Read More The #1 Worst Menu Option at 76 Popular Restaurants

The following post The #1 Worst Menu Option at 76 Popular Restaurants is republished from Eat This Not That by Eat This, Not That! Editors

Some people see lists like these and take them as a way to figure out what’s “tasty,” what’s “not going to suck,” and what’s “okay to eat once in awhile.” But these items are literally the least nutritious, most caloric, most horrifying choices on menus that—generally speaking—aren’t exactly known for keeping people slim.

We understand that it’s practically an art to eat out and remain relatively healthy. But this list isn’t about that art — here, experts take a deep dive into the nutritional information of 76 restaurants and fast food chains and resurface with a definitive declaration: “If you go to this one restaurant, do not eat this one thing!”

Applebee’s

Hand-Battered Fish & Chips: 1,750 calories, 128 g fat (23 g saturated fat, 0.5 g trans fat), 3,940 mg sodium, 98 g carbs (8 g fiber, 13 g sugar), 52 g protein

Attack of the beige! Whenever your dinner is monochromatic (in this case, the off-brown hue of deep-fried junk), you know you’re in trouble. Choosing a dish like this is easily one of the bad habits that make you sick and fat. Don’t blame the fish—the seafood is packed with lean, muscle-building protein and heart-healthy fats. No, the trouble here lies with a massively unbalanced fish-to-fat ratio. A coating of crispy batter and a heaping pile of deep-fried potatoes is no way to treat the golden child of nutrition. When it comes to seafood, always abandon ship on fried fish and opt for grilled instead.

Double Meat Farmer’s Choice Breakfast (Three hotcakes, two freshly-cracked eggs, two sausage patties, three strips bacon, and homefries): 2,020 calories, 89.9 g fat (26.5 g saturated fat, 1 g trans fat), 4,810 mg sodium, 237 g carbs (7 g fiber, 43 g sugar), 69 g protein

What has over a day’s worth of calories and two days’ worth of saturated fat? This sneaky diet-derailing dish. Where all that fat and sodium comes from we may never know, but we can tell you this: This is one breakfast that will offer no benefits to your day. Stay far, far away—especially if you’ve been trying to cleanse your body of junk!

O’Charley’s

Top Shelf Combo Appetizer with Spicy Jack Cheese Wedges, Chicken Tenders, and Overloaded Potato Skin: 1,880 calories, 132 g fat (48 g saturated fat, 0 g trans fat), 3,300 mg sodium, 74 g carbs (4 g fiber, 9 g sugar), 88 g protein

When it comes to contributing to our nation’s ever-expanding collective waistline, O’Charley’s — home of Free Pie Wednesdays and caloric Southern-inspired fare — is certainly doing their part. And this dish is no exception. Sitting down to a giant plate of nutrient-void cheese wedges, chicken tenders and “overloaded” potato skins is a recipe for disaster if you’re trying to improve your health — even if you consider it one of your weekly cheat meals.

Buffalo Wild Wings

Large Asian Zing Boneless Wings: 2,380 calories, 102 g fat (40 g saturated fat, 4 g trans fats), 6,750 mg sodium, 284 g carbs (16 g fiber, 67 g sugar), 67 g protein

Even if you divide this 20-piece platter into two portions, you’d still consume over 1,000 calories and more than your entire daily recommended intake of sodium! Not to mention, these also happen to be one of the highest sugar restaurant meals. Wings may be tasty, but there are far better ways to spend your salt allowance.

California Pizza Kitchen

Jamaican Jerk Chicken Thin Crust Pizza, 1 pie: 1,320 calories, 42 g fat (18 g saturated fat, 0 g trans fat), 3,960 mg sodium, 162 g carbs (6 g fiber, 36 g sugar), 72 g protein

Think “Thin Crust” always translates to “healthy option?” Well, think again. These slimmer slices have as many carbs as a traditional slice, but way more sodium. In fact, it has more sodium than 22 slices of Oscar Mayer Hardwood Smoked Bacon! Scary stuff, right?

Carrabba’s

Fettuccine Weesie: 1,510 calories, 95 g fat (62 g saturated fat, 2 g trans fat), 3,430 mg sodium, 98 g carbs (8 g fiber, 6 g sugar), 58 g protein

Shrimp! Mushrooms! Fresh basil! When you read the list of ingredients that goes into this dish, it’s hard to imagine it would be such a nutritional nightmare. But this is the restaurant industry we’re talking about here. Would you expect anything less? If you’re looking for carbs that won’t derail your weight loss progress, check out these healthy carbs instead.

Cheesecake Factory

Pasta Carbonara with Chicken: 2,340 calories, 145 g fat (70 g saturated fat, 3.5 g trans fat), 4,030 mg sodium, 141 g carbs (10 g fiber, 11 g sugar), 85 g protein

We give the Cheesecake Factory props for rolling out some lighter options as of late, but its menu is still home to some of the most caloric fare in the nation. This creamy pasta dish, which is just cream, pasta, and chicken, has more than a day’s worth of calories and more saturated fat than 43 eggs!

Chili’s

Courtesy of Chili's

Crispy Honey Chipotle & Waffles: 2,510 calories, 125 fat (40 g saturated fat, 0.5 g trans fat), 4,480 mg sodium, 283 g carbs (13 g fiber, 105 g sugar), 64 g protein

With over a day’s worth of calories and more fat than 8 hot dogs, this Southern-inspired, fried chicken and waffles will pop the button right off your skinny jeans! Even if you shared it with a friend, you’d be taking in 2.8 times the American Heart Association’s recommended daily intake of saturated fat. Make it a rule to avoid anything with the word quesadilla in the title when you’re at Chili’s (yes, even the salads) none of the options have less than 1,400 calories per serving—not what you should be eating if your goal is to lose belly fat.

