How we selected these items
We start with the restaurant-published menu items that match this guide's calorie, protein, and meal-type rules. No single restaurant gets more than three spots, so one large menu cannot take over the list. Here, fast food includes supported quick-service and fast-casual chains; full-service restaurants are excluded. Substitutions, regional recipes, and cross-contact are not reflected, so confirm important nutrition and allergen information with the restaurant.
