10 Fast Food Items Worse Than The KFC Double Down

So the other day my boyfriend and I were watching TV and the KFC commercial for their new double down "burger" came on and my boyfriend asked if I had seen it?  I told him no and he continued by telling me how many people were all over it because it is "disgusting", that it is unhealthy and just all meat and cheese.

I agreed that it was something I would probably not eat because I am not a big meat eater, but I also told him that it could not be THAT unhealthy.  I told him that there is at least no bun.  I do not think he bought that argument but fast food burgers and items are notoriously unhealthy.  So yes this is probably not the best thing to eat, but compared to other items I figured it would not be too far off.

So after a little digging I found an article that actually had a list of 10 items worse than the Double-Down (from BK, Mc Donalds and Wendy's) and three of them were salads!!

The Double-Down (not grilled) has 540 calories, 32g of fat and 1380mg of sodium.

Here is a list of other items:

BURGER KING

Triple Whopper:
1160 calories
76g fat
1170mg sodium

Tendercrisp Garden Salad:
670 cals
45g fat
1740mg sodium

Tendercrisp Chicken Sandwich:
800 cals
46g fat
1640mg sodium

Original Chicken Sandwich:
630 cals
39g fat
1390mg sodium

MCDONALD'S

Angus Mushroom & Swiss Burger:
770 cals
40g fat
1170mg sodium

Double Quarter Pounder With Cheese:
740 cals
42g fat
1380mg sodium

Chicken Selects 5-Piece with one packet of Buffalo Sauce:
720 cals
46g fat
2480mg sodium

WENDY'S

Chicken BLT Salad With Honey Dijon Dressing:
720 cals
51g fat
1540mg sodium

Baconator Double:
980 cals
62g fat
1740mg sodium

Southwest Taco Salad with ranch dressing and tortilla strips:
640 cals
36g fat
1590mg sodium

This list is not shocking but does show that perhaps maybe it is the audacity of Burge King to offer a "burger" without a bun but two pieces of meat as the bun that is causing more of a stir than the actual healthiness of the burger.

I agree it is too much meat, but there are people that work out and have high protein diets.  When the Atkins diet was the "trend" and encouraged many people to just eat protien (meat) we hardly heard too many complaints then. 

Well that is all for now! Hope this list helps! Happy eating. :)