Denny’s

Courtesy of Denny's

Cinnamon Roll Pancake Breakfast (includes 2 pancakes, 2 eggs, 2 bacon strips, and hash browns): 1,810 calories, 70 g fat (24 g saturated fat), 2,670 mg sodium, 263 g carbs (5 g fiber, 186 g sugar), 29 g protein

“It’s just pancakes, how bad could it be?” You ask. “Pretty bad.” We say. Not only is this one of the highest-calorie breakfasts on Denny’s menu, it’s also one of the sweetest. These pancakes have more sugar than 13 servings of Breyers’ Natural Vanilla Ice Cream. Eat at your own risk!

Friendly’s

Courtesy of Friendly's

Clam Strips Platter: 1,550 calories, 90 g fat (20 g saturated fat, n/a g trans fat), 2,710 mg sodium, 160 g carbs (10 g fiber, 10 g sugar), 40 g protein

Unless you’re stocking up to hibernate for winter, there’s no reason ever to order a menu item that contains the word “platter.” More often than not, it’s code for “way too many calories, carbs, and fat.” Don’t believe it? Consider: This bland bowl of beige serves up more carbs than 19 chocolate chip cookies and more calories than 122 small clams. Proceed with caution at the not-so-friendly restaurant—and be sure to steer clear of these restaurant foods with crazy-high amounts of sugar, too. They’ll all undo all of your valiant weight loss efforts.

iHop

Appetizer Sampler with Ranch Dressing: 1,680 calories, 96 g fat (22 g saturated fat, 1 g trans fat), 3,490 mg sodium, 146 g carbs (9 g fiber, 13 g sugar), 59 g protein

Just look at that plate of crispy brown nastiness! “Monster” mozzarella sticks, onion rings and chicken strips all on one plate? This dish is a giant fat bomb tainted with trans fats and sky-high levels of salt. Even if you split it with a friend, you’d still offset an entire day of smart eating!

Maggiano’s

Norm J./Yelp

Gnocchi & Italian Sausage: 1,540 calories, 90 g fat (41 g saturated fat, 1.5 g trans fat), 5,180 mg sodium, 101 g carbs (9 g fiber, 6 g sugar), 66 g protein

It might not be the most caloric pasta on the menu (that honor goes to the Braised Beef al Forno at 1,760 calories), but the Gnocchi & Italian Sausage comes pretty close. This dish does, however, take the cake for one of the highest sodium menu items we’ve ever seen. Eat this entire thing, and you’ll consume two and a quarter days’ worth of sodium—or the equivalent of 25 one-ounce bags of Kettle Brand Salt & Vinegar chips. Plus, it has half a gram shy of your day’s worth of trans fat. Not convinced you should add it to your “do not eat” list? Consider this: A 150-pound woman would need to run for nearly three hours to burn it off. And this is only the entrée! Add your appetizer, dessert, and a drink, and it’s easy to amass half a week’s worth of calories in one meal at Maggiano’s.

Bonefish Grill

Courtesy of Bonefish Grill

Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos With French Fries: 1,570 calories, 98 g fat (23 g saturated fat, 1 g trans fat), 3,830 mg sodium, 129 g carbs (14 g fiber, 20 g sugar), 42 g protein

In their purest form, shrimp are some of the healthiest proteins you can buy. But despite their innocent appearance, these shrimp are not in your average taco. After the chefs at Bonefish doused these guys in a seasoned batter, the dinner platter became your body’s worst nightmare, serving up more than a half a day’s worth of trans fat and nearly a day and half’s worth of sodium!

On The Border

Julianna C./Yelp

Dos XX Fish Tacos With Rice & Black Beans: 1,980 calories, 103 g fat (33 g saturated fat, 0.5 trans fat), 4,700 mg sodium, 181 g carbs (18 g fiber, 7 g sugar), 59 g protein

For $12.29, On the Border will give you a full day’s calorie intake, nearly two day’s of salt and three days of fat in the form of their beer-battered, deep fried fish tacos. Remember when fish was actually healthy? Us, too! And in your kitchen, it still is, if you pick the right kind. U

P.F. Chang’s

Courtesy of P.F. Chang's

Walnut Shrimp with Melon: 1,340 calories, 107 g fat (17 g saturated fat, 1 g trans fat), 1,340 mg sodium, 72 g carbs (13 g fiber, 50 g sugar), 33 g protein

Shrimp is a healthy protein, right? Wrong—when it’s deep-fried and tossed in a sugary sauce. This seemingly innocent dish is one of the most caloric on the P.F. Chang’s menu. This order also happens to contain your entire day’s worth of added sugars. Looks like you got to have dessert for dinner after all.

Red Lobster

Courtesy of Red Lobster

Bar Harbor Lobster Bake: 1,250 calories, 56 g fat (13 g saturated fat, 1.5 g trans fat), 3,450 mg sodium, 106 g carbs (10 g fiber, 5 g sugar), 76 g protein

It’s hard to screw up a plate of roasted lobster tail, shrimp, sea scallops, and mussels, but by adding linguini and a fatty garlic-and-white-wine sauce, Red Lobster manages to transform a protein-rich plate of seafood into one that can give you an instant heart attack. Just say no to this deep-sea diet bomb.

Romano’s Macaroni Grill

Courtesy of Romano's Macaroni Grill

Macaroni Grill Chicken Parmesan: 1,610 calories, 92 g fat (17 g saturated fat, 0.5 g trans fat), 1,890 mg sodium, 120 g carbs (10 g fiber, 13 g sugar), 79 g protein

Beware: This isn’t your bubby’s classic chicken parm! The massive serving of capellini under the poultry is doused in a thick sauce, and the Milanese-style chicken is piled high with fatty mozzarella. And even if you split this dish with a friend, you’d take in half the day’s calories, salt, and saturated fat. But all hope is not lost, pasta fans; to eat your favorite Italian noodles without losing your figure, check out these 40 pasta tips to stay skinny!

