Am I the only one who didn't know that McDonald's had mozzarella sticks?

[jeremiasdrumond]

That's calories for a whole day but I bet some people eat it in one sitting : (

[tensei]

that TACO bELL deal actual looks like it could last me 24 hrs

[kotoriheadass]

Inaccurate, everyone knows if you're going to taco bell, you're going to get a Baja Blast.

If I do eat fast food I skip the drink and go with water. Why take in extra calories from soda?

Fast-food: where your daily recommended calorie intake is actually one meal

[berreyl]

Milkshake is the reason why calories goes up lol.

[randomstormtrooper]

Wait wait wait wait, McDonald's has Mozzarella sticks?

[Gandalf]

[DariViol]

Who the heck can eat a whole foot long AND six inch in one sitting? Subway should be like 1, 000 or so calories.

0:41 now seriously who eats that much food at Taco Bell. You’d be on the toilet for years

[eldon]

The calories are frankly irrelevant. The amount of salt and sugar consumed with any of these meals is the horrifying part.

In Uni we just did a lab where we had to measure one meal that we've eaten and compared it to DV%, I choose a single Wendy's baconator, large fry, large Coke, and small frosty. The daily recommended sugar was 50gs, I ate 159gs. The Prof. And literally my lab mates were worried for my health. They literally had to dump a third of the bag of sugar for me. One lab mate whispered I don't think we'll have enough sugar for every group, and all others swore off Wendy's .

[danaalsadhan]

So you’re telling me chipotle has more calories than McDonald’s?

[GreenGretel]

Tbh, it's not the calories that are the worst part about fast food, it's the _quality/type_ of calories.

[freddywasfound]

Where's Burger King on this list?

[irodaazimova]

Doctor: eat no more than 2000 calories in a day
Me: ok. Go to the McDonald's
