The folks at “Eat This, Not That!” have teamed up with dietitian Amy Goodson to unveil the absolute #1 unhealthiest item in America.

  • One of the worst? Okay, two, actually. Shake Shack’s Link Burger Triple and Wendy’s Big Bacon Cheddar Cheeseburger Triple
  • The winner? Believe it or not, clocking in at 1,499 calories, 149-grams of fat and…drumroll…4,755mg of sodium…it’s the Burger King’s Spicy Ch’Kin Deluxe Sandwich.

Goodson says that the breading on the chicken and mayonnaise-based sauce crank up the fat and sodium levels…add a fried side item you have even more of a calorie and sodium nightmare. For the record, the recommended daily amount is 23-hundred milligrams.

To compare Popeyes’ Spicy Chicken sandwich racks up 700-cals, 42-grams of fat and 1,474-mg of sodium and Wendy’s Classic Big Bacon Cheddar has 810-calories, 45-grams of fat and 2,250mg of sodium.

As Goodson puts it: “A good rule of thumb is that if you are eating half your daily calories and more than half of the daily fat and sodium intake in one item, it is likely not the best choice.”

I love the unhealthiest item on the menus hahaha.

Lifehacker puts it best: “we seek out fast food not just for its convenience, but for its reliability.” The heartbreak is so real pulling up to a fast food joint just to find out that for whatever reason they no longer carry your go-to order.

Beloved menu items seem to come and go from popular fast-food chains and sometimes it can feel like a personal attack. Gone but certainly not forgotten, here are 7 fast-food items rounded up by Lifehacker that should’ve never disappeared from menus:

  1. McDonald’s Arch Deluxe
  2. Taco Bell Mexican Pizza
  3. Burger King’s Chicken Tenders
