On our plan, we want food to still be fun—and enjoyable—so that it’s easier for you to reach your weight loss goal.
Here are six delicious alternatives to fast food and how they compare in nutrition:
1. Nutrisystem Grilled Chicken Sandwich

3. Nutrisystem Sweet BBQ Sauce with Pulled-Styled Pork Sandwich >
If it’s a pork sandwich you’re after, Nutrisystem has a healthier alternative to that, as well.

Our version will give you the same flavor without all the fat that typically comes along with a pulled pork sandwich. Click here to make it yours >
4. Nutrisystem Three Cheese Chicken >
What’s better comfort food than a cheesy pasta dish? We can’t think of many! Of course, the vast majority of cheese-based pasta dishes are absolutely loaded with fat and calories.

5. Nutrisystem Creamy Beef Alfredo >
Of all the pasta sauces out there, Alfredo tends to be a favorite. It’s rich and creamy flavor makes it incredibly appealing. But it’s also one of the worst offenders when it comes to calories and fat. At Nutrisystem, we’ve created an Alfredo-based dish that won’t do any diet damage. Click here to make it yours >
6. Pepperoni Pizza Melt >
Craving a slice of pizza? Even a small slice can be packed with fat and calories. But we’ve come up with a dish that has fewer calories and fat while still being big on flavor. It will satisfy your pizza fix without the need to dial the pizza delivery guy. Click here to make it yours >
