The Worst Food in America - 2,900 Calories!

Eek! The winner of this title goes to
1. Outback Steakhouse Aussie Cheese Fries with Ranch Dressing

2,900 calories
182 g fat
240 g carbs

This weapon of mass construction is the caloric equivalent of eating 14 Krispy Kreme doughnuts, before your dinner arrives. Even if you split this "starter" with 3 friends, you'll have downed a meal's worth of calories.
Super Substitution: Both the Seared Ahi and the Shrimp on the Barbie offer a big dose of protein, which helps diminish hunger without putting you into calorie overload.

and here are some other meals you might have had before:

Worst Appetizer goes to:
Chili's Awesome Blossom

2,710 calories
203 g fat
194 g carbs
6,360 mg sodium

It takes a special talent to turn a single oversized onion into the fat equivalent of 67 slices of bacon, but the line cooks at Chili's manage this horrific feat with the help of a thick batter, a calorie-loaded dipping sauce, and a vat of bubbling fat.
Sidestep the Calorie Surge: Order a few skewers of lean Garlic & Lime Grilled Shrimp from the sides menu. It's one of the decent ways to start a meal at Chili's.

Worst Burger: Carl's Jr. Six Dollar Burger
1,520 calories
111 g fat

Carl's brags about this, but also provides convenient nutrition info on its Web site—so ignorance is no excuse for eating it.
A Simple Solution: The Low Carb Six Dollar Burger has just 490 calories.

Worst Kid's Meal:
Macaroni Grill Double Macaroni 'n' Cheese
1,210 calories
62 g fat
3,450 mg sodium

It's like feeding your kid 1 1/2 boxes of Kraft mac 'n' cheese.
Your Best Option: The 390-calorie Grilled Chicken and Broccoli.

Re: The Worst Food in America - 2,900 Calories!

OMG, that is horrible, no nutritional properties on any of these at all, just fat, carbs and sodium
Thanks for posting Ashley!

Re: The Worst Food in America - 2,900 Calories!

lol I find those Outback Steakhouse places so funny, the so called Australian meals are not at all what a typical aussie meal is like here.

All those meals sound pretty icky

yeah it is pretty funny how they market it over here you half expect a kangaroo to come out of the back, but the Fosters commercials are even more of a stereotype.

i was surprised how Outback claimed the top spot.
