Usually if I am stuck with fast food options I go for the grilled chicken sandwiches. Just tell them to leave off the mayo (and don't get the value menu since you will be getting fries and soda). Another option is going to the fast food joints and picking the cheap $1 orders.
Salad, baked potato, chili, yogurt, grilled stuff (if available). Usually this $1 stuff is available at mcdonalds, Burger king, and wendy's. Since you said you are looking for a quick bite, not a whole meal, just eat those and leave an appetite for a healthy good dinner and you should be fine. Just don't expect to eat your 3-6 meals there. Treat them as snacks.
Other than that, ever consider grilling a bunch of chicken breasts in advance like on a George Foreman grill? Refrigerate them, and pull them out and put on a paper plate and nuke it a bit. Take it out and bring it with you to eat. Lot more work in advance though. As for your kids, start changing their eating habits now, not dramatically of course, but at least don't give in to their demands eating at those places all the time. (Of course, I was not trying to teach your kids in anyway, just a little suggestion). Good luck.
