6 worst fast-food burgers:
  • Wendy's cheeseburger with everything, 700 calories, 40 g fat, 1,440 mg sodium
  • In-N-Out Burger Hamburger and French Fries, 790 calories, 37 g fat, 895 mg sodium
  • Five Guys Cheeseburger, 840 calories, 55 g fat, 1,050 mg sodium
  • Carl's Jr. Six Dollar Burger, 890 calories, 54 g fat, 2,040 mg sodium
  • Hardee's Original Thickburger, 910 calories, 64 g fat, 1,560 mg sodium
  • Burger King Triple Whopper Sandwich with cheese and mayo, 1,250 calories, 84 g fat, 1,600 mg sodium
I've never heard of some of these, but gulp! Why isn't McDonald's on the list?
My current favorite is a Whopper Jr., 370 calories, 21 g fat, 560 mg sodium. It contains 31 carbs, which is good for me. But sometimes they overload it with mayo. At McDonald's the carb counts for the burgers I've listed are in order 40, 61, and 45. The amount of sodium in fast food is absolutely outrageous.

UPDATE: Wendy's Single hamburger with everything, 470 calories, 21 g fat, 940 mg sodium, 43 g carbs. I've eaten a lot of those but I'm scaling back. Add small French fries with 330 calories, 16 g fat, 300 mg sodium, and 44 carbs, and that's 87 carbs. Too many.
