7 Taco Bell Orders That Support Weight Loss: Taco Bell Stacker & More
Taco Bell is a popular fast-food chain known for its Mexican-inspired menu featuring a variety of tacos, burritos, and other Tex-Mex dishes. While some of Taco Bell’s offerings are often associated with indulgence and higher calorie counts, there are ways to make healthier choices that can support weight loss goals.
Many fans have shared their go-to orders and hacks for making Taco Bell a healthier choice when it comes to fast food. Some of these options include: Taco Bell Stacker, Soft Chicken Taco, and more. Read on to find out all seven.
1. Chicken Cantina Bowl Hack
TikTok creator @smallersam_pcos shared her version of the cantina chicken bowl, which has 460 calories and 26 grams of protein.
“This is the new chicken cantina bowl, but I substituted the seasoned rice for potatoes, and I added nacho cheese,” she says. She paired the order with a medium sugar-free baja blast. She also excluded the avocado verde salsa from her bowl to keep the calorie count down.
2. Taco Bell Stacker
Her next go-to option from the fast food chain is the Stacker. This choice has melted cheese, seasoned beef, and nacho cheese sauce inside a grilled flour tortilla. It comes in at 390 calories and 17 grams of protein.
She notes that although the stacker itself is just 390 calories, if you choose to dip it in more nacho cheese, it will add about 65 more calories.
3. Soft Chicken Taco
TikTok creator @alexastancofit , who posts health and wellness content, shared her Taco Bell orders that keep you on track with your fat loss goals.
For her first choice, she ordered a soft taco with chicken but added extra chicken, tomatoes, and black beans to it as well.
Chicken is a lean source of protein, which is essential for muscle maintenance and can help keep you feeling full longer. Black beans are a good source of fiber and protein. The fiber content can help with digestion and also contribute to a feeling of fullness, which can prevent overeating later.
4. Crunchwrap Supreme Without Nacho Cheese
Her second choice was the crunchwrap supreme with chicken, and she added extra chicken to that as well. She also took out the nacho cheese sauce to keep the calories down. Her choice of drink was Diet Mountain Dew.
Opting for chicken instead of beef reduces the fat and calorie content of the Crunchwrap Supreme. Chicken is a lean protein that helps with satiety and muscle maintenance.
The nacho cheese sauce is high in calories and fat. By removing it, you significantly cut down on the overall calorie content of the meal.
5. Chicken Quesadilla In A Bowl
Another TikToker who lost 75 pounds by following a keto-friendly diet, @emily_in_keto, shared her Taco Bell hack that can significantly reduce calories.
“I asked for a chicken quesadilla in a bowl with no tortilla, and I wanted some extra protein, so I asked for a side of seasoned beef in a bowl as well,” she says.
6. Soft Tacos With Beans
Shamira (@fitwithshamira), who lost over 29 pounds, shared her own modification to a Taco Bell order that won’t derail your weight loss goals.
She ordered two soft tacos but replaced the beef with beans, and her drink of choice was a diet Pepsi.
Beans are rich in essential nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They offer a good balance of protein and carbohydrates, with very little fat.
7. Bean Burrito
Shamira also has another fat-loss-friendly Taco Bell order that she eats while losing weight.
Her low-calorie order is the bean burrito, which is just 338 calories. She recommends eating it with the hot sauce to enhance its flavor and add a kick to your meal. She paired her burrito with a Diet Pepsi.
