3. Worst foreign dish Beef with Rice and Tortillas, Beans, and Condiments: 2,230 calories – 91 g fat (44 g saturated) – 6,391 mg sodium – 254 g carbohydrates. Since when has it ever been a good idea to combine two already sodium- and calorie- packed dishes into one giant meal? This contradictory creation delivers nearly a dozen glazed donuts worth of calories, the sodium equivalent of 195 saltine crackers, and the saturated fat equivalent of 45 strips of bacon. Macaroni Grill Parmesan Crusted Sole: 2,191 calories – 142 g fat (57 g saturated) – 2,981 mg sodium – 144 g carbohydrates. Fish is normally a safe food, but this one proves that the thing is all in the preparation. If you fry this fish in a cheese of shell, be prepared to face the consequences. It means to meet your daily calorie, saturated fat and sodium intake in one sitting. Combo Lo Mein: 1,969 calories – 95 g fat (11 g saturated) – 5,861 mg sodium. Lo mein is normally looked at as a side dish, a harmless noodle to pad your plate of broccoli beef or orange chicken. This heaping portion, to be fair, comes spiked with chicken, shrimp, beef, and pork, not to mention giant-size slick of oil. What is the damage? It is one day’s worth of fat, 1 ½ days’ worth of calories and 2 days’ worth of sodium. Chicken Fajita Rollup: 1,451 calories. The problem with wraps is that they look like holding tanks for fluids, so hasty fry-cooks can squirt in much sauce and they do it without making it look messy. With rollup, the offending sauce is a Mexican-ranch sauce that looks suspiciously more like ranch than anything eaten in Mexico. But here’s the final insult: This so called healthy meal is served with fries. While eating them you will tack on 401 extra calories.
4. Worst sandwiches Large Tuna Melt: 1,761 calories – 134 g fat (25 g saturated, 1.6 g trans) – 2,121 mg sodium. In almost all other forms, tuna is a nutritional super food, so how did it end up as the worst sandwich? Blame an absurdly heavy amount of the mayo the tuna is mixed with, along with larger than anything portion sizes. Even though they have managed to change this melt down from the original 2,000 calorie mark being firstly tested, it still sits at the bottom of the sandwich ladder. Vegetarian Sub: 1,185 calories – 61 g fat (18 g saturated) – 3,533 mg sodium – 130 g carbs. Vegetarian does not always mean healthy. Sure, this sandwich has veggies, but it also has three different kinds of cheese and a deluge of oil tucked into a hulking roll. In fact it contains a cascade of carbohydrates and more than half a day’s worth of calories. For a truly healthy pile of veggies, try the garden salad since nearly all vegetarian sandwiches are far from a model of meatless eating.
Tuna melt has 134 grams of fat? You seem to be suggesting this is a specific fast food version, but even so… Mayo is 3G per tablespoon total fat, according to the USDA website. You would really have us believe this sandwich has the equivalent of 40 tablespoons of mayo?
