Fast Food Fat Foods

Fast Food Fat Foods
By Hungry Girl

Hungry GirlDon't wanna use a whole day's worth of calories before lunchtime? Avoid these shocking breakfast bloopers.

Double Trouble!
Burger King's Double Croissan'wich with Double Sausage
Steer clear of Burger King's Double Croissan'wich with Double Sausage.  This 770-calorie, 63g of fat breakfast blunder has twice the sausage and cheese of the already super-fattening regular Sausage Croissan'wich.

Why start your day with one of these?  (Unless your goal is to pop the buttons off your pants before lunch.)
Don't Eat-o This Burrito!
Del Taco's Macho Bacon And Egg Burrito
 
Del Taco's Macho Bacon & Egg Burrito is a Mexican mess!  It contains an astonishing 1030 calories, 60g of fat and 76 net carbs.  It also weighs a whole POUND! Dios Mio!
 

Carl's Jr. Breakfast BurgerBEAT IT!

Carl's Jr. Breakfast Burger - We'd like to meet the development executive who thought up THIS disaster.

It's a hamburger, topped with a fried egg, hash browns, bacon & cheese.  And it has 830 calories and 46g fat.  Is this some kind of a joke? (Psssst: it's not funny.)

Boca BurgerEAT IT! 

Satisfying Swap!  If you're daring enough to try this at home, here's what we recommend:  Top a Wonder Light Hamburger Bun with a Boca Burger, a slice of low cal turkey bacon, a small amount of scrambled egg beaters, a Dr.Praeger's broccoli pancake (they're a lot like hash browns) and a slice of fat free cheese.  This creative swap weighs in at around 295 calories and 3g of fat.  That's a lot better than swallowing the lard-tastic "meal" Carl is serving up!
