KFC - no grilled chicken?

(Pam) #1

So last night was pretty busy, family was starving and husband asked me to pick up fast food on the way home from work. Ok - I can do this! I started thinking and decided to go to KFC because even though I cant have the friend chicken or sides, I can get grilled chicken and maybe their green beans. So I go in ask the lady for what I want, tell her I want x pieces grilled instead of fried and she looks at me like I am insane and says they don’t sell grilled chicken.

I admit I have not asked for it in a long time, but I know they used to have it — Does anyone know if this is this a regional thing or do they not carry it anymore at all or what?

I left and got something else and ended up eating badly last night. Had taco bell - taco salad without the shell or red chips but forgot they had rice in them. So…last night was WAY over on the carb count. Back to business today.

Our KFC doesn’t have the grilled chicken either. But, ours is a combination with Taco Bell and a gas station.

Yeah I was pretty upset about it. I thought it would be an easy good fast food thing. Even KFC’s website talks about it and has the nutritional info for it. Oh well…

Apparently I have been making bad choices the last 2 days. Today I got a Mediterranean salad from PDQ left off the hummas and tomatoes and thought this would be ok. It was pretty much just feta cheese, grilled chicken, cucumber, Pepperoncini, Red Bell Pepper, and Cucumber with a chili lemon vinaigrette dressing. It was really good - then I thought just a few minutes ago to look up its carb count and was and was sad to see:

Total Carbohydrates 18grams
Dietary Fiber 4grams
Sugars 9grams

Not sure what’s in it that’s bad but that’s 2 days in a row now. And the sad part Is I actually don’t feel like crap today, even though I am eating like crap.

I just looked at the website and they do have grilled chicken listed.
Not sure if its location specific, or if the person just wasn’t trained well…

I see you’ve been at this quite a while by your join the forum date. My guess is that you have a higher carb tolerance before you’re kicked out of Club Ketosis! And that salad was only 4 net carbs anyway. That sounds pretty low for take out. Salad dressing, feta and the vegetables included. So not bad at all there. The Taco Bell wasn’t food. So yes, get back to clean eating by all means. :cowboy_hat_face:

Maybe I don’t know how to calculate properly - how did you get to 4 carbs? I thought it was carbs - fiber = net. So 18-4=14. with 9 of that being sugar…

She did say she was new, so maybe…

I’d give the location a call and find out for sure, and if the person still isn’t sure, ask for the manager :slight_smile:
It’s always good to have a list of places that you know you can go to. And I wouldn’t blame her for being confused…it’s called KFC (F for fried) after all :slight_smile:

You’re right Pam, I’m an idiot! :crazy_face::joy::joy::cowboy_hat_face:
