The 10 Most Fattening Fast Food Items
acaloriecounter.com came out with a list of the 10 most fattening fast food items. And if you’re looking for #1, pull a Harold & Kumar and head to Louisville, Kentucky because White Castle is king! Anyways, here’s the top 10:
10. Dairy Queen Chicken Strip Basket (6 piece): 1270
9: Jack In The Box OREO Cookie Ice Cream Shake (24oz): 1290
8. Nathan’s Chicken Tender Platter: 1300
7. Dairy Queen Large Chocolate Malt: 1300
6. Hardee’s Double Bacon Cheese Thickburger: 1300
5. Dairy Queen Large Choc. Chip Cookie Dough Blizzard: 1320
4. Hardee’s Monster Thickburger: Calories: 1420
3. Carl’s Jr. Double Six Dollar Burger: 1520
2. Nathan’s Fish N Chips: 1537
1. White Castle Chocolate Shake - Large (Louisville region): 1680
It’s really too bad that you can only get that 1680 calorie shake at the Louisville White Castle’s. Of course, you can always add extra lard to whatever artery clogging item you’re enjoying. There is always room to stack on extra cheese, mayo, whipped cream, fudge, caramel or whatever your skipping heart beat desires. But seriously, this is America damnit, can’t someone come out with a standard 2,000 calorie item? Hardee’s, the ball is in your court here because clearly your onto something!

I used to get those chocolate shakes all the time in college since there was a White Castle across the street from my dorm…freshman 15 makes so much more sense now!!
Drinks need their own section here…specialty coffees and shakes, and things like Vitamin Water- LOADED with sugar and calories that people just don’t think about.

Yeah, especially at the end when they are being chased by the police and they plunge over the mountain to finally get to the elusive White Castle. I felt em’ :)

Claudia-Thanks for sharing your college White Castle story. Yeah, if there had been a White Castle across the street from my dorm I’m pretty sure I would have been there a whole lot too!

Nan-I’m no nutritionist but it’s probably a good idea to diversify that diet. But I get ya-I love me some cheese too!
But yeah, it’s better to eat several small meals than a few big ones-helps the metabolism.

this list is inaccurate… there are plenty of fast food places (i.e. chikfila, steak n shake) that have menu items with much more calories than most of these items
