The 10 Worst Fast Food Meals

[n2doc]

Wendy's Triple Baconator Combo Meal with Small Fries and Small Coke
1,850 calories
106 g fat (43 g saturated, 4 g trans)
2,780 mg sodium

Three slices of cheese, 3 hamburger patties, and 3 strips of bacon? It doesn't take a nutritionist to see the problem here. It's a shame too, because the Baconator is a serious blemish on Wendy's otherwise decent menu. Not only is it loaded with sodium and saturated fat, but it's also one of the tran-fattiest burgers on any big-chain fast food menu in the country.


Dairy Queen Chicken Strip Basket (6-piece w/Country Gravy)
1,640 calories
74 g fat (12 g saturated, 1 g trans)
3,690 mg sodium

This basket embodies everything wrong with America's eating habits. Dairy Queen has taken an already unhealthy meal of deep-fried chicken strips and french fries and made it worse by adding Texas Toast and a side of gravy. Nevermind that this meal takes up almost 80% of your daily calories or that it far surpasses your day's sodium. Heck, you could eat two large Butterfinger Blizzards and still not consume the fat load of this meal.



Quiznos Tuna Melt (Large) with Cheetos
1900 calories
145 g fat (29 g saturated, 2 g trans)
2230 mg sodium

This tuna got taken from one sea and stuck into another: A sea of mayonnaise. Eating this sandwich is the caloric equivalent to eating one whole bag of Chewy Chips Ahoy! Cookies, which makes it one of the absolute worst sandwiches in the country. Even if you order it without chips, you’re looking at 1740 calories and 27 grams of saturated fat. No thanks.

1. I'm feeling sick to my stomach just looking at the pictures.

blech

Give me a nice fennel and arugula salad anytime.

5. Likewise, dude

This is just gross.

[gkhouston]

12. No kidding. I just put some whole wheat dough in the bread machine for pizza.

I'm glad it won't be ready for a while.

6. I didn't know that dark meat was fattier than white. (chicken)

[kjackson227]

7. That chicken strip basket looks good to me...

but I can't eat much fast food anymore without feeling nauseous(sp). Which, I guess, is a good thing.

9. Can't open the link

Does it say anything about 2 quick cheese dogs and a beer at the 9th hole turn?

[izquierdista]

10. Bucket!

[progressoid]

11. "with Small Fries and Small Coke"

:rofl:

[Recursion]

13. 10 meals. 11 pop-up ads.

Online advertising can't die fast enough.

[EvolveOrConvolve]

14. Sounds like a challenge to me

It's not really fast food if it doesn't take you at least a little closer to death.

15. I love Quizno's tuna melt.

:yoiks:

16. The defining characteristic of Middle America

is the color brown. The houses are decorated in brown on tan on beige. The food is all brown, meat or deep fried fish on bread with brown gravies and beige sauces and tan French fries. The appearance of anything green is overstated in the photographs and half a leaf of iceberg lettuce or a razor thin slice of cardboard tomato is about it, usually picked off at the table.

I'm beginning to hate brown almost as much as I hate pink, the defining color of the 1950s.

Put all the offerings on all the fast food and lower scale restaurants on a table, you'd get a sea of brown, with the occasional green from a fast food salad drowned and wilted in beige dressing completely lost in that sea, a single life ring in the vastness of the Pacific Ocean.

No wonder everything's gone to shit in this country. Brown in, brown out.

17. LOL

It is very brown out there. And for variety the past several years, dark brown has been relabeled "chocolate."

I'm so glad nothing on that list is appealing to me. It would have been even two years ago, but not now. I genuinely don't want to overeat anymore. It just isn't worth the feeling ill for two days afterwards.

18. With the exception of the breaded chicken and fish

I'd probably get by eating any of those IF I ditched the bread, fries, chips and soda.

Saturated fat without the presence of a boatload of carbohydrates isn't a problem for me.
