Here is a sampling of the list of the 20 worst foods to eat in 2009 courtesy of Men’s Health (via Lifehacker).
- The Worst Food in America of 2009: Baskin Robbins Large Chocolate Oreo Shake, 2,600 calories, 135 g fat … “more than a day’s worth of calories and three days worth of saturated fat, and, worst of all, usually takes less than 10 minutes to sip through a straw.”
- Worst Sandwich of 2009: Quizno’s Tuna Melt (large), 2,090 calories, 175 g fat … “Puts tuna’s healthy reputation on the line. A large homemade sandwich would likely provide one-fourth of the calories.”
- Worst Salad of 2009: T.G.I. Fridays Pecan Crusted Chicken Salad, 1,360 calories, Fat: unknown … “Six out of the seven (TGIF salads) we analyzed topped out with more than 900 calories, which means that lunchtime can be the start of something big—namely, your belly.”
- Worst Burger of 2009: Chili’s Smokehouse Bacon Triple-The-Cheese Big Mouth Burger with Jalapeno Ranch Dressing, 2,040 calories, 150 g fat … ” … Two-and-a-half day’s worth of fat—a full third of which is saturated. To do that much damage with roasted sirloin, you’d have to eat about eight 6-ounce steaks.”
Its pretty gross when a salad can contain over 1,000 calories and a sandwich has over 100 grams of fat! This is a reminder to always read the labels and WATCH WHAT YOU EAT!!
