Fast food can be quick, convenient, and above all, pretty tasty. It’s big business, but it can come at a cost, as prices veer towards “luxury” territory.
Restaurant chains such as Sonic and Burger King offer popular items such as shakes and burgers, but no matter their taste – these items pack calories.
We’ve compiled a list of 8 fast food chains with the highest-calorie menu items, including the specific item, and how many calories it’s stuffed with, according to nutrition database platform Nutritionix.
Crucially, the calorie density of the items below vary by item and portion size. Checking calorie counts can also be a significant source of anxiety. Many health professionals instead encourage intuitive eating and nutrition alongside food enjoyment.
With that in mind, let’s take a look, and happy eating:
