Burger King's Whoppers were my favorite lunch until the Covid hit. The restaurants were closed so I could no longer go in, buy one and wolf it down while hot. I had to bring them home (they're too sloppy to eat in the car) and eat them cooled down. They are awful cold! I saw something online that explains that a lot of fast food flavor comes from fake flavorings that waft away as the food cools.
Eat one cold! Find out that they really taste like what they are, a bland slab of gray meat.0 -

With this insight, we don't actually need to know which type of whopper it is!2 -

Read the nutrition facts for Whoppers. Terribly unhealthy

13% fat, not too bad, only 4% sat fat. Decent whack of protein, not unreasonable carbs. Bit of sodium, but manageable within a daily intake, not a bad source of potassium. Good iron source!
It's funny how meat, cheese, vegetables, bread and sauce/dressing in one context can beconsidered a salad and in another it's considered dreadfully unhealthy.7 -
It'd be around a third of my daily calorie budget, just under a third of my protein goal, over half my fat goal, and it has some meaningful micros (potassium, iron, B6 . . . ).
Yeah, I could fit that in a day once in a while, maybe even most days, but I'd probably want to include a big meal of veggies/fruit elsewhere in the day for more micros and fiber, plus the rest of the protein, and some MUFA/PUFA fats.
That's if I liked Whoppers (ick, to me) and (especially) if I weren't vegetarian. 🤣
They're not the most nutrient-dense thing ever, but they're not the devil, either.

My go-to nutritionals are calories, sodium, and protein. I normally wouldn't spend that many calories on one item of food and Quest protein bars spoiled me with the whole 10 g protein per 100 calories but it still looks good on the whopper. Sodium is totally not bad for a fast food hamburger.
And I don't pay attention to sugar but the 12 g isn't all that bad, right?
(Whew! Thank god for the draft auto save! I accidentally backed out of the post 😁 )

That's why the Whopper, Jr. is where it's at...if I'm forced to eat at a Burger King, the Jr. is only 340 calories.3

Watch the movie " Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead"
Just an idea, very motivating!0 -
Replace the Whopper with the DQ double cheeseburger and the cigar with a Dilly bar.
Problem solved.6 -
...and just like that, you all made MFP fun and interesting again!7
