Healthiest:
Wendy's Mandarin Chicken Salad
Burger King Chicken Whopper Jr.
Subway's Low-Fat Subs
McDonald's Fruit 'n Yogurt Parfait

Although Burger King garnered praise for two of its healthy menu items, it also swept the "Worst" category with the following items:

French Fries
Old Fashioned Ice Cream Shake
Hash Browns
Burger King Value Meals

I didn't think Subway was considered fast-food.

Sure it is
Subway is often a hell of a lot faster then BK or McD's. Chicken whopper gets really healthy if you leave off the mayo. The plain burgers are not too unhealthy but the whopper and big mac are heart attacks on a bun.

I guess I've always considered 'fast-food' to be anyplace like McDonald's, BK, Taco Bell, KFC, etc. More along the lines of the content rather than how fast the food is served.

I stopped eating at Subway when I saw the person behind the counter, thinking I was looking the other way, take one of thos pre wrapped meat combos, scrap some mold off the top and throw it on the sandwich.
When he handed me the sandwich, I calmly said you can throw this the same place you threw that mold, calmly asked for a refund, went across the street to Jersey Mikes paid $2 bucks more and got some fresh sliced stuff.

I adore BK...absolutely! I'm a glutton for double whoppers with cheese - :drool:
Sly - when I was on the Atkins diet - I used to buy the burgers and leave the buns out...damn hard to do - but still, it was damn tasty!
Never had the BK vegetarian burger - that just doesn't seem right! A burger's gotta have meat in it damnit! :mad:

When I was on Atkins, on the way back from a business trip, I stopped off at BK and ordered 5 plain Jr. Whoppers. Got some weird looks from the girl at the window (which, I'm fairly sure, were related to my order). Ate the meat and left the buns in the bag. Darn good, too.

Good move with the Jr. Whoppers...less mess. Note to self - when attempting to devour a double whopper with cheese - without the valued assistance of said bun...don't do it in a crowded shopping mall. And always, always ask for a knife and fork. :rolleyes:

I am currently on the Adkins and know full well the eating the burgers w/o the buns trick. Been a regular to McDonalds and their 1 double cheeseburgers, no ketchup (sugar). Eat the burgers alone like chips. Amazing how many burgers it takes to fill you up when you leave off buns

YEAH, BABY, YEAH!! :D That's football watchin' food right there!
But I don't think that's quite the worst. I don't know if you have Jack-In-The- Box out there, but they have a burger unofficially called 'The Carnivore'. If I remember correctly, it's a triple cheeseburger with loads of bacon, available on a grilled (in butter) sourdough bun. I tried it once. It tasted great, but it felt like I had a brick in my stomach for at least four hours afterward. Jack-In-The-Box won't even post the nutrional stats for it. The worst they post is for their 'Ultimate Cheeseburger', which is only a double and has numbers similar to Pizza Hut's meatlovers' with stuffed crust.
Good Lord, is it any wonder I'm 285??
