More or Less: Calories in Fast Food

November 20, 2008

Since many of you will be traveling over the holidays, fast food may be your only option while on the road. In order to give you a little insight before ordering, take this quiz to check your calorie-count smarts. I'll give you the name of a food and a calorie amount and you tell me if it contains more or less calories.

I never eat fast food, but I have to admit that the nachos from Taco Bell look yummy! But that's more calories than I eat in a whole day!

If I were traveling this holiday, I would probably stop by WaWa for breakfast. (I don't think they have them anywhere else but Jersey, I dunno..) And they have good choices like fruit and cereal. Fast food makes me sick. I remember, I just ate a plain burger once from McDonald's and automatically felt depressed and bloated. Eww.

4/5. Got the 1st wrong but then actually thought about it and made (somewhat educated) guesses. I have not eaten fast food in FOREVER so I really had no clue. I just don't get how something can have that many calories! Also, the only fast food place I have ever eaten at in the past is McDonald's and I think maybe Wendy's once or twice when I was very young. So I don't even really know what bk/kfc/taco bell etc have, and don't care either...yuck!

Oh! I also wanted to add a tip. Sometimes (for some people) fast food is inevitable, and when it is --- order the kids meal! The portion of fries is good and usually less than 250 calories, and then the hamburger or chicken nuggets or whatever you get usually is around 250 as well. A 500 calorie meal isn't that bad when your only option is fast food AND it will fill you up.

4/5 I remember when I first started counting calories I looked up the calorie counts of all the fast food restaurant's french fries and was shocked. I never imagined it'd be so much. :shrug:Those nachos were outrageous!
