sodium. If you think a salad is a better way to go - don't get the Buttermilk Ranch Dressing, it's got 330 calories and 34 grams of fat. But don't despair, there are choices at Arby's you can feel good about - for you AND the family. We bring you the four best selections.
