Men's Health 20 Worst Foods to Order
20. Worst Fast Food Chicken Meal
Chicken Slects Premium Breast Strips from McDonald's (5 pieces) with creamy ranch sauce 830 calories 55g fat (4.5g trans fat) 48g carbs The only thing "premium" about these strips is the caloric price you pay. Add a large fries and regular soda and this seemingly innocuous chicken meal tops out at 1,710 calories. Change Your Chicken: McNuggets have the same impact. Instead, choose Mickey D's six-piece offering with BBQ sauce and save yourself 530 calories. 19. Worst Drink Jamba Juice Chocolate Moo'd Power Smoothie (30 fl oz) 900 calories 10 g fat 183 g carbs (166 g sugar) Jamba Juice calls it a smoothie; we call it a milk shake. In fact, this beverage contains more sugar than two pints of Ben and Jerry's Butter Pecan ice cream. Turn Down the Power: Seventy-five percent of this chain's "power smoothies" contain in excess of 100 grams of sugar. Stick to Jamba's lower-calorie All Fruit Smoothies, which are the only menu items that contain no added sugar. And always opt for the 16-ounce "small." 18. Worst Supermarket Meal Pepperidge Farm Roasted Chicken Pot Pie (whole pie) 1,020 calories 64 g fat 86 g carbs The label may say this pie serves two, but who ever divided a small pot pie in half? Once you crack the crust, there will be no stopping. Pick a Better Pie: Swanson's pot pie has just 400 calories. 17. Worst "Healthy" Burger Ruby Tuesday Bella Turkey Burger 1,145 calories 71 g fat 56 g carbs We chose this burger for more than its calorie payload: Its name implies that it's healthy. The Truly Healthy Choice: Skip burgers entirely (few at Ruby Tuesday come in under 1,000 calories). Instead, order a 9-ounce sirloin with a side of steamed vegetables. 16. Worst Mexican Entree Chipotle Mexican Grilled Chicken Burrito 1,179 calories 7 g fat 125 g carbs 2,656 mg sodium Despite a reputation for using healthy, fresh ingredients, Chipotle's menu is limited to king-size burritos, overstuffed tacos, and gigantic salads —all of which lead to a humongous waistline. Make Over the Menu: There are two ways to make a Chipotle burrito healthy enough to eat: (1) 86 the rice and tortilla and request your meat, vegetables, and beans served in a bowl, or (2) Bring a friend and saw the burrito in half. 15. Worst Kids' Meal Macaroni Grill Double Macaroni 'n' Cheese 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. Your Best Option: The 390-calorie Grilled Chicken and Broccoli. 14. Worst Sandwich Quizno's Classic Italian 1370 calories 86 g fat 4490 mg sodium A large homemade sandwich would more likely provide about 500 calories. Cut the Calories: Isn't it obvious? Order a small — or save half for later. 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. The Salad for You: The Sizzling Chicken Fajita Salad supplies an acceptable 760 calories.But remember to choose a noncaloric beverage, such as water or unsweetened iced tea. 12. Worst Burger Carl's Jr. Double Six Dollar Burger 1,520 calories 111 g fat Carl's brags about this, but also provides convenient nutrition info on its Web site —so ignorance is no excuse for eating it. A Simple Solution: The Low Carb Six Dollar Burger has just 490 calories. 11. Worst Steak Lonestar 20 oz T-bone 1,540 calories 124 g fat Add a baked potato and Lonestar's Signature Lettuce Wedge, and this is a 2,700-calorie blowout. Choose with Your Head: The golden rule of steak restaurants is this: Limit yourself to a 9-ouncer or smaller. After all, that's more than half a pound of meat. You won't walk away hungry. 10. Worst Breakfast Bob Evans Caramel Banana Pecan Cream Stacked and Stuffed Hotcakes 1,540 calories 77 g fat (9 g trans fat) 198 g carbs (109 g sugar) Five Egg McMuffins yield the same caloric cost as these sugar-stuffed flapjacks. Order This Instead: The Western Omelet has 654 calories and 44 grams of protein. 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. Don't Overdo It: If you want dessert at Chili's, order one single-serving Sweet Shot; you'll cap your after-dinner intake at 310 calories. 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 carbohydrates it contains. Now, do you really need five servings of pasta? Pick Another Noodle: P.F. Chang's Singapore Street Noodles will satisfy your craving with only 570 calories. Or try the Moo Goo Gai Pan or the Ginger Chicken & Broccoli, which have 660 calories each. 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 bread crumbs that soaks up oil and adds unnecessary calories and carbs to these glorified chicken strips. Switch Your Selection: Order the Chicken Fajita Pita: At 450 calories and 43 grams of protein, it's one of the healthiest entrees you'll find in a chain restaurant. Super Substitutions: Front-load your meal with a protein-based dish that's not deep-fried. A high-protein starter helps diminish hunger without putting you into calorie overload. And remember: Appetizers are meant to be shared. At Chili's: Garlic & Lime Grilled Shrimp. Look for this item in the "sides." 6. Worst Fish Entree On the Border Dos XX Fish Tacos with Rice and Beans 2,100 calories 130 g fat 169 g carbs 4,750 mg sodium Perhaps the most misleadingly named dish in America: A dozen crunchy tacos from Taco Bell will saddle you with fewer calories. Lighten the Load: Ask for grilled fish, choose the corn tortillas instead of flour (they're lower in calories and higher in fiber), and swap out the carbohydrate-loaded rice for grilled vegetables. Super Substitutions: Front-load your meal with a protein-based dish that's not deep-fried. A high-protein starter helps diminish hunger without putting you into calorie overload. And remember: Appetizers are meant to be shared. At On the Border: Chicken Soft Tacos (250 calories each). This entree is as close as you'll come to a healthy starter. 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. Swap Your Slices: Switch to the Sausage Flatbread Pie and avert deep-dish disaster by nearly 1,500 calories. 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 satisfies your calorie requirements for an entire day. Downsize the Devastation: Ask for a lunch portion of this dinner dish (or any pasta on the menu, for that matter), and request regular tomato sauce instead of meat sauce. You'll cut the calories in half. 3. Worst Nachos On the Border Stacked Border Nachos 2,740 calories 166 g fat 191 g carbs 5,280 mg sodium The only way you should ever consider eating these is if you're rolling with a crew of eight. Turn away: You won't find a decent option on the appetizer menu. Instead, turn to the Chicken Tacos on the entee portion of the menu; at 250 calories a pop, they make as good a start to your meal as you can hope for. 2. Worst Starter Chili's Awesome Blossom 2,710 calories 203 g fat 194 g carbs 6,360 mg sodium Hard to believe that a single onion can wreak so much nutritional havoc, but batter and fry anything and serve it with a rich dipping sauce and your bound to do some damage. Start properly: At Chili's, take a detour to the "Sides" menu and try the Garlic & Lime Grilled Shrimp. 4 shrimp will only cost you 160 calories. 1. The Worst Food in America Outback Steakhouse Aussie Cheese Fries with Ranch Dressing 2,900 calories 182 g fat 240 g carbs Even if you split this "starter" with three friends, you'll have downed a dinner's worth of calories before your entree arrives. Follow this up with a steak, sides, and a dessert and you could easily break the 3,500 calorie barrier. Front-load: Start your meal with a protein-based dish that's not deep-fried. A high-protein starter helps diminish hunger without putting you into calorie overload. At Outback, that translates to either the Seared Ahi or the Shrimp on the Barbie.
