The 272 Fast Food Items Highest In Calories [ACalorieCounter]

Whenever I get something out, I always feel like crap after eating it... so that's usually all I'll eat in a day. A 1200 calorie diet is a good thing, but not when you're consuming them all in one meal.
]]>Popeye's doesn't crack the top 272? Hooray!
]]>The funny thing is that i dont ahvea single one of those fast food joints in my area.
]]>Hardee's is the only one of those that started in the south.
Don't know why you don't have them in New England (maybe just not where you live, because they do probably have locations there) but they're certainly not concentrated in the south.
]]>I'd like to see the list with shakes omitted and maybe 600-700 calorie sandwiches and sides (fries, etc.) added instead.
]]>@Flossie: Is that really lipo? It looked more like a laparoscopic surgical procedure to me, which would be consistent with stomach reduction or lap banding. Or maybe not.
]]>@Hanke: I was kinda surprised by that too. I looked up Wendy's "Baconator" as the prime example of something that would surely land in the hallowed halls of "Danger: DO NOT EAT" and it weighs in at 830 calories (51.0 grams of fat). Still not something I'd chow down on regularly (if ever) but it's almost half the calories of Nathan's Fish and Chips? They must be made from the elusive Lardfish.
]]>WAS.
]]>Liposuction! Eyes hurty!!
]]>Anyways, I wonder where that Hardee's wtfgravy burrito ranks in this. That thing is simply ridiculous.
]]>I am quite surprised that there is not a single 'big-three' item on there. No McDonalds, no Burger King, no Wendys...
]]>Anecdotally I would guess that the shakes/blizzards category would still be the density belt-busters, and the platters/meals-- like Meg's Mystery Chicken Strips-- would be less so because they are physically larger than a shake.
How about a comparison of calories-per-dollar? That would be interesting to know too.
And lastly, that picture makes me want to hurl. Nice job, Ben.
]]>This is why I think it's a good idea to put nutritional info in plain and clear view in restaurants, especially fast-food places. Sure, people realize they're not eating healthy food when they go to McDonald's or whatever, but I'm sure most people don't realize just how unhealthy some of the items are.
]]>@mikala: OK, that crack about "Yack in the Box" has got me right out of my irritable mood and laughing all over the place. I work in a Texas business with a LOT of foreign nationals, and that is closer to the truth than maybe you know. :)
]]>I know we're all so incompetent that we can't spend money without checking with you first, but honest, you're not our mothers. Do you have something to say about the value of the food?
]]>