Ruby Tuesday

@RubyTuesday/Twitter

Chicken & Broccoli Pasta: 1,395 calories, 81 g fat (28 g saturated fat, 1 g trans fat), 3,533 mg sodium, 101 g carbs (7 g fiber, 4 g sugar), 53 g protein

Topped with chicken, broccoli, and layers of parmesan cream sauce and scampi butter, this grown-up twist on your favorite childhood pasta dish is one of the worst pasta dishes you can order when you dine out. In fact, all of the pasta dishes at Ruby Tuesdays carry more than 900 calories! Stay away if you want to stay slim.

Friday’s

Courtesy of Fridays

Signature Whiskey-Glazed Ribs, Full-Rack (with coleslaw & seasoned fries): 1,520 calories, 74 g fat (23 g saturated fat, 0 g trans fat), 3,660 mg sodium, 177 g carbs (7 g fiber, 127 g sugar), 44 g protein

Three words sum up this T.G.I. Fridays’ dish: Salty, fat-laden disaster. You’d be better off having two McDonald’s Big Macs than this monstrosity. It’s hard to imagine, we know, but you’d actually take in fewer calories, fat, carbs, sugar and blood-pressure-spiking salt.

Olive Garden

Courtesy of Olive Garden

Chicken & Shrimp Carbonara: 1,390 calories, 94 g fat (50 g saturated fat, 3 g trans fat), 2,050 mg sodium, 75 g carbs (3 g fiber, 10 g sugar), 64 g protein

Olive Garden’s menu is in desperate need of a makeover. The seafood is swimming in sodium, the cocktails are packed with sugar, and the average dinner-size plate of pasta packs a staggering 976 calories — thanks in part to the soggy plate of carbs pictured above. Not only does it pack nearly a day’s worth of sodium, but it also serves up a day’s worth of trans fat), an artificial fat that’s been linked heart disease. All of this is before you tack on the breadsticks and salad.

Cracker Barrel

Homestyle Chicken: 1,430 calories, 97 g fat (21 g saturated fat, 0 g trans fat), 3,370 mg sodium, 71 g carbs (6 g fiber, 4 g sugar), 69 g protein

Steer clear of Cracker Barrel on Sundays: the only day this daily special is served. The chain restaurant breads and deep-fries its chicken tenders, lending the dish 92 grams of fat. Since the portion is oversized, you can split the dish with your fam and still get your fried chicken fix.

Outback Steakhouse

Outback Steakhouse/Facebook

Bloomin Onion: 1,950 calories, 155 g fat (56 g saturated fat, 7 g trans fat), 3,840 mg sodium, 123 g carbs (14 g fiber, 18 g sugar), 18 g protein

It might be one of the most iconic dishes on Outback’s menu but that shouldn’t encourage you to pick apart the blooming onion.

Longhorn Steakhouse

Chili Cheese Fries (large): 2,050 calories, 129 g fat (57 g saturated fat, 3 g trans fat), 3,710 mg sodium, 139 g carbs (14 g fiber, 6 g sugar), 82 g protein

Who knew the classic combo of chili and cheese atop fries will cost you over two thousand cals? If you thought the calorie count was scary, just take a look at the amount of heart-harming trans fat in this pick. Yikes!

Uno Pizzeria & Grill

@UnosChicagoGrill/Twitter

Deep Dish Individual Chicago Fire Pizza: 2,400 calories, 168 g fat (44 g saturated fat, 0 g trans fat), 3,880 mg sodium, 132 g carbs (4 g fiber, 4 g sugar), 84 g protein

This individual pie packs a calorie, fat, and sodium punch. And don’t even think about reaching for seconds; you’ll get a double dose of Chicago Fire chicken tenders, jalapeños, gorgonzola, cheddar, mozzarella, and bleu cheese dressing.

Burger King

@BurgerKing/Twitter

Bacon King Sandwich: 1,150 calories, 79 g fat (31 g saturated fat, 3.5 g trans fat), 2,150 mg sodium, 49 g carbs (2 g fiber, 10 g sugar), 61 g protein

This two-patty, bacon-topped sandwich is by far the worst burger on Burger King’s menu, surpassing all others in waistline-demolishing ingredients. The quarter-pound patties, bacon, cheese, and mayo alone deliver a whopping 79 grams of fat—worse than five of the King’s classic hamburgers. It also comes packed with 3.5 grams of artery-clogging trans fats and 31 grams of saturated fat, which is more than you should have in an entire day.

McDonald’s

Double Mushroom & Swiss Burger: 940 calories, 56 g fat (22 g saturated fat, 2.5 g trans fat), 1,160 mg sodium, 53 g carbs (3 g fiber, 11 g sugar), 56 g protein

A remnant from the days when “super-sizing” was cool, this sandwich takes a perfectly fine burger and multiplies it by two. There’s no reason to eat a half-pound of beef for lunch, unless, of course, it’s 2004 and you’re making a documentary about getting fat.

Moe’s Southwest Grill

Courtesy of Moe's Southwest Grill

The Homewrecker Burrito with Chicken: 945 calories, 35 g fat (15 g saturated, 0 g trans fat), 1,859 mg sodium, 122 g carbs (17 g fiber, 8 g sugar), 50 g protein

Homewrecker? More like an ab wrecker! This burrito has not one, not two, but three major sources of carbs (tortilla, rice, and beans) and two major sources of fat (cheese and guac), so it’s really no surprise it has such a scary nutritional profile. Watch out for your sides too. The monster burrito also comes with an additional 400 calories of chips and salsa (not included in nutrition information above).

Chick-fil-A

Courtesy of Chick-fil-A

Chick-fil-A Cobb Salad with Avocado Lime Ranch Dressing: 820 calories, 59 g fat (12 g saturated fat), 1,880 mg sodium, 31 g carbs (6 fiber, 7 g sugar), 41 g protein

It may not look too dangerous, but this is the absolute worst item you could order at Chick-fil-A. The sodium count alone is clucking ridiculous! The one thing that cemented this salad’s place on the “Worst” list? The Avocado Lime Ranch Dressing. With inflammatory soybean oil as a leading agent, you can bet that the 32 grams of fat this dressing contains are a major reason why the small packet climbs up to 310 calories. (And, by the way, that’s as many calories as a Chick-fil-A Grilled Chicken Sandwich!)

Arby’s

Courtesy of Arby's

Roast Turkey Ranch & Bacon Sandwich: 800 calories, 34 g fat (10 g saturated fat, 0.5 g trans fat), 2,420 mg sodium, 79 g carbs (5 g fiber, 16 g sugar), 45 g protein

When made in the safety of your own kitchen, a turkey sandwich isn’t a half-bad lunch option, but tread carefully in the land of greasy-spoon finger foods. This sandwich is over-packed with carbs, fat, and sugar. Yes, sugar! Where’s all the sweet stuff coming from? Most likely the honey wheat bread, which is just blood sugar-spiking junk in disguise.

Chipotle

Carnitas Burrito with White Rice, Black Beans, Roasted Chili-Corn Salsa, Queso, Sour Cream, Cheese, and Guac: 1,520 calories, 75 g fat (28.5 g saturated fat, 0 g trans fat), 2,730 mg sodium, 143 g carbs (20.5 g fiber, 10 g sugar), 62 g protein

This fully loaded burrito from Chipotle has a day’s worth of salt and more than a day’s worth of saturated fat. Yes, seriously. But that’s not all: This dinnertime disaster serves up more carbs than you’d find in nearly six whole-grain dinner rolls! Although almost everything in this burrito is carb-heavy, the tortilla (46 grams) and white rice (40 grams) tip the scales.

Taco Bell

XXL Grilled Stuft Burrito, Beef: 870 calories, 40 g fat (14 g saturated fat, 1 g trans fat), 2,130 mg sodium, 96 g carbs (13 g fiber, 6 g sugar), 32 g protein

Watch out for terms like “XXL” and “Stuft”—they’re both codes for “far from diet-friendly.” This particular meathead burrito may offer up 32 grams of protein but it also contains a whopping 96 grams of carbs (about what you’d find in 6 slices of Ezekiel bread), and you’re also holding a whole day’s worth of salt in one hand. These are just two of the many factors that make this dish a “Not That!” Oh, and don’t even think about washing it down with one of these 70 drinks that give you a soda belly!

Pizza Hut

Meat Lover’s 14″ Large Original Pan Pizza, 1 Slice: 470 calories, 28 g fat (10 g saturated fat, 0.5 g trans fat), 1,000 mg sodium, 36 g carbs (2 g fiber, 1 g sugar), 19 g protein

You can love meat without taking in half a day’s saturated fat with one slice of pizza. Specialty pies are an excuse to go crazy with a ton of high-fat toppings that do virtually nothing for flavor and increase your calorie load considerably. At Pizza Hut, don’t be a lover, be a fighter with the less caloric pepperoni slice. Or better yet, make one of these healthy homemade pizzas, instead.

KFC

Courtesy of KFC

Chicken Pot Pie: 790 calories, 41 g fat (25 g saturated fat, 0 g trans fat), 1,750 mg sodium, 60 g carbs (7 g fiber, 5 g sugar), 26 g protein

Chicken pot pie: The dish your mom makes for your dad on his birthday and the meal your grandma loved whipping up for your mom when she was a kid. Word of warning: This isn’t anything like the homemade variety you know and love. Despite the fact that this is one of the only dishes at KFC that’s stuffed with veggies and never touches the deep fryer, it’s still the worst option on the menu. The main calorie culprit is its buttery shell, but the creamy sauce that binds the filling together certainly doesn’t help matters either.

To save 200 calories and 15 grams of fat while enjoying 18 more grams of protein, order an Original Recipe Chicken Breast with Mashed Potatoes, Gravy, and Sweet Kernel Corn. Or if you’d rather just enjoy come poultry at home, whip up one of these amazing healthy chicken recipes.

Papa John’s

Pepperoni, Sausage & Six Cheese Extra Large 16″ Original Crust Pizza, 1 slice: 410 calories, 21 g fat (9 g saturated fat, 0 g trans fat), 950 mg sodium, 40 g carbs (1 g fiber, 3 g sugar), 16 g protein

Formerly known as “John’s Favorite,” the Pepperoni, Sausage & Six Cheese pizza features pepperoni, sausage and six different types of fatty cheese. Just like how Papa John’s cut their founder John Schnatter out of the business, we recommend you cut this pizza out of your life.

Wendy’s

Dave’s Triple: 1,090 calories, 72 g fat (30 g saturated fat, 4 g trans fat), 1,650 mg sodium, 43 g carbs (3 g fiber, 9 g sugar), 71 g protein

Dave’s Triple is triple trouble! Start with three beef patties, and you’re already skating on thin nutritional ice. To make matters worse, this dish has three pieces of processed cheese and fatty mayo. The result? A burger that has two days’ of heart-harming trans fat and as much fat as nearly five orders of small fries off the Wendy’s menu.

Jack In The Box

Bacon & Swiss Buttery Jack: 887 calories, 59 g fat (25 g saturated fat, 2 g trans fat), 1,346 mg sodium, 48 g carbs (3 g fiber, 11 g sugar), 42 g protein

Jack in the Box’s menu has come a long way in the past few years, but a few major changes still need to be made, including banishing this bacon-topped beef burger. If the double helping of meat wasn’t bad enough, Jack adds garlic herb butter, Swiss cheese and globs of bacon mayo to his signature bun—and your buns will pay for it if you indulge. Just say no to this rear-expanding dish.

Sonic

Large OREO Chocolate Shake: 1,430 calories, 73 g fat (45 g saturated fat, 2 g trans fat), 1,090 mg sodium, 178 g carbs (4 g fiber, 119 g sugar), 19 g protein

One former Sonic employee may have told the Reddit community to never order the Steak or Grilled Chicken, but we found something else you should back away from. This super-sized sip has more calories than 24 chocolate chip cookies, more fat than 22 strips of pan-fried bacon and more sugar than 6 Snicker bars! Need any more explanation as to why it made this list? Didn’t think so. Stay away if you want to protect your hard-earned flat belly!

Popeye’s

Shrimp Po’ Boy: 660 calories, 41 g fat (11 g saturated fat, 1 g trans fat), 1,980 mg sodium, 61 g carbs (4 g fiber, 3 g sugar), 16 g protein

If you want something fried and starchy at Popeyes, go with the Loaded Chicken Wrap and skip this crustacean-filled calorie bomb. With a day’s worth of salt and half a day’s trans fat—the most dangerous fat in all the land—this is one nutritionally poor Po Boy.

Boston Market

1/2 Rack St. Louis Style BBQ Ribs with Fresh Steamed Vegetables, Mashed Potatoes, Zesty BBQ sauce, and Cornbread: 1,360 calories, 80 g fat (26 g saturated fat, 0 g trans fat), 3,660 mg sodium, 105 g carbs (7 g fiber, 47 g sugar), 51 g protein

You knew ribs weren’t exactly healthy, but did you realize that they are filled with so much fat and sugar?! To keep 400+ calories and 73 grams (!!!) of waist-expanding fat off of your plate, ask for the Quarter Skinless Rotisserie Chicken with Zesty BBQ Sauce, Fresh Vegetable Stuffing, Garlic Dill New Potatoes. Wouldn’t you rather enjoy a big plate of variety instead of one lame rack of ribs?

Carl’s Jr

Courtesy of Carl's Jr.

The 1/2 lb. Guacamole Bacon Thickburger: 1,200 calories, 89 g fat (30 g saturated fat, 3 g trans fat), 1,990 mg sodium, 51 g carbs (4 g fiber, 12 g sugar), 46 g protein

We’re usually on board with guacamole, mainly because avocados are made up of healthy fats like heart-protective monounsaturated fats. But this burger topped with bacon, pepper jack cheese, and Santa Fe sauce is most definitely an exception to the rule. Not only does it fill your belly with half a day’s calories, but it also has more salt than 73 saltine crackers—which is 310 milligrams shy of an entire day’s worth! Next time you’re at Carl’s, order the All-Natural Burger sans mayo instead.

Panera Bread

Steak & White Cheddar Panini on Hoagie Roll: 910 calories, 41 g fat (16 g saturated fat, 1 g trans fat), 1,390 mg sodium, 86 g carbs (5 g fiber, 6 g sugar), 48 g protein

Panera’s Steak & White Cheddar Panini contains 1,000 fewer milligrams of sodium than their Italian sandwich, but it earned our worst spot because it’s higher in calories, saturated fat, trans fat, carbs, and sugar. If you can’t bear to part with this sad excuse for a lunchtime classic, at least order the half-portion and pair it with a house salad—your waistline and blood pressure with thank you.

Jimmy John’s

The J.J. Gargantuan on Wheat Bread: 1,120 calories, 59 g fat (15 g saturated fat, 0 trans fat), 3,560 mg sodium, 75 g carbs (7 g fiber, 15 g sugar), 81 g protein

Jimmy says that this sandwich is “huge enough to feed the hungriest of all humans!” And we think he hit the nail on the head—1,120 calories is a lot to down in one sitting. Thanks to the salami, sliced smoked ham, capicola, roast beef, turkey and provolone combo you’ll also get a day-and-a-half of fat—what a deal! Plus, you get a hefty 15 grams of sugar when you order it on (what you thought was healthy) wheat bread! (If you can’t tell, we’re being sarcastic.)

Long John Silver’s

Courtesy of Long John Silver's

Baja Fish Taco, 2 tacos: 820 calories, 42 g fat (8 g saturated fat, 0 g trans fat), 2,580 mg sodium, 80 g carbs (6 g fiber, 14 g sugar), 26 g protein

Fat in the breading, fat in the sauce, fat in the tortillas—and none of it’s the healthy kind. It all adds up to a half day’s worth of the stuff, plus over a full day’s allotment of salt. While Long John Silver’s has come a long way in recent years, there are still plenty of fried entrees that could sink your battleship.

Dairy Queen

1/2 lb. FlameThrower GrillBurger: 970 calories, 68 g fat (25 g saturated fat, 2 g trans fat), 1,570 mg sodium, 39 g carbs (2 g fiber, 9 g sugar), 51 g protein

Picking the worst dish at DQ was pretty tough. Though a nearly 1,000 calorie burger is borderline unethical, that’s nothing compared to the chain’s 1,250-calorie, six-piece Chicken Strip Basket. At the end of the day, though, the burger’s massive trans fat count earned it a place on our Terrible 40 list. While the chicken has just a half-gram of the stuff, this bad-boy burger packs an entire day’s worth. Skip it at all costs.

Hardee’s

2/3 LB. Monster Thickburger: 1,300 calories, 90 g fat (33 g saturated fat), 3,140 mg sodium, 53 g carbs (2 g fiber, 13 g sugar), 76 g protein

If the fat count on the 2/3 LB. Monster Thickburger has you wondering what Hardee’s piles on this thing, take note of the thick pile of bacon peeking out from between its buns. But what really burns us up is how much sodium they back into a meal you can eat with your hands: 136 percent of what you should eat — in an entire day!

