  • El Pollo Loco - Wonderful Chicken

    They have the best tasting chicken around...no breading, marinated, and zero carbs. Unfortunately, they are only in 4 states, CA, AZ, NV, and TX.

    They even have the nutritional content listed on their site.

    Famous citrus-marinated, fire-grilled chicken. Cooked slow. Served fast. Always cut-to-order. Now serving in Arizona, California, Nevada, Texas, and Utah.
    Admitting...on April 2010 I have been eating low carb for almost 7 years and the lowest I got to was 145. These last couple of years though I got lazy, and over the course of time, gained back up to almost 170. I am back on induction, a week into it now on 4/22/10, doing excellent and seeing results. Once again, my weight goal is 140.

    I just don't have the heart to change the stats below, except I am NOW 46yrs.

    I love El Pollo Loco before starting Atkins...I was thinking about having it for lunch today but couldn't log into the website to see if there was nutrional information.

    thanks for the info!

      dinner

      just went to El Pollo Loco last night for dinner (in CA) I was delighted to see they had "legal" sides with the chicken!! I ordered a 2 piece combo that came with two sides, a side salad and fresh veggies (carrots, broccoli, and calliflour) the salad has 7 grams (I took it home and added my own no carb dressing) and the veggies have 8. I gave my kids all the carrots so I figure that cut a few out. It does come with tortillas, but I just handed them over to my husband.

      413 squats so far this month!

        Bringing back an old post, but does anyone know if there are any sugars in the marinade they use on the chicken? I'm in induction right now and am being very cautious with everything.

        Thanks

          Well, you can download a nutritional guide on their website. The chicken says zero carbs, so at the most one serving might have .5 carbs, I think you're ok to have the chicken but I would check out that guide before ordering anything else.
