If you EVER eat burgers out, you NEED to take a look at this fairly comprehensive list of nutritionals from a bazillion restaurant chains (fast food and sit-down). It may shock you. It may FREAK you out. And it may pleasantly surprise you (though that last one isn't likely). In any case, you have to find out how many calories are in our country's popular hamburgers. Here are a few highlights (or should we say, lowlights)...

Chili's Smokehouse Bacon Triple-The-Cheese Big Mouth Burger without side of Jalapeño-Ranch Dressing - 1,840 calories!!!

Johnny Rockets Bacon Double Cheddar Burger - 1,400 calories!!!

T.G.I. Friday's Jack Daniel's Burger - 1,540 calories!!!

Red Robin A.1. Peppercorn Burger - 1,440 calories!!!

Okay, has y our curiosity been piqued? Go here - http://abcnews.go.com/Business/Story?id=5602535&page=1 And one little bit of info. When we crave a burger, we opt for a single from In-N-Out -- protein style with grilled onions, and ketchup & mustard instead of the regular sauce. That burger only has 160 calories -- so low that we've been known to swallow two at once (taking the time to chew them, of course!).
