The Greasiest, Worst-For-You Meals
Some meals at fast food restaurants can easily put you past the maximum number of calories and grams of fat recommended by nutrition experts.The maximum number of calories consumed per day for sedentary adults should be about 2,000 according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and 60 grams of fat according to nutrition panel information from the American Dietetic Association.
Evidently, the nation’s fast food restaurants didn’t get the memo. Here are some of the most over-the-top, gluttonous meals you could possibly order at your favorite fast food joint.

McDonald's
Meal: Deluxe Breakfast (includes scrambled eggs, sausage patty, a hash brown, three hotcakes and a large biscuit – does not include syrup and margarine).
Calories: 1,150
Total Fat: 60 grams
Our Take: They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day and it’s supposed to leave you satiated, but if you eat this particular McDonald's (Stock Quote: MCD) breakfast you’ll be consuming a whole day’s worth of fat in one sitting.

Burger King
Meal: Triple Whopper with Cheese, large fries, 22 oz. Minute Maid Cherry Icee
Calories: 1,970
Total Fat: 112 grams
Our Take: If you must indulge in a meal at Burger King (Stock Quote: BKC), how about a regular whopper and small fries? Same great taste, about half the calories and fat.

Wendy's
Meal: Bacon Deluxe Triple, large fries, M&Ms Chocolate Twisted Frosty
Calories: 2,240
Total Fat: 116 grams
Our Take: We included a Wendy's (Stock Quote: WEN) Frosty in our calculations instead of a regular fountain drink because a Wendy’s outing might just be incomplete without one. Might as well really enjoy it, right? Hope you enjoy your angioplasty too.

Subway
Meal: Foot-long Sausage and Cheese sandwich, Roast Beef Salad, fountain soda
Calories: 1,800
Total Fat: 86.5 grams
Our Take: Now if they could just figure out a way to get meat in the soda. If you have this lunch, consider skipping dinner.Photo Credit: mdid

Sonic
Meal: Supersonic Cheeseburger with Bacon and Mayo, Large Fritos Chili Cheese Pie, 20 oz. Banana Cream Pie Shake
Calories: 2,682
Total Fat: 158 grams
Our Take: This is the highest-calorie and fattiest meal we found. It’s indulgent. Disgustingly indulgent. But frankly, we rejoice in this disgusting indulgence.

KFC
Meal: Hot & Spicy Recipe whole wing, breast, drumstick and thigh; mashed potatoes with gravy, macaroni salad and a biscuit.
Calories: 1,940
Total Fat: 95.5 grams
Our Take: A two-piece grilled chicken meal would clearly be a better choice, and the Original Recipe KFC (Stock Quote: YUM) has fewer calories than spicy stuff, but we like it hot. The macaroni salad cools things off quite well.

Hardees
Meal: Monster Thickburger, large order of Crispy Curls and a hand-scooped malt
Calories: 2,580
Total Fat: 153 grams
Our Take: Any menu item starting with the word “Monster” can’t be good for you. And we’re not sure why, but the term “Thickburger” scares us a little. But mmm … curly fries.

Arby's
Meal: Ultimate BLT Sandwich, an order of six mozzarella sticks and a Chocolate Swirl Shake
Calories: 2,160
Total Fat: 98 grams
Our Take: This item is by far the fattiest sandwich on the Arby’s menu. But it’s got bacon, so who cares.

Quizno's
Meal: Honey Bacon Club Sandwich, broccoli and cheese soup and cinnamon sugar cookie
Calories: 1,095
Total Fat: 51 grams
Our Take: Turkey, bacon and ham all in one sandwich? We like. And there’s plenty of veggies in this meal. Lettuce on the sandwich, and broccoli in the soup… that’s made of cheese.

White Castle
Meal: Two White Castle Surf & Turf Sandwiches with Cheese (includes both hamburger and fish patties), a regular sized order of Onion Chips, Large Minute Maid Strawberry Lemonade.
Calories: 1,910
Total Fat: 67 grams
Our Take: Two of these is a modest estimate, especially if this follows a long night out on the town. But, to be honest, of all of these entries, this is the only one that made the entire MainStreet team a little nauseous. Just thinking about it.