Almost each nutritional is in the triple digits or above—just look at that scary sodium count! Sure, you’re not eating the entire pie in one sitting but even that doesn’t justify ordering this meaty monster. If you’re taking a shopping break at Sbarro, go for the NY Mushroom Pizza Slice, which packs in a more approachable 360 calories and only 6 grams of saturated fat.

Alfredo sauce—whether you buy it in a jar, make it from scratch, or order it in a restaurant—will always be ultra caloric and fatty, and this creamy dish is no exception. Skip the massive calorie and sodium counts and go for one of Noodles & Company’s red-sauce-based dishes.

Folks in Italy stay skinny by steering clear of this classic sammy. A slew of deli meats are piled atop a footlong sub, which justifies the preposterous amount of blood-pressure-spiking sodium. If you order this, split it with a friend and don’t forget to refill your water glass.

A&W

Root Beer, Gallon: 1,860 calories, 0 g fat (0 g saturated fat, 0 g trans fat), 860 mg sodium, 500 g carbs (0 g fiber, 480 g sugar), 0 g protein

If you’re cooking chicken wings in the comfort of your own kitchen, they can be a solid meal option that’s packed with protein.

Waffle House

Domain D./Yelp

Papa Joe’s Pork Chop (3) & Eggs, Meat Lovers: 1,620 calories, 92 g fat (36 g saturated fat, 1 g trans fat), 2,840 mg sodium, 66 g carbs (4 g fiber, 2 g sugar), 133 g protein

Three pork chops, eggs, hashbrowns, and Texas toast ring in a whopping 1,620-calorie dish. While pork is one of our best proteins for weight loss, the triple order won’t do any wonders for your waistline.

Little Caesars

Rhiannon K./Yelp

3 Meat Treat Pizza: 3,370 calories, 165 g fat (70 g saturated fat, 3 g trans fat), 6,990 mg sodium, 321 g carbs (16 g fiber, 16 g sugar), 153 g protein

Little Caesars is known for its hot-n-ready pies, but this three-meat treat is nothing to carry out. The large round pizza piles pepperoni, Italian sausage, and bacon high for a pie that packs in an outrageous 165 grams of fat and almost 7,000 milligrams of sodium. That’s more than you’d find in three teaspoons of salt!

Huddle House

BBQ Bacon Cheddar Burger: 950 calories, 62 g fat (23 g saturated fat, 4 g trans fat), 1,260 mg sodium, 53 g carbs (3 g fiber, 16 g sugar), 44 g protein

Sixteen grams of sugar in a burger? That’s more than half a day’s worth of the sweet stuff and you can chalk that up to the Bull’s Eye BBQ sauce Huddle House slathers on the patty. You’re better off sticking to the short stack.

Church’s Chicken

Mike L./Yelp

Cob Sandwich: 810 calories, 55 g fat (9 g saturated fat, 0 g trans fat), 1,460 mg sodium, 50 g carbs (1 g fiber, 4 g sugar), 25 g protein

Yup, White Castle offers a literal sack of its battered and fried bite-sized hash browns. While the sack is offered for sharing purposes, it can be a dangerous treat if you allow yourself to reach in for seconds, thirds, and fourths. If you need the potato fix, opt for the small serving, which contains 360 calories.

Potbelly Sandwich Shop

Ice Cream Sandwich (Sugar), Original: 1,240 calories, 57 g fat (35 g saturated fat, 2 g trans fat), 690 mg sodium, 168 g carbs ( 0 g fiber, 96 g sugar), 16 g protein

While we’re all for the once-in-a-while dessert, ending your lunch with this loaded ice cream sandwich is definitely not worth the calories. The treat is crafted with two sugar cookies—which clock in at 530 calories each—and hand-scooped vanilla ice cream in the center. Talk about a sugar crash!

El Pollo Loco

El Pollo Loco/Facebook

Chips & Guac (Family): 1,260 calories, 87 g fat (11 g saturated fat, 0 g trans fat), 900 mg sodium, 116 g carbs (29 g fiber, 5 g sugar), 15 g protein

Pass around the chips and guac from El Pollo Loco and your fam will munch on almost 1,300 calories just from this simple app. Try making your own at home instead with avocado, lemon juice, jalapenos, and salt and pair the mash with crunchy veggies to hike up the fiber count.

Dairy Queen

Honey Hot Glazed Chicken Strip Basket, 6 pc: 1,580 calories, 720 g fat (12 g saturated fat, 0 g trans fat), 4,470 mg sodium, 162 g carbs (8 g fiber, 39 g sugar), 53 g protein

Buffalo Chicken Finger Plate (6 Fingers): 1,670 calories, 107 g fat (20 g saturated fat), 4,800 mg sodium, 116 g carbs (18 g fiber, 16 g sugar), 91 g protein

Louisiana Voodoo Fries, Large: 910 calories, 49 g fat (9 g saturated fat), 1,710 mg sodium, 100 g carbs (0 g fiber, 2 g sugar), 16 g protein

Wingstop recently debuted this southern side that slaps Cajun seasoning, ranch, and cheddar cheese on fresh-cut fries. This “side” boasts enough calories to be considered a cheat meal, so forget pairing it with the wings.

Tim Hortons

Italiano Grilled Bagel Sandwich: 640 calories, 27 g fat (11 g saturated fat, 0 g trans fat), 2,320 mg sodium, 64 g carbs (4 g fiber, 6 g sugar), 36 g protein

This pressed panini serves up 600 calories worth of bacon and cheese, which means you’re better off sticking to a cup of their iconic coffee.

Qdoba

Habanero BBQ Brisket Quesadilla: 1,270 calories, 73 g fat (34 g saturated fat, 2 g trans fat), 3,090 mg sodium, 92 g carbs (10 g fiber, 19 g sugar), 56 g protein

Qdoba tried to spice up its menu with an offering that will lure you in and fill you out. With that insane calorie count, you’re better off skipping the cheesy finger food.

