5. The Baconator (Wendy’s)
Wendy’s is one of America’s most popular fast-food restaurants because it has a diverse menu and most of its items are truly delicious. One such item is the Baconator.
This burger contains two beef patties and some applewood-smoked bacon. Add the melted cheese and the buns, and you will get an extremely tasty and filling meal.
Unfortunately, with 67 grams of fat, this burger is really fatty and not good for your health. Besides the fat, the burger alone, without any sides or drinks, has a little over 1,000 calories.
The average daily calorie intake is about 2,000 calories, and the daily fat allowance is 66 grams. If you eat this burger, you will actually consume the maximum amount of fat for that day, and any nutritionist can tell you that this is not ok.
While I do agree with all of these “no-no’s,” I have to put in my own 2-cents’ worth. Twice a month, I order a Whopper from Burger King. Actually, it is a cheese burger… but nothing “double,” I didn’t even know that was an option. But I order the Whopper with lettuce, tomato, pickles, mustard and mayonnaise. That said, I never eat it all in one day. I eat approximately half, and save the rest (in the fridge, to be microwaved) the next day. As for what else I eat, in addition to that, well… very little, actually. Except for that Whopper, I eat ONLY organic foods, bought at an all-organic market. That Whopper is my one indulgence. I do wish that articles about the sins of fast foods would offer the suggestion of eating only half, or a third, or even a quarter (in the case of some of those subs), in which case they wouldn’t be as unhealthy as claimed. Just sayin’…
