I found this on another thread and I wanted to share it here with my vv's.

20: Worst Fast-Food chicken Meal - Chicken Selects Premium Breast Strips from McDonald's (5 pieces) with cream ranch sauce.

830 Calories, 55 grams fat (4.5 trans fat), 48 carbs. Add a large

fries and regular soda and this seemingly innocuous chicken meal

tops out at 1,710 calories.

19: Worst drink - Jamba juice chocolate Moo'd Power smoothie (30

fl oz). 900 calories, 10 g fat, 183 carbs, 166 g sugar. Jamba Juice

calls it a smoothie, MSNBC calls it a milk shake. The beverage

contains as much sugar as 8 pints of Ben & Jerry's butter pecan ice cream.

18: Worst supermarket meal - Pepperidge Farm Roasted Chicken Pot Pie (whole pie). 1,020 calories, 64 g fat, 86 g carbs. Label may

say this pie serves two, but, who ever divided a small pot pie

in half? Once you crack th e crust, there will be no stopping.

17: Worst 'healthy' burger - Ruby Tuesday Bella Turkey Burger.

1,145 calories, 71 g fat, 56 g carbs.

16: Worst Mexican entree - Chipotle Mexican Grill Chicken Burrito.

1,179 calories, 47 g fat, 125 g carbs, 2,656 mg sodium.

15: Worst kids' meal - macaroni Grill Double Macaroni 'n' cheese.< /strong>

1,210 calories, 62 g fat, 3,450 mg sodium. It's like feeding your

kid 1-1/2 boxes of Kraft mac 'n' cheese.

14: Worst sandwich - Quiznos Classic Italian (large). 1,528

calories, 92 g fat, 4,604 mg sodium, 110 g carbs. A large homemade

sandwich would more likely provided about 500 calories.

13: Worst salad - On the Border Grande Taco Salad with Taco Beef.

1,450 calories, 102 g fat, 78 g carbs, 2,410 mg sodium. This isn't

an anomaly: Five different On the Border salads on the menu contain more than 1, 100 calories each.

12: Worst burger - Carl's Jr. (Hardee's on East Coast) Double Six

Dollar Burger. 1,520 calories , 111g fat. Carl's Jr. brags it's

home to this enormous sandwich, but the restaurant chain

also provides convenient nutrition info on its Web site -- so

ignorance is no excuse for eating it.

11: Worst steak - Lonestar 20 oz T-bone. 1,540 calories, 124g fat.

Add a baked potato and Lonestar's Signature Lettuce Wedge, and this is a 2,700 calorie blowout.

10: Worst Breakfast - Bob Evans Caramel banana Pecan Cream Stacked and Stuffed hotcakes. 1,540 calories, 77 g fat (9 g trans fat), 198g carbs, 109 g sugar. Five Egg McMuffins yield the same caloric cost as this stack of sugar-stuffed flapjacks, which is truly a

heavy breakfast, weighing in at a hefty pound and a half.

9: Worst dessert - Chili's Chocolate Chip Paradise Pie with

Vanilla Ice Cream. 1,600 calories, 78 g fat, 215 g carbs. Would you

eat a Big Mac for dessert? How about three? That's the calorie

equivalent of this decadent dish. Clearly, Chili's customers get

their money's worth.

8: Worst Chinese entree - P.F. Chang's Pork Lo Mein. 1,820

calories, 127 g fat, 95 g carbs. The fat content in this

dish alone provides more than 1,100 calories. And you'd have to eat

almost five servings of Pasta to match the number of carbs it

contains. Now, do you really need five servings of pasta?

7: Worst chicken entree - Chili's Honey Chipotle Crispers with

Chipotle Sauce. 2,040 calories, 99 g fat, 240 g carbs. 'Crispers'

refers to an extra thick layer of break crumbs that soak up oil

and adds unnecessary calories and carbs to these glorified chicken

strips.

6: Worst fish entree - On the Border Dos XX Fish Tacos with Rice

and Beans. 2,100 calories, 130 g fat, 169 g carbs, 4,700 mg

sodium. Perhaps the most misleadingly named dish in America : A

dozen crunchy tacos from Taco Bell will saddle you with fewer calories.

5: Worst pizza - Uno Chicago Grill Chicago Classic Deep Dish

Pizza. 2,310 calories, 162 g fat, 123 g carbs, 4,470 mg sodium.

Downing this 'personal' pizza is equivalent to eating 18 slices

of Domino's Crunchy Thin Crust cheese pizza.

4: Worst pasta - Macaroni Grill Spaghetti and Meatballs with Meat

Sauce. 2,430 calories, 128 g fat, 207 g carbs, 5,290 mg sodium.

This meal satisfied your calorie requirements for an entire day.

3: Worst nachos - On the Border Stacked Border Nachos. 2,740 calories, 166 g fat, 191 g carbs, 5,280 sodium.

2: Worst starter - Chili's Awesome Blossom. 2,710 calories, 203 g

fat, 194 g carbs, 6,360 mg sodium.

1: The worst food in America - Outback Steakhouse Aussie Cheese

Fries with Ranch Dressing. 2,900 calories, 182g fat, 240g

carbs. Even if you split these 'starters' with three friends,

you'll have downed a dinner's worth of calories before you entree

arrives.

OMG - I worked at Chili's and ate those about 1000 times.....oh and I think we have had the cheese fries EVERY time we have eaten at Outback. No wonder we are fat.

[coolcrystal 1]

I've never had any of those, but similiar just at other places... I use to get the 7 piece chicken tender meal from Chicken Express with mashed potatoes, biscuit and gravy... YUMMM.. I think that was like 2000 calories or so. Never got the cheesefries from Outback, but I did get the awesome blossom there sometimes. I'm scared to even know all the crap I use to put in my body. lol. lots of grease for sure.

#2... I was watching a show I record on my DVR called "I Lost It" from Discovery health the other day. I was just astounded because the girl they showcased lost about 80 lbs. and she did a good job. However, I think the editors of that show made a big mistake though because they showed her at Outback making selections from the menu and asking a million questions to the waitstaff and asking for special order cooking (low fat, no oils, etc.). Well, then in the next scene she is sitting there with her friends and they are all chowing down on a Bloomin' Onion!

Just thought I'd share.
