Worst fas food - healthwise anyway

Here are a few favorites:

WhopperBurger King’s Triple Whopper With Cheese is a perfect example of why more is not better. A regular Whopper With Cheese already delivers 760 calories, 47 grams of total fat including 16 grams of saturated fat. But when you triple it up, this meal tips the scales at 1,230 calories and 82 grams of fat including 32 grams of saturated fat. (And that’s before you order a side of fries!)

You might think you’re doing a good thing by ordering the Taco Bell Fiesta Taco Salad. But don’t let the word “salad” delude you into believing that this meal is healthy. This bowlful of goodies packs 860 calories, 46 grams of total fat, 14 grams of which are saturated fat.

Subway may have several healthy sandwiches (the ones that helped poster-boy Jared slim down), but that doesn’t mean there aren’t a few bad choices on offer. Avoid the 6-inch Double Meat Classic Tuna, which, thanks to lots of artery-clogging cheese and mayonnaise, packs 790 calories, 55 grams of fat, including 16 grams of saturated fat.

On a hot summer day, a stop at Dairy Queen seems like the perfect treat. But watch out that you’re not treating yourself to more than you bargained for. A large serving of its Caramel CheeseQuake Blizzard means spooning up a whopping 1,290 calories, 500 of those calories come from fat, including 39 grams of saturated fat.
