Not everyone lives near an In-N-Out, but for those that do, there are plenty of unhealthy options to choose from on the menu! One of the worst is the 4x4, which is a burger with a ridiculous four patties! Trying to eat one is basically a workout, which is good because you're going to need to burn off some calories!
This massive burger has a little over 1,000 calories, which means you'll blow half a day's worth of calories in one sitting. It also contains 70g of fat, but the really shocking nutrition fact for the 4x4 is its sodium--it has 2,320 mg, which is seriously pushing the limit, even for this list!
Some people find the chicken at Bojangles irresistible, but these nutrition facts will probably give you pause, even if you're a Bojangles superfan. One of the worst things for your waistline you'll find on the menu is the Chicken Rice Bowl--with a biscuit, of course! However, you'd be better off just eating salt straight from the shaker.
Calorie-wise, this item isn't the worst on the list. It's got a little over 1,000 calories, which isn't great but also isn't anything to write home about. What's really shocking about this rice bowl is the sodium content. If you eat the entire thing, you're taking in 4,330 mg of sodium, which is almost two day's worth!
If you've got a sweet tooth, Cinnabon is the place to be. No matter what you buy there, you can rest assured you'll be getting warm, gooey, and sweet goodness. However, if you're worried about your diet, you might want to stick to the smells because there's not much healthy here, especially the caramel Pecanbon.
One Pecanbon has 1,080 calories, and we're not sure that a half a day's calories is a fair trade for a measly cinnamon roll. But where things really get crazy is with the sugar. The caramel Pecanbon has a whopping 75 grams of sugar, which is more than double your daily recommended amount--and then some!
There are a lot of sandwich options to choose from at Jimmy Johns, but if you can't make up your mind, there's always the Gargantuan--it's got a little bit of all the meats the restaurant has to offer. This thing is massive, so it should come as no surprise that it will have a massive effect on your diet!
The sandwich has 1,090 calories, which is just over half of what you're recommended to eat in a day. It's also got questionably high levels of fat (42g) and sodium (4,330 mg). However, it's also got 15g of sugar. That's not insanely high, but it's about half of your recommended intake, which is strange to think about considering it's a savory sandwich.
If you order a milkshake from any fast food restaurant, you should just go ahead and assume that it's going to be packed with calories, fat, and sugar. And Jack in the Box's Oreo Cookie Shake is no exception! It's one of the unhealthiest things you can find on the menu at the restaurant.
If you go with the large size, expect to take in 1,145 calories in the process--that's more than half you should have in a day! Also, brace yourself for the 60 grams of fat and 107 grams of sugar, which are both over the daily recommended limit themselves.
A&W gives other fast-food restaurants a run for their money when it comes to unhealthy frozen treats. All of their Polar Swirl options are going to be iffy when it comes to nutrition, but there's one that's just downright outrageous--the M&M Polar Swirl. These nutrition facts are going to make you think twice about ordering it!
A large M&M Polar Swirl is going to have 1,190 calories in it. That's not great, but it's definitely not the worst thing about this ice cream treat. What's worst is the sugar content--there are an insane 162g in a large! For reference, most health experts recommend between 24 and 34 grams of sugar per day for an adult.
There aren't many fast food items that have the same iconic status as Burger King's Whopper. While having an old-fashioned, single-patty Whopper might not be too terrible for you, it's a different story if you're talking about the Triple Whopper. It's got three times the meat and three times the poor nutrition!
The Triple Whopper comes in at 1,220 calories, and while that's not as bad as some items on this list, it's still crazy to think that you can get more than half a day's calories from a single burger. It's also packed with fat (82 grams), but its worst stat is definitely the sodium--a dangerous 1,470 mg.
Five Guys may be a delicious burger place, but it's pretty obvious that the food you're getting there is not going to be the healthiest. While the burgers there can be packed with calories and fat, it's their fries that you really have to watch out for. They can be deceptively unhealthy.
In a large order of fries at Five Guys, you're looking at around 1300 calories, but that's not always the case. Five Guys isn't known for their accurate, consistent portion sizes, and you're likely to find a lot of extra fries just tossed into your bag willy nilly. While that's awesome if you're looking for value, it's not awesome if you're watching what you eat.