Firehouse Subs

Courtesy of Firehouse Subs

Tuna Sub, Large: 1,550 calories, 97 g fat (17 g saturated fat), 2,990 mg sodium, 100 g carbs (6 g fiber, 18 g sugar), 71 g protein

We love tuna because it’s an affordable protein that’s packed with brain-boosting omega-3s and works well in a sandwich and salad alike. However, ordering the large tuna sub won’t help you reap the fish’s countless benefits thanks to the sandwich’s sky-high counts across the board.

Whataburger

Chop House Cheddar Burger: 1,110 calories, 69 g fat (26 g saturated fat, 2 g trans fat), 1,660 mg sodium, 61 g carbs (3 g fiber, 12 g sugar), 60 g protein

Steer clear of this beefy monstrosity, jam-piled with bacon, grilled onions, cheddar, and a creamy steak sauce.

The Beginning!

I can go days without drinking a glass of water. Granted, I drink coffee or tea or iced tea, but a typical day for me does not involve a pure glass of water. A lot of the times when I have a headache, or break out, or have trouble with my memory, or if I’m not feeling well etc. I always attribute it to being a human cactus. And this isn’t good. I shouldn’t boast about not taking care of myself. This could seriously hurt my body if I keep it up, even if right now I think my body has adapted to this lifestyle. So. This begins my great water challenge. 30 days of drinking the full recommended amount of water and tracking what happens to my body as a result. Will my skin break out, but then look better? Will I eventually have to pee less often? Will my memory improve? Will it become easier and more like a habit? Will my lips be less chapped? I don’t know. But it will be interesting to see.

To start, I needed to figure out how much water is recommended? This changes depending on the source so I compiled the different amounts below.

The Classic: 64 oz

WebMD: 0.5-1x your body weight in ounces, or 60-120 oz

IOM: 72 oz, exercise? add 1.5-2.5 cups of water

National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine: 92 oz total, 73 oz from water

The general consensus seems to be around 72 ounces a day, is around 9 8 oz glasses of water a day. Or 4.5 large glasses of water a day in my apartment. it doesn’t seem like a lot from that perspective, but compared to nothing, it seems like an ocean of water.

I will track things like my weight (measured every morning when I get up), my skin’s texture/break out-ness (noted every morning and sometimes photographed), how many times I pee in a day and the color (gross, but the best indicator of this challenge), my mood, energy, etc. See ya at the end!

Top 5 Best Non-Contact Thermometers | 2017 Reviews

When easy-to-use digital forehead and ear thermometers came onto the market, parents breathed a sigh of relief. The ordeal of teaching young children how to keep their tongues still with a thermometer underneath – or even worse, trying to take their rectal temperature – quickly became nothing more than a bad memory. (Although we should note that pediatric medical associations and experts still recommend taking rectal temperatures for a baby’s first three months, because other methods may not provide accurate for young infants.)

Not only did they eliminate the need to insert anything into any part of a child’s body (or an adult’s, for that matter), they allowed temperatures to be taken without even touching the child. This was a great step forward for three reasons. First, skittish children no longer had to be convinced to stay still while a digital thermometer was rubbed across their forehead or placed under their armpit or at the entrance of their ear canal. Second, non-contact thermometers allowed parents to take their sick child’s temperature without waking them up – perfect for use with babies and toddlers. Finally, a non-invasive method of taking temperatures greatly lessens the possibility that viruses or bacteria will be transmitted throughout the family.

Non-contact thermometers, sometimes referred to as temperature guns, are simply aimed at the middle of the forehead from a specified distance (explaining why they’re often called “guns”) with infrared rays used to determine the child’s temperature. Readings are usually taken within a few seconds, and some models have other bells and whistles such as visual or audio alerts when the temperature indicates a fever, or color-coded LEDs for various temperature ranges. Most important, naturally, is the accuracy of the thermometer which varies greatly between models. We also considered size and shape to be very important, for reasons you’ll read shortly.

One more clarification: some manufacturers (and consumers) refer to digital forehead thermometers (the ones you run across the forehead) as “non-contact.” We’ve disregarded those models in compiling our list of the top 5 best non-contact thermometers, which starts…..right now.

ARC Devices InstaTemp Non-Touch Digital Thermometer

Until recently, non-contact thermometers were extremely expensive. In fact, the older version of the InstaTemp cost more than $100, and was much larger and less accurate. This most recent update works better and costs less than $40 – we consider that a win-win.

The ARC InstaTemp is about the size of your home phone (if you still have one, of course). It couldn’t be easier to use; you simply hold the device about an inch from the forehead, aiming between the eyes and above the eyebrows, and push the button. The temperature reading comes up almost instantly on a backlit LCD display, along with a red, orange or green light. You can probably guess the meanings: green means the temperature is in a “healthy” range, orange means slightly above or below normal, and red means the temperature is well above or below where it should be. If the thermometer is being used incorrectly it displays “LO” instead of a temperature, meaning you need to try again. That’s all there is to it, although you’ll get the most accurate reading if you’re able to wipe any collected perspiration or moisture from the forehead first (not easy to do if you’re trying to take the temperature of a sleeping baby).

The ARC Devices unit is silent, so there are sounds to awaken the aforementioned sleeping baby, and it’s the most accurate of all of the non-contact thermometers on this list. The manufacturer says that this model is accurate to within +/- 0.4°F (it can be switched to Celsius mode as well, in which it’s accurate to within +/- 0.2°), and tests show that’s pretty much on the money. ARC Devices also says that the way the thermometer works is with proprietary medical-grade infrared technology; we have no way of knowing how that compares to the ones used in doctors’ offices and hospitals, but the results imply that it’s pretty similar. It doesn’t have the memory function of many other non-invasive thermometers it competes with, but we didn’t see that as a negative – if we have a sick child, we remember their last few temperatures without electronic help.

