Burger King, Subway, Greggs or McDs are the only lunch outlets in close proximity and I'm starvatiously hungry. Do any of them sell anything nutritious? Or at least tasty?

[ScummyMummy]

Advise me oh wise ones. Which shall I choose and what shall I order?
(I'm 4 months preganant and trying to eat relatively healthily but suspect none of them will serve anything that fits the healthy bill, will they?)

Theres a Greggs 1 min walk from my flat, lol.

oops x-post - but different scores - who can't count?

I am eating a chicken mango from Greggs at the moment - very fresh bread, lots of filling (chicken breast, mayo, mango chutney & mixed leaves) and only £1.99.

M&S sandwiches not too clever, Boots sandwiches tasteless. Greggs by far the best.

I wouldn't trust myself in McDs as i would have a quarterpounder meal gone large.

I bet lots of Greggs bashers have never been in one.

Forget the accusations of chavvery - it's the best, and cheapest, place on the high street for fresh sandwiches made with proper bread and fresh fillings.

I quite like the spicy veggy deli from MaccyD's - with brown bread and salad.

And Greggs do v nice sandwiches iirc.

Since we moved North, I really miss Greggs and chicken Mango was gorgeous

Greggs sausage roll and a fruit shoot.

Flier - they have Greggs opp North! I've lived in Manchester, Preston and Carlisle and all places have had a Greggs. Where are you, Stornoway?

Subs have got about 700 calories a pop, haven't they? I'm sure a Happy Meal has less calories...

Now i like Greggs sausage rolls.

no, just Inverness, but they don't have one, rhubarb

Lol Rhubarb.

Yes I thought Greggs was northern. Manchester seems to be full of them.

Subway is disgusting. I cannot bear to go in there because of the smell (I think it is the boaksome meatball marinara sauce).

I remember back in the day when M&S sandwiches were truly lovely and a bit different. Sadly, they are now pretty rubbish...

I thought Greggs was scottish???

well, I've learned something today !

"Greggs was founded in the 1930s by John Gregg with a single shop in Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne.[1]"

I agree about the chicken mango. Chicken orleans is also yummy scrummy.

Flier - deep fried Mars Bar.

rhubarb- yeuch - have never tried it - have you?

Well, I had a subway chicken teriyaki thingy and it made me feel sick! The cup of tea was alright though. Will try Greggs next time but am going to take a packed lunch tomorrow so that next time isn't too soon.

Thank you all for your advice in mhy hour of need, btw.

No worries scummy! But of course, if you eat sausage rolls and drink fruit shoots now, it means your baby will get a taste for them when it's older

I thought calming a tantrumming bratlet with sausage rolls and fruit shoots was the number one mumsnet tip, rhubs! How else am I going to calm the little bananahead when it cries, eh?

I like the iced chelsea bun things from Greggs.

Are they called belgian buns? Sort of coiled round sweet bread with sultanas, a bit spicy, icing and a cherry on top. Millions of calories.

Aargh, too late but was going to say Greggs. Didn't Submway come out as one of the worst for salt and fat??? Think it was that meatball one - had enough calories for a whole day for an adult
