    Worst Fast Food Item

    This is ridiculous ....

    Carl's Jr. Double Six Dollar Burger
    with Medium Natural cut Fries and 32 oz Coke
    2,618 Calories
    144 g fat (51.5 g saturated fat)
    2892 mg sodium

    Of all the gut-growing, heart-stopping, life-threatening burgers in the fast food world, there is none whose damage to your general well-being is as catastrophic as this. Consider these heart-stopping comparisons: This meal has the caloric equivalent of 13 Krispy Kreme Original Glazed Donuts; the saturated fat equivalent of 52 strips of bacon; and the salt equivalent of seven and a half large orders of McDonald's French fries!

    Here are more of them

    Wow. Just for reference, in my half marathon my Garmin estimated that I burned about 1700 calories.

    I'm sorry but most of the suggested substitutes do not sound nearly as good and as filling as the original. How can a famous star and a side salad be equivalent to a double six dollar with medium fries?

    Also, I used to get double six dollar burgers all the time and felt they were fine because they had a decent amount of veggies. The worst for you has to be either the double six dollar guac/bacon or the double six dollar western bacon. I have trouble with those.

    I don't think you can put enough veggies on the thing to make it healthy!

    I never meant healthy, I meant satisfying

    my motto: exercise and eat very health-consciously on weekdays and let loose and enjoy life to the max on weekends. i'd love to try one of these one day. just wish i could find a carl's jr in nyc.

    i can't believe they missed the wendy's "Baconator"
    51 grams of fat and 831 calories. i guess that pales in comparison to the filty burger up top with 2600 calories