There are a couple of peculiarities of the InstaTemp which should be mentioned. The strangest one is that it works on batteries which can’t be replaced – when the thermometer stops working, it has to be replaced. The company says the batteries will last long enough to take 7500 temperatures, which they’ve figured to be the same as taking four temperatures per day for five years straight. In any event, they promise to replace the unit if the batteries die within two years, and there’s an auto-off battery conservation feature. The other thing we found a bit strange is that there’s no case, just a wall-mounted holder. Otherwise, you just have to put this sensitive thermometer (they warn that you shouldn’t touch the lens and shouldn’t use water to clean it, just a wipe) somewhere safe. It seems to us that a case would be an obvious necessity.

Despite those two drawbacks, the InstaTemp is the best non-contact thermometer on the market, at a very nice price. We wish it had been invented and available sooner.

Easy@Home NCT-301 3 in 1 Non-Contact Infrared Forehead Thermometer

The Easy@Home thermometer is noticeably bigger and heavier than the InstaTemp so it’s a bit more awkward to use, which is why we placed it at #2 in our rankings. It performs almost as well, though, and we wouldn’t hesitate to rely on it in our home on a regular basis.

We described the InstaTemp as looking and feeling like your home phone; the 3 in 1 is more like a remote control, thicker with a slight “ergonomic” curve to it. It’s made of plastic and sort of resembles a toy, but it definitely is no toy. The larger size does mean a larger and easier-to-read backlit LCD screen for the digital temperature display, though, as well as a display for the handy memory function showing the last 32 temperatures that have been taken with the Easy@Home. Instead of red-orange-green indicator lights, the entire color of the LCD screen changes to indicate the temperature range after a reading is made.

You use the thermometer in the same way as the InstaTemp, holding it in the correct position and pushing the button for a nearly-instant readout, with the same +/- 0.4° accuracy range. There’s also a beep that sounds when a temperature is registered, but you can turn that off if desired (when your baby is sleeping, for example).

One other feature of this model that we liked was the “recalibrate” function, which takes into consideration an important fact: the temperature taken by any infrared thermometer is just an approximation. The thermometer is really measuring the surface temperature of the forehead and then adjusting the final readout according to the “normal” difference between forehead and body temperatures. For a small number of people that approximation isn’t correct, so the recalibrate function lets you reset the Easy@Home device to match the temperature measured by an invasive thermometer, to give you an accurate body temperature every time.

This thermometer comes with a case, works on batteries that can be changed, and costs a bit less than the InstaTemp. If it was smaller to hold (a real consideration when trying to take a baby’s temperature in her crib) we would have ranked it at #1. Oh, and if you’re wondering about the 3 in 1 name, it means you can also use this unit to measure room temperature or the surface temperature of an object, with the flip of a switch.

Pyle Digital Non-Contact Body and Forehead Thermometer

In terms of size and weight, the Pyle non-invasive model fits right between our first two entries on this list of the top 5 best non-contact thermometers. We rank it slightly lower than them, though, because it can be somewhat difficult to get the hang of. For example, switching between Fahrenheit and Celsius is a simple task, but there’s nothing in the instructions telling you how to do it – you have to find out online. (And since we’ve been comparing the appearance and shape of units, the Pyle looks like a tiny police radar detector.)

When you figure it out, there are even more bells and whistles which you may find useful or may just seem like overkill. The major one is Bluetooth connectivity, allowing you to hook up to a “Pyle Health” smartphone app to save your temperature readings into a daily calendar or even share real-time information with a doctor. As with the Easy@Home, there’s also a memory function inside the thermometer which will save the last fifty temperature readings.

Otherwise, this model operates in the same way as our first two listed thermometers, using infrared rays to accurately read temperatures to within about 0.5°, without needing to touch the child (or adult), and registering the result on a large LCD screen. It does include a case and changeable batteries, and once again we rank it lower than the competition primarily because of its size. Expect to pay around $30 for the Pyle.

Luckystone Professional Clinical Large Non-Contact Body Thermometer

You can put the words “professional” and “clinical” into a name all you want, but the reality of any product is what counts. The reality of the Luckystone thermometer is that it’s very similar to the Pyle in size and operation, but without the Bluetooth connectivity.

The Luckystone works just fine, with a +/- 0.5 accuracy range and a large LCD screen with audio “high temperature” alarm, and can be used to determine room temperature as well as body temperatures. The manufacturer also advertises that the unit has a laser pointer function available; we wouldn’t have thought to use a thermometer in that way, but it’s certainly possible – just not one of the criteria we’d use to choose a medical device. One of the factors we would use, though, is price; the Luckystone scores there with the lowest of any of the thermometers on our list at about $24.

SantaMedical 2 in 1 Professional Clinical Large Infrared Thermometer

As you can tell by our reviews by now, just about all of the non-invasive thermometers we’re recommending are quite similar, and all work well for a reasonable price. The SantaMedical unit is no different, and with a shape similar to our #1 selection we’d be tempted to rank this thermometer higher; after all, shape was one of the reasons for that choice (this unit is larger than the InstaTemp, though). We put the SantaMedical “Professional” “Clinical” down at the bottom of our top 5 best non-contact thermometers, though simply because it comes from China with no warranty.

This model is accurate to +/- 0.4 degrees, checks room as well as body temperatures, and is more convenient to use than most of the others in these rankings. There’s also a function similar to the “recalibrate” option on the Easy@Home, but it’s not mentioned in the instructions and is almost impossible to figure out even when you know about it. The SantaMedical costs around $33 and takes a relatively accurate non-invasive temperature without a problem, so it’s not a bad product. It’s just not the best.