Is there anything more delicious than McDonald's breakfast? Probably not. Unfortunately, there's not much that's unhealthier either! You probably don't need us to tell you that it's not great to start your day with hotcakes, eggs, a biscuit, sausage, and hashbrowns, but you might be surprised just how bad this dish actually is!
The McDonald's Big Breakfast comes in at a whopping 1340 calories--which is more than half of the 2000 daily calories recommended for an adult. You might be able to make this work if you eat very little for the rest of the day, but you've also got to watch out for the high fat and sodium content.
Whether it's known as Hardees or Carl's Jr. where you live, one thing remains the same--this fast food burger placed is filled with calorie- and fat-heavy choices. And one of their worst is the Monster Double Thickburger, which has 2/3rds of a pound of beef, cheese, bacon, and mayo.
If you manage to finish one of these massive burgers, you'll have eaten about 1400 calories, which is more than half what's recommended in a day. However, this burger's worst quality has to be the sodium--it's got 2,780 mg. That's almost double what you should have in a day!
If you're already eating an unhealthy burger, why not go ahead and throw an unhealthy side into the mix as well? The mozzarella cheese sticks from White Castle can more than fill that role for your meal! They may be fried, cheesy goodness, but they're still no good for you.
If you order the large ten-piece version, you're looking at 1,490 calories, which is just under 75% of your daily recommended calories. Cheese may be delicious, but it's not worth a day's worth of food! They also come with triple-digit fat (111 g) and 3,110 mg of sodium.
There's no shortage of frozen fast food treats that are less than healthy for you. Whenever sugar and cream show up, nutrition is nowhere to be found! However, one of the worst choices currently available if you're watching your weight is Dairy Queen's Royal Rock Road Trip Blizzard Treat. It's a mouthful to say and eat!
This admittedly tasty treat comes in at a staggering 1500 calories and more than 150 grams of sugar. Just to put these absurd numbers into context, you could eat a dozen doughnuts and you wouldn't hit 150 grams of sugar. If you have the self-control to eat this over the course of a couple days you might be fine, but this is terrible to eat in one sitting.
If you order any sort of triple cheeseburger from Wendy's you're going to end up with a calorie-packed meal, but their Bacon Pub Triple Cheeseburger takes things to a whole new level of unhealthy. Those three patties are topped with cheese sauce, fried onions, bacon, and all sorts of other fat-packed condiments.
The Pretzel Bacon Pub Triple Cheeseburger comes in at a whopping 1520 calories--which will set you back a little more than 75% of your daily recommended calories, not to mention fat and sodium! Those disappointing stats make it one of the worst things on the menu at Wendy's.
It's not just burgers and fries that make the list of unhealthiest fast food! There are plenty of milkshakes and other sweets that are just as bad for you. Case in point: the Sonic Oreo Peanut Butter Shake. It's one of the most calorie-packed treats you'll find on this list!
If you order a large shake, you're looking at drinking away more than 1700 calories. That's basically a day's worth of calories in a milkshake. On top of that, the large shake also boasts triple-digit fat (104 g) and sugar (111 g) stats. Is a milkshake really worth all of that?
Is it really a surprise that a triple patty cheeseburger is one of the unhealthiest things you can order? It may not be that shocking, but the nutrition facts for the triple meat Whataburger will have you raising your eyebrows. It's delicious, but there's no denying that it's terrible for you too.
With 1,885 calories per burger, you're looking at almost a day's worth of calories from this meal alone. It's got equally high fat and sodium levels, too. But what really makes this burger crazy is the sugar content. Despite it being a burger, this one has 119 grams of sugar, which is more than three times your daily recommended amount!
While Subway tries to brand itself as a healthy fast-food alternative, not everything on the menu is equal. The Chicken and Bacon Ranch Subway is just about one of the least healthy menu items you could order. The sandwich is loaded with chicken, which would be fine if it weren’t also for the bacon, ranch and melted cheddar oozing throughout.
