My Wife and I are both busy professionals that often do not get home from work until after 6:00 (sometimes 7:00). We have recently been trying to find some lower fat/calorie options for take-out. We feel very limited in our choices.

We often pick up Chicken Vermicilli (generally around 10g/fat) and go easy on the Fish Oil. Also, McDonalds Fajitas are suprisingly low in fat (one fajita is 5g of fat + 100 calories). Subway can be done low fat, but there is a lot of calories in it. M and M has a easy to make Fajita kit that is 10 grams of fat per 2 fajitas.

Low fat grocery store dinners are generally disgusting and overdone for us.

I do not want a lecture about cooking at home as it is just not a viable option at this point to get hom from work, spend a long time in the kitchen and not eat until after 8.

Any thoughts?
