CSPI Picks the Best and Worst Fast Foods
Fast-food menus are getting better ... and worse, says the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI).
Burger King swept the Worst category with its Double Whopper with Cheese, French Fries, Old Fashioned Ice Cream Shake, Hash Browns, and Value Meals. But Burger King also sells two items in the Best category–the Chicken Whopper Jr. and BK Veggie Burger. McDonald’s Fruit ’n Yogurt Parfait, Wendy’s Mandarin Chicken Salad, and Subway’s Low-fat Subs were also among the Best.
CSPI’s choices for Best fast foods were:
- Wendy’s Mandarin Chicken Salad. Mixed greens, chicken breast, roasted almonds, mandarin orange segments, and half a packet of Oriental sesame dressing make this 420-calorie salad taste as though it were served in a downtown bistro.
- Burger King Chicken Whopper Jr. . A junior clocks in at 350 calories, while the regular Chicken Whopper has 580 calories.
- Subway’s Low-fat Subs. Subway’s line of “7 subs with 6 Grams of Fat or Less” low-fat “Select Subs”--Honey Mustard Ham, Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki, and Red Wine Vinaigrette Club--range from 310 to 370 calories and are delicious.
- McDonald’s Fruit ’n Yogurt Parfait. At just 380 calories (280 if you skip the granola) and just two grams of saturated fat, it’s a nutrient-rich bargain.
- Burger King BK Veggie Burger. The first meatless sandwich at any big burger chain, has less saturated fat (two grams) and fewer calories (330) than just about any hamburger at any chain.
CSPI’s Worst list:
- Burger King Old Fashioned Ice Cream Shake. It looks like an ordinary shake. But thanks to the ice cream, a medium (22 oz.) has 760 calories and 29 grams of heart-breaking fat (1 ½ days’ worth). A large (32 oz.) crams in 1,200 calories and 42 grams of saturated plus trans fat—the kind that cause old-fashioned heart attacks. .
- Burger King Fries. Burger King’s French Fries are the worst. A King Size order has 600 calories and 30 grams of fat, 16 of which are saturated plus trans fat.
- Burger King Hash Browns. This breakfast side order can ruin your diet for the entire day. A large order has 15 grams (three-quarters of a day’s worth) of saturated plus trans fat.
- Burger King Double Whopper with Cheese. A wider burger and a wider bun make a single Whopper worse than a Quarter Pounder with Cheese or a Big Mac. A second slab of beef brings the total to 1,150 calories and 33 grams of saturated plus trans fat.
- Value Meals. A Burger King Whopper Value Meal’s calories range from 1,300 to 1,800 depending on the size of the soft drink and the fries. Make it a Double Whopper and you’re talking 1,600 to 2,100 calories. The Chicken Whopper Jr. Value Meal cuts some sat fat, but with the fries and soda, it’s a long way from healthy.