Just how bad is it? A footlong sandwich is 1,070 calories, which is about the equivalent of a burrito. It has 52 grams of fat, 19 grams of saturated fat and 1 gram of trans fat. To make matters worse, this thing is loaded with salt too - 2,190 mg of sodium to be precise, so you’ll probably want a huge glass of water with it. Lean this chicken sandwich is not.
It should be of no surprise that McDonald’s has a ton of incredibly unhealthy menu items. Of course, everyone saw Super-Size-Me back in the day. The McDonald’s Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese is clearly so bad for you because of the sheer amount of red meat and fat involved. We are talking about a half-pound after all.
Whereas the Big Mac has plenty of buns, this has much more greasy meat. The burger is 740 calories with 42 grams of fat, including 20 grams of saturated fat and 2.5 grams of trans fat. Additionally, you’ll find 1,360 mg sodium and 43 grams of carbs that should help you feel nice and bloated after your meal.
Every takeout place offers their healthy alternatives but they are almost always taking you for a fool. The Cobb Salad with Avocado Lime Ranch Dressing is certainly one example as it is one of the unhealthiest items on their menu. It’s loaded with fat and sodium.
While people typically associate salads with healthy food that’s not usually the case with fast food. So, how do they make lettuce and vegetables unhealthy? Well, they don’t but all that fat and sodium you’ll find in the dressing. The Cobb Salad has 910 calories, 63 grams of fat and 1,870 mg of sodium.
The large Meat Lover’s at Pizza Hut is a whopping 470 calories per slice and since nobody is going to eat just one slice, you can be sure you are going to take in a ton of calories. The pizza also has 27 grams of fat with 10 grams of saturated fat. Sodium is at 970 mg, which explains why you are so thirsty after consuming it.
If you love meat on your pizza, this one is absolutely ideal but only if you eat it in moderation. Of course, a pizza loaded with salty pepperoni, ham, sausage and bacon is not the healthiest thing you could put in your body, but you only live once, right? Particularly if you are eating meat lover’s pizzas though but that’s another story.
Auntie Anne’s Mini Pretzel Dogs might seem like an innocent snack you get at the mall, but it is definitely an indulgence. We are talking about a snack with hot dogs, which everyone knows are unhealthy, combined carb-filled pretzels. Just because they are small doesn’t make the impact on your health small.
The number of calories per serving of these hot dog snacks is 630. Altogether, they have 35 grams of fat, 15 grams of saturated fat, 56 grams, and 1,290 mg of sodium. But hey, at least t has 2 grams of fiber and 20 grams of protein! That’s got to count for something, right?
Smoothie places like Jamba Juice seem like a healthy fast food alternative because of the lack of grease and fat, but where that lack in those areas they make up for in sugar. The Jamba Juice Chunky Strawberry Bowl at Jamba Juice is no healthy meal. It’s loaded with sugar and carbs.
The Strawberry Bowl features Greek yogurt, peanut butter, bananas and granola. The bowl features 580 calories, 16 grams of fat, and 94 grams of carbs. With 21 grams of protein, you are getting a decent amount of nutrition but in terms of sugar and fat, you might as well be eating a bunch of cookies.
The Smashburger Double Pulled Pork Tailgater is a BBQ lover’s dream when it comes to flavor, but anyone who indulges in this fatty mess isn’t going to feel great after eating it. The burger features 1,300 calories per serving and has a whopping 82 grams of fat including 36 grams of saturated fat and four grams of trans fat.
This monster of a burger is also loaded with salt and carbs. It has 2,470 mg of sodium and 58 grams of carbs. If you are on a high protein diet, this definitely has you covered though with 83 grams of it. It’s loaded with two beef patties, smoked pulled pork, aged swiss cheese, caramelized onions and a pretzel bun.
Popeye’s Spicy Chicken Sandwich has been one of its most popular menu items since its release. Although chicken is seen as a healthier alternative to beef burgers, when it's breaded and fried, the differences are pretty much non-existent. And in terms of Popeye’s menu itself, this sandwich has more calories than anything else on the menu.
