Fast Food Fat Foods

Fast Food Fat Foods
By Hungry Girl

Hungry GirlDon't wanna use a whole day's worth of calories before lunchtime? Avoid these shocking breakfast bloopers.

This article is reprinted with permission from hungry-girl.com - a site highly recommended by Mr Breakfast. (2/11/05)

Double Trouble!
Burger King's Double Croissan'wich with Double Sausage
Steer clear of Burger King's Double Croissan'wich with Double Sausage.  This 770-calorie, 63g of fat breakfast blunder has twice the sausage and cheese of the already super-fattening regular Sausage Croissan'wich.

Why start your day with one of these?  (Unless your goal is to pop the buttons off your pants before lunch.)
Don't Eat-o This Burrito!
Del Taco's Macho Bacon And Egg Burrito
 
Del Taco's Macho Bacon & Egg Burrito is a Mexican mess!  It contains an astonishing 1030 calories, 60g of fat and 76 net carbs.  It also weighs a whole POUND! Dios Mio!
 

Carl's Jr. Breakfast BurgerBEAT IT!

Carl's Jr. Breakfast Burger - We'd like to meet the development executive who thought up THIS disaster.

It's a hamburger, topped with a fried egg, hash browns, bacon & cheese.  And it has 830 calories and 46g fat.  Is this some kind of a joke? (Psssst: it's not funny.)

Boca BurgerEAT IT! 

Satisfying Swap!  If you're daring enough to try this at home, here's what we recommend:  Top a Wonder Light Hamburger Bun with a Boca Burger, a slice of low cal turkey bacon, a small amount of scrambled egg beaters, a Dr.Praeger's broccoli pancake (they're a lot like hash browns) and a slice of fat free cheese.  This creative swap weighs in at around 295 calories and 3g of fat.  That's a lot better than swallowing the lard-tastic "meal" Carl is serving up!


More Morning Mishaps...

McDonald's Hotcakes

Jack in the Box Sausage, Egg & Cheese Biscuit  - 970 cal, 68g fat and 50 carbs.

McDonald's Hotcakes (w/2 pats of margarine, syrup) - 600 cal, 17g fat, 102 carbs

Starbucks Caramel Pecan Sticky roll - 730 calories, 40g fat, 75 carbs

Best Bets...

Starbucks Vanilla Almond Biscotti
If you're starving and need to pick something up on the way, try these:

Starbucks Vanilla Almond Biscotti:  110 calories, 5g fat,  15 carbs
Del Taco Breakfast Burrito: 250 calories, 11g fat,  23 net carbs
Carl's Jr. Scrambled Eggs (2): 180 calories, 14g fat,  1 carb
Burger King MOTT'S Strawberry Flavored Applesauce:  90 calories, 0g fat, 23 carbs
McDonald's Fruit 'n Yogurt Parfait (w/out granola): 130 calories, 2g fat, 25 carbs (with granola; 160 cal, 2g fat, 1 sat., 31 carbs)
