The 10 Worst Fast Food Meals
Advertisements [?]

Wendy's Triple Baconator Combo Meal with Small Fries and Small Coke
1,850 calories
106 g fat (43 g saturated, 4 g trans)
2,780 mg sodium

Three slices of cheese, 3 hamburger patties, and 3 strips of bacon? It doesn't take a nutritionist to see the problem here. It's a shame too, because the Baconator is a serious blemish on Wendy's otherwise decent menu. Not only is it loaded with sodium and saturated fat, but it's also one of the tran-fattiest burgers on any big-chain fast food menu in the country.


Dairy Queen Chicken Strip Basket (6-piece w/Country Gravy)
1,640 calories
74 g fat (12 g saturated, 1 g trans)
3,690 mg sodium

This basket embodies everything wrong with America's eating habits. Dairy Queen has taken an already unhealthy meal of deep-fried chicken strips and french fries and made it worse by adding Texas Toast and a side of gravy. Nevermind that this meal takes up almost 80% of your daily calories or that it far surpasses your day's sodium. Heck, you could eat two large Butterfinger Blizzards and still not consume the fat load of this meal.



Quiznos Tuna Melt (Large) with Cheetos
1900 calories
145 g fat (29 g saturated, 2 g trans)
2230 mg sodium

This tuna got taken from one sea and stuck into another: A sea of mayonnaise. Eating this sandwich is the caloric equivalent to eating one whole bag of Chewy Chips Ahoy! Cookies, which makes it one of the absolute worst sandwiches in the country. Even if you order it without chips, you’re looking at 1740 calories and 27 grams of saturated fat. No thanks.
