Men’s Health is out with its list of worst foods in America, and just reading the list made me sick. The winner for worst goes to. …
Baskin Robbins Large Chocolate Oreo Shake
2,600 calories
135 g fat (59 g saturated fat, 2.5 g trans fats)
263 g sugars
1,700 mg sodium… It’s soiled with more than a day’s worth of calories and three days worth of saturated fat, and, worst of all, usually takes less than 10 minutes to sip through a straw.
Also pretty gag-inducing was the worst burger:
Chili’s Smokehouse Bacon Triple-The-Cheese Big Mouth Burger with Jalapeno Ranch Dressing
2,040 calories
150 g fat (53 g saturated)
110 g protein
4,900 mg sodium… You’ll be face to face with two-and-a-half day’s worth of fat-a full third of which is saturated. To do that much damage with roasted sirloin, you’d have to eat about eight 6-ounce steaks. It’s nearly three days’ worth of saturated fat.
I am curious as to what is the worst food you eat on a regular basis. I eat healthy almost all the time, but still can’t resist a great pizza (cheese and sauce, no other toppings) once in a while.
Hat tip to Consumerist.

No one said you had to eat em. But I have never heard or read that food is “soiled” with calories before.

LOL A sticks of butter has approx 88 grams of fat 1/3 of them sat. fat and pure death for your coronary arteries. These 2 examples above have almost the equavilent of 1.5 - 2 sticks of butter. Now I grew up on a dairy farm and like butter a lot but rarely eat it (popcorn/pancakes) and holy crap 2 sticks at once would give a guy a gall bladder attack.
Yes, GOOD pizza from a mom and pop pizzaria. One big cheese and garlic slice (and a salad) 2x per month. It’s not just the fat in a guys diet but also the white flower carbs and simple sugars particularly high fructose corn syrup that are bad news too. Check out Nurition Action Health Letter/Center for Science in the Public Interest. They rock.
Oh, I am a good cook/really good at the grill and do enjoy BBQing especially marinated pork roasts or a big ol’ London broil.
