I don't know...that guacamole bacon burger looks pretty good to me.
It's delicious!....definitely not an everyday kinda thing, but it is a delicious once in awhile kinda thing...0 -
The problem is the massive size of that drink. Over a quart! And there is an unnecessary amount of added sugar.1,750 calories... ಠ_ಠ How is that even possible...
I dont care what anyone says.... hating on coldstone is sacrilege
It is comparing gas station convenience food, not sweet treats.How dare they blaspheme baby back ribs..... Nonsense I tell you
I also like how they only really look at sodium, fat, sugar and total calories and then they make suggestions for substitutions that are no where near comparable in size... Dont have that large meat lovers pizza instead have an almond..
This. I like how they suggest substituting a Chocolate Pudding Pie with beef jerky. If I am in the mood for something sweet like a pudding pie, why on earth would I substitute it with beef jerky?
Does anyone really need an entire deep dish pizza for themselves? And if they tried to compare every nutrient, it would be inelegant and confusing to read.0 -
This made me giggle.
From the article:
"Researchers have found that men are turned on by the smell of cinnamon rolls, and further studies have shown that men are more likely to spend money when they’re thinking about sex."
Who knew? Girl's gotta ask...true? false?0 -
So, they're saying that instead of having a 12" veggie sub for 1180 cals, 59g fat, and 131g carbs, you should get the 6" of a different veggie sub for 530 cals, 22g fat, and 52g carbs. If you really wanted the first one and would be happy with a 6", why not just get the 6" version of it for 590 cals, 29.5g fat, and 65.5 carbs? Maths. Basically they're telling us that half a sub has fewer calories, fat, and carbs than a whole sub. Wow. Such innovative thinking.0

OMG, that kids meal with the dinosaur shaped nuggets, what the heck!!! Who would feed that to their children??? That was gross.
I have. And they've also had the mac & cheese at Uno's which I think is even higher in calories as I remember. It's a treat. We eat 90% of our meals at home, always with vegetables. But I guess "feeding that to my children" makes my a shtty parent in your book.0 -
The only thing I have had on this list is the On The Border Taco Salad... I loved every mouthful!0

I have made my own deep dish pizza from scratch. I'm still working on perfecting the crust recipe, it's just not soft and fluffy enough. The way deep dish pizza works is that the crust is basically a bowl full of cheese, toppings, and covered in pizza sauce. I am able to fit over half as much cheese on to a deep dish pizza as I can fit on a thinner standard crust that fills a cookie sheet. The deep dish pizzas have a diameter of nine inches.0

I need to try the Hostess choc pudding pie and the Ruby Tues. mini sliders.0

I'm glad someone else noticed them doing that! Like for the pizza option, they said "the individual deep dish pizza is bad, so eat HALF a flatbread pizza. I'm sure HALF a deep dish pizza is better than a whole one, too.0 -
Phew! Luckily I haven't eaten any of this stuff (although am a former cold-stone addict). I'm sure any of these are fine as a once in a while treat, but personally I think I'd feel like crap if I ate any of it.0
-
My gut reaction to this list is finger-pointing whoever would order anything on it... But I'm learning to stop food-shaming.
I can honestly say that the guacamole burger would definitely be tempting
I think I can consider myself lucky that none of these (except 2 or 3) are available in Canada. Less temptation!

Take it as you would like. The point of the article was to point out how ****ty the foods are in the1st place, if it's 10% of their diet it's obviously not a big deal, but for lots of people those 'beige meals' are a frequent occurrence for their kids. I would not eat that as a 'treat' myself, much less for my daughter, but that's just me.0 -
It's only the 30 worst if you don't like it or gain weight from it. Having it once ain't gonna kill ya.

Yep. I'm thinking that Cinnabon Regular Caramel Pecanbun looks mighty good.0 -
I just read the article and now feel sick. None of the choices look appealing to me.
OMG, most of them are appealing. Sad thing is I have had a lot of those before. In fact, one of the worst offenders is the Chili's Jalapeno Bacon Cheeseburger. I seen that and my mouth started watering, that is till I seen the calories. I will NEVER have one of those again unless I make it at home myself.0 -
I always keep my burgers simple and without cheese. Burgers with extra toppings often have double the calories.0
-
I believe that they were saying that beef jerky was one of the better snack options at a gas station....it's where you find the snack not whether it's savory or sweet
Yeah, I saw that, but I think there are more comparable low-calorie substitutions in convenience stores. I was just agreeing that the substitutions are strange. They are either not comparable in type or the substitution sizes are obvious (as someone else mentioned, substituting half of another pizza for a whole pizza, who couldn't figure that one out?)0 -
It wasn't just a half of a pizza compared to a whole one, it was a thin crust pizza which saves you from a lot of extra carbohydrates and empty calories.
You should never have pizza as the entirety of your meal. It's just too rich. Add a couple of slices with a smartly made salad.0 -

"26. Worst Gas Station Treat
Hostess Chocolate Pudding Pie"
"Eat This Instead!
Tillamook Country Smoker Teriyaki Beef Jerky"
Yeah. Excellent substitute, you know....FOR A CHOCOLATY TREAT.0 -
Interesting article. I haven't had any of those foods, ever (but have probably had similar stuff that comes in a close second to some of them).
I personally think the intro is overkill, though. Implying that making a "single mistake" by eating one of the items on the list will ruin a weight-loss plan just isn't the case. Regularly eating these items without working them into your calorie and macro goals definitely can, but if I were to eat, say, a Quiznos Tuna Melt once it's not going to suddenly add lbs. or stop me from losing weight.
I havent eaten any of these either and I completely agree!!! I believe its okay to eat stuff like this occasionally but in moderation and as long as your not eating them all the time....just because you are trying to lose weight or eat "healthier" does not mean that you have to give up everything...you can have the things you want but in moderation...and if you do eat those things go workout or something to burn at least some of those calories you just ate....the only way its gunna ruin your progress is if your always eating this stuff!0 -

#27. Substitute one half of a Cheese and Tomato Five-Grain Crust Pizza instead of a whole Uno's Chicago Grill Deep Dish Individual Pizza.0 -
Exactly my point; substitute the deep dish for a thinner, healthier crust.It wasn't just a half of a pizza compared to a whole one, it was a thin crust pizza which saves you from a lot of extra carbohydrates and empty calories.

My kiddo eats dinno nuggets quite a bit...there's really nothing wrong with them...they're actually pretty good and whole pieces of actual chicken unlike some processed nuggets that are glued together scraps...
He loves them and usually enjoys them with a side of peas and/or grapes and some of my homemade fries...0 -

The rest of it doesn't even look like dishes truly intended for one person, but there's an Arby's along my Sunday bike ride and I probably shouldn't have found out about those sausage gravy biscuits...0

I think the one my jaw dropped to the floor on what the alcoholic drink from Red Lobster... 700 CALORIES? What?! Lol So glad I've never eaten 99% of this stuff! I have had the oriental wrap at Applebee's! I think that was it! Lol
Ugh scary0 -

2. Buy cinnamon roll scented perfume
3. ????
4. Profit!
In this case the ???? could be left out and it would still make sense.0 -
I've never had any of those. I have up fast food entirely ten years ago and I stopped eating frozen dinners due to the sodium content. That pot pie looks so watery and unappealing.0
