Least Healthy Items at America’s Biggest Fast Food Chains
It's still early in the year, so a lot of people are still working on that New Year's Resolution of losing weight. If you're one of those people, you probably want to avoid these menu items. If you're not one of those people, this list could go from a "what to avoid" list to a "to do" list because that's what 'Merica is all about!
Thrillist.com just worked with some dietitians to figure out the least healthy item at every fast food chain. These items are based calories, fat, salt, protein, and the ingredients. The numbers may be very eye opening:
1. Taco Bell: The DoubleDilla, which is a quesadilla with a ton of chicken and cheese. It's got 850 calories, 41 grams of fat, and 2,020 milligrams of sodium.
2. Burger King: Bacon King sandwich. 1,040 calories, 69 grams of fat, and 1,900 milligrams of sodium.
3. Wendy's: Dave's Triple. 1,070 calories and 30 grams of saturated fat.
4. McDonald's: Double Quarter Pounder with cheese. 770 calories, 45 grams of fat, and 1,310 milligrams of sodium.
5. KFC: Two-piece Extra Crispy chicken breast. 780 calories, 47 grams of fat, and 1,750 milligrams of sodium.
6. Panda Express: Chow mein. 510 calories, 22 grams of fat, and 980 milligrams of sodium. Even though it's a side dish, it has more salt than any of the other things on the menu.
