I hear kangaroo fetus is extremely tender.
That all sounds delicious.
20. Worst Fast-Food Chicken Meal
Chicken Selects Premium Breast Strips from McDonald's (5 pieces) with creamy ranch sauce
830 calories55g fat (4. 5g trans fat)
48 g 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 (large)
1,510 calories
82 g fat 3,750 mg sodium
106 g carbs
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. Make the Cut: Stick to fillets and sirloins in steakhouses-they're the two leanest cuts of beef.
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 entrées you'll find in a chain restaurant.
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.
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
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
182 g fat
240 g carbs
Even if you split these "starters" with three friends, you'll have downed a dinner's worth of calories before your entrée arrives.
Super Subs utions: 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 entrée is as close as you'll come to a healthy starter.
At Chili's: Garlic & Lime Grilled Shrimp. Look for this item in the "sides."
At Outback: Seared Ahi or Shrimp on the Barbie.

What, no fruits?
I'm totally calm, I'm just telling you the food at Outback has little to do with what we eat here. As for the steaks, are they free range? We don't feed lot our cattle until just prior to sale, so the meat doesn't have the marbling throughout and tastes gamier.
Australian cuisine, elwanko, is similar to fusion - euro-asian crossover. But then what would you know?
Oddly enough, the Olive Garden isn't quite the same as eating in Italy.
i forgot to add fruits and veggies in there
those are a big staple in my diet
I bet you love eating fruits.
We don't care it tastes good
Elwanko is a lying little s bag- - head.
I think American steak is actually quite tasteless compared to Aussie steak, and I don't like the marbled fat.We don't care it tastes good
Each to his own.
Obviously they did not try the Great Wall of Chocolate at PF Chang's-- 2240 calories.
I wonder what they think of Paula Dean's restaurant.
I knew the Chipo burrito would be on there....won't make me stop eating them though
I go by taste. If I like it, I'm eating it.
I like that quality in a man!!!!
The Awesome Blossom is the best food to eat while doing business. It doesn't matter how many carbs or calories it has, all that matters is the special times you have while eating it.
Ham, egg and cheese on an English muffin.9 Health Foods That Aren't!
The authors of the bestselling new book “Eat This, Not That!” uncover the most misunderstood “health” foods in America
1. Bran Muffin
420 calories
20 grams of fat
Eat this instead!
Ham, egg and cheese on an English muffin.
300 calories
12 grams of fat
Bran muffins are comprised of two things your body doesn't want in the morning: sugar and refined flour. Both will work to e your blood sugar, which signals your body to start storing fat and sets you up for a mid-morning crash. And with only trace amounts of fiber, there's nothing healthy about this misunderstood muffin. The breakfast sandwich, on the other hand, is a surprisingly great way to start your day. Besides having fewer calories, fat, and carbs, it also offers about 20 grams of protein, which we really need in the morning to jumpstart our metabolism.
That sounds McFamiliar...
Ham, egg and cheese on an English muffin.
That sounds McFamiliar...
Yes it does ... I made that twice for my kids for breakfast last week.
I think the only place on that list I've even been to is the Outback ... and the only thing I kind of remember ordering is a few of those $10 margaritas.
The dos XX tacos are really good.
On the Border has great food.
Really? You've never eaten at McDonald's, Chilis, Chipotle or even PF Changs? Where are you eating at in San Antonio then????I think the only place on that list I've even been to is the Outback ... and the only thing I kind of remember ordering is a few of those $10 margaritas.
Chang's is awesome, but so bad for you..but still awesome
Uh oh.
Katy brought up PF Changs and spurswoman.......
