    Everything in moderation.


    I have one food I try to avoid like the plague (though I still get some of it).


    1. Sugar

    Still, an interesting list, thanks for the fun read.

    Well, that makes me VERY glad that I don't eat fast food (or meat, for that matter!) anymore. LOL

    I wonder if there's a similar list out there for the UK? If there is, those Whoppers would definitely feature in it that's for sure!!!

    I am continually amazed when I see something I used to eat all the time and now I eat that many calories in a whole day, instead of one meal or snack!! Thanks for the reminder! Don't want to go there again!:noway:

    Yeah shakes and triple burgers have high calories - wow, who woulda thunk it!

    Sorry, I'm not being cheeky, but is anything on that list really a surprise?

    OH man! It's been a while since I've eaten most of those things (well before starting on MFP), but that's a good reminder not to! I love Dairy Queen blizzards :(

    I'm so glad I live in England where 95% of those foods don't exsist!! haha
    Also, the other 5% I've never eaten anyway. Go me!

    Most (if not all) of that I don't think I've EVER eaten. Granted we don't have a Carl's Jr or a Jack in the box. But Dairy Queens are everywhere in my area. and I still stay away from blizzards (although I love a Blizzard!), just too many calories to waste! And if I do, I eat a mini now, if I really want to splurge, a small.

    I think I've only had one thing on the list many years ago (the McDonald's chocolate shake) but the thing that did surprise me was why on earth does White Castle have different calorie counts for the same size/flavor of their shakes based on region???? Are the people in Louisville too skinny so they need a higher calorie shake than the people in New York??? LOL I think not. :)

    I think the rule of thumb is to avoid most (if not all) fast food. If you cannot step into a McDonalds and tailor your food choices in order to make healthier decisions, it is best not to put yourself in that position.

    Thanks for sharing the list! It is a reinforcement that these foods should be avoided on most occasions...and eaten in moderation on others.

    I was thinking the same thing. A lot of that stuff is double, triple, large, extra large... The list didn't surprise me at all.

    Common sense would tell me to stay 100 miles away from any of those choices

    Most of those I couldn't eat anyway. If it were in front of me, I'd eat a few bites and push it away.

    For example, if I had a milkshake, I'd have to share it with someone, or enjoy it in place of a meal, because I just couldn't finish it while having had anything else.

    If I had a bacon cheeseburger, I'd probably eat half of it.

    I just can't eat crap like I used to.

    I've made a psuedo Blizzard at home. Just as delicious and with much less junk.

    Seriously, what planet are the people on who eat this sort of crap...

    A breaded pork chop for breakfast??? Is that for real or is it a joke?

    Sorry, but anyone who choses to eat anything as disgusting as a breaded pork chop for breakfast deserves to be hugely obese. *shakes head*
