Worst Restaurant Meals - Health Stato
1. Ham and Cheese Omelet
The Count: Approximately 512 calories, 37 grams of fat, 1,277 milligrams of sodium
This breakfast staple packs plenty of protein, but at half of your total fat and sodium requirements for the day. That’s not including adding hash browns or home fries. If you’re really wanting an omelet, make a smaller one with one or two whole eggs, and add some whole-grain toast and a side of fruit.
2. Chicken and Waffles
The Count: Approximately1,012 calories, 54 grams of fat, 852 milligrams of sodium
This crunchy-sweet combination may be a treat for your taste buds, but it comes at a steep calorie price. It also includes 24 grams of sugar, thanks to the syrup and butter. Consider getting grilled chicken and baked sweet potato fries (a great source of vitamin A) instead.
3. Bacon Double Cheeseburger
The Count: Approximately858 calories, 50 grams of fat, 1,764 milligrams of sodium
Plan on walking for nearly 4 hours if you want to work off the calories you’ll gain with this guilty pleasure. In addition, this meal easily hits your daily 20-gram limit of saturated fat. To cut the calories, consider veggie patties, turkey burgers, or grilled chicken instead of beef, or ask if it can be served on a lettuce wrap instead of a bun.
4. Baby Back Ribs (Full Rack)
The Count: Approximately1,240 calories, 83 grams of fat, 2,270 milligrams of sodium
There are 90 grams of protein here, but you’ll use up your entire daily allowance of fat before you add extra sauce, let alone a side dish. If you really crave pork, order center-cut pork chops or a pork loin instead. They have a fraction of the calories.
5. Chicken Alfredo
The Count: Approximately1,191 calories, 81 grams of fat, 940 milligrams of sodium
How can something with chicken in it have so many calories and more than twice the saturated fat you should have for the day? Easy. The fettuccine, butter, heavy cream, and Parmesan put it over the top. Instead, opt for chicken cacciatore with onions, herbs, tomatoes, and bell peppers. You’ll still enjoy that Italian experience without wrecking your calorie count.