The Popeye's Spicy Chicken Sandwich has 700 calories which would take up a large portion of your daily calorie intake. It has 42 grams of fat including 14 grams of saturated fat. Additionally, tanks to the bun and breading combined you’ve got a sandwich with 30 grams of carbs. On top of that, there’s 1,473 mg of sodium.
If you want to blow most of your calories when you are just starting your day off, get Taco Bell’s Sausage Breakfast Crunchwrap and just don’t eat any other meals…I guess… This Crunchwrap is the highest-calorie menu item at Taco Bell and that’s saying a lot. Literally, a donut would be better for you.
In addition to the calorie count, you have 47 grams of fat with 15 grams of saturated fat. Carbs are high in this one too with 51 grams. Sodium is at 1,210 mg. This salty and fatty breakfast might hit the spot in the morning but the rest of the day you are going to feel like human garbage.
Starbucks has plenty of sugary drinks that you can try to make a little healthier but hopefully, you realize how much sugar is packed in these drinks. Which one is the worst though? Difficult to say but one of them is definitely the Java Chip Frappuccino. Most of the Frappuccinos are loaded with sugar but when you add Java chips to the mix, it makes it even worse.
Having this drink at Starbucks is like having a shake for breakfast. A venti Java Chip Frappuccino has 560 calories, 21 grams of fat and 14 grams of saturated fat. You’ll also find 87 grams of carbs including 80 grams of sugar. This drink will give you plenty of energy but drinking them often will probs give you diabetes.
A burrito with fries? How could that be unhealthy? But for real now, it really shouldn’t be a surprise. The burrito features bacon, steak, fries, cheese and salsa. The fat and grease-filled disaster burrito is going to clog your arteries if you even look at it. Is it delicious? Probably. But it’s going to physically harm you.
Your health I mean. It’s not going to rob you at gunpoint…most likely. Anyway, this burrito has 1,060 calories and 60 grams of fat (23 grams of saturated fat). There are also 73 grams of carbs and a whopping 2,620 mg of sodium. There are definitely better burritos out there.
The Baskin Robbins Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Sundae is loaded with carbs. The sundae has 99 grams of carbs including 74 grams of sugar. Sodium is fairly low at 330 mg but you’ll be consuming 48 grams of fat, 23 grams of saturated fat and 1 gram of trans fat.
The sundae has three scoops of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, hot fudge, cookie dough pieces, caramel and - what would a sundae be without it: whipped cream. The whole thing has a total calorie count of 1,130, blowing half of your daily calories on dessert. Geez.
The Panera Bread Kitchen Sink Cookie is just how it sounds – a cookie with everything. It’s got chocolate, caramel nuts - it’s delicious. But it will also make you sacrifice many of your daily calories. A single cookie has 800 calories. That’s more than many fast-food hamburgers.
It has 44 grams of fat with an astounding 28 grams of saturated fat and 1 gram of trans fat. Did they put a whole stick of butter in one cookie? What is going on here? There are 97 grams of carbs and 770 mg of sodium. And again, we are talking about one cookie that’s not even going to fill you up.
Never equate the size of your snack with the calorie count on it. The Sonic Chili Cheese Tots are just a side item but they are packed with calories. A large order is 960 calories. It contains a total of 57 grams of fat with 17 grams of saturated fat. There are 92 grams of carbs and a ridiculous 2,960 mg of sodium.
These things are so unhealthy, you might as well eat vegetable shortening out of a can. The sodium content in this alone is more than the recommended amount from the American Heart Association. Sure, chili, cheese and tater tots are a winning combination in terms of taste but not when it comes to your health.
In theory, a baked potato can be a fairly healthy way to enjoy potatoes but not in the way Jason’s Deli does baked potatoes. Theirs is truly nothing plain about this loaded baked potato. It has so much going on here that it manages to become a whole meal, and probably the only meal you will want to eat if you are watching your calories.
This potato has more calories than two hamburgers. We are talking about 1,770 calories for a single baked potato – no joke. It has 94 grams of fat with 55 grams of saturated fat. There are 182 grams of carbs and a total of 1,500 mg of sodium. This potato is not messing around and to see the numbers here is just shocking. It’s a freaking potato!
