If you’re not careful, however, there is a chance that you could find yourself eating a full day’s serving (or more) of calories in a single meal. Using nutrition data from ESHA, HealthGrove found the most caloric burger at 20 popular chain restaurants.
HealthGrove ranked the list by number of calories for a serving size of one burger, and broke ties by selecting the burger with more grams of fat.
Next time you’re craving fast food, avoid these burgers so you can satisfy your need for beef without adding significantly to your waistline.

Arby’s medium roast beef sandwich with “horsey sauce” or a MacDonald’s double cheese burger.
Can't have one of those without the fries!
Usually just a quarter pounder with cheese.
And never fries. Everyone knows the fries are at least as damaging to arteries as the burger itself...maybe more so.
Trans fat kills, as sure as the day is long.
Make your burgers at home from beef no more the 15% fat. Many fast food joints use 35-40% fat burgers and don't cook them long enough to render out much of it.
Home made burgers can be healthy.
Can’t say I’ve ever eaten any of those monster sandwiches. Fast food burgers from time to time? Sure. Cheeseburger with pickles and onion, hold the rest of the fixins, no sauce. Why tamper with perfection?
Why are they picking on nutritious burgers that have healthy lettuce, tomatoes, and onions? Athletes need fat and protein and carbs from the meat, bread, and cheese. We just need to walk, run, bicycle, box, and swim a bit more.
Man, they got me jonesing for a hamburger bad.
Hurts my feelings they didn’t include Chilis’
Old Fashioned Hamburger with cheese, though.
I feel cheated, and thinner.

I shop by caloric intake, no weight problems anymore so I go for the biggest bang for the buck.
I like mozzarella sticks and Arby’s fries. The steak gyro is pretty good.
‘’MERICA!!!
The horsey sauce is thee most underrated packet condiment on the planet. i try to keep a few in my fridge just to have at a moments notice.
In and Out burger is worth it. You support Christian enterprise AND you get to meet God sooner. /s
I am still acting the darn thing. Every French fry on top of it is a big FU to the left.
Anyways, they are all too busy getting cancer from eating too many vegetables.

Honestly, the carbs are what freak me out the most about those menu items. The Carls Jr Thickburger El Diablo has 80 grams! It makes my pancreas hurt just thinking about it.
Actually, I’ve gotten tired of the curley fries. They seem to taste different than they did years ago. Of course, the medium roast beef will fill me up without the fries. and unsweet tea.

BINGO!
Ever hear of THE ALL TIME Olympic gold champ Michael Phelps “eating’ regimen? It’s like a frat house party. Full of pizzas, burgers, fries etc. He BURNS the carbs and the calories. It’s damn simple. It’s not the burgers which makes you fat. It’s your lifestyle that makes you fat.
Which reminds me of a classic episode from Married with Children:
PEG BUNDY; “Al, does this dress make me fat?”
AL BUNDY” “no peg, it’s the fat which makes you look fat”
That settles it...In N Out Double Doubles Monster style for lunch.
This thread is making me hungry.
If you feel guilty about eating the burger, just wash it down with a Diet Coke.
