Few things in life give us greater pleasure than quenching our hunger with some freshly made fast food. But whether it's a bag of hot, crispy fries, a juicy burger, or a giant slushy, more often than not, you're signing up to indulge. And you can assume that the better something tastes, the more nutritionally devastating secrets it holds.
"These four things are contributors to heart disease when consumed in excess," Goodson explained. "And typically when foods are extremely high in these categories, they are likely low in fiber and other nutrients. A good rule of thumb is that if you are eating half your daily calories and more than half of the recommended daily fat and sodium intake in one item, it is likely not the best choice."
So, based on these standards, what is the unhealthiest fast-food item in America?
And the unhealthiest fast-food item is . . . Goodson pointed to both Wendy's Big Bacon Cheddar Cheeseburger Triple and Shake Shack's Link Burger Triple as runner-ups, but ultimately it was the relatively new Burger King offering that took the crown. The Spicy Ch'King Deluxe Sandwich, which came out just last summer, is just about as unhealthy as an item can get. It rings in at 1,499 calories, 149 grams of total fat, and 4,755 milligrams of sodium.

I like Hardees, wish we had them here.
Only the bread which came down from heaven (not the mana from the wilderness) does this.
Gonna need some Arbys sauce asap
I want mayo!
My idea of moderation for something like this is I might eat one once. Maybe. And if I do, I figure it won’t ruin me, since my usual habits are in the opposition direction. Gluttons and fast-food junkies would have different results.
Wendy is no slouch!
horsey sauce too!
Dagwood Sandwich.
At least they used to have that at the A&Ws, I think…since they used Blondie as mascots.
They obviously don’t remember the donut chicken sandwich..Two delicious donuts and a fried chicken piece
Excellent deduction, Sherlock
Actually, that chicken sandwich isn’t bad... not bad at all.
Soon, you could be shot by one of the starving masses trying to steal it from you.
yeah, almost. I dont go to Wendy’s unless I have a coupon haha
it’s just a cleaned photoshop of the actual burger lol. I’m above 6 ft tall so I need something bigger than Big Mac to fill me up. I’ve seen smaller mexican dudes show down on this thing like a Boa Constrictor.
Yeah, no biggie. $5 using a coupon? Hell yeah, I’ll use it.
I’ve even eaten the “4 x 4” at IN N OUT from their secret menu. http://hackthemenu.com/in-n-out/secret-menu/4-x-4/
This pretty much grossed my GF so I try to tone down on eating it.
never had decent chicken at bk, this one looks good.
not my sangwich beeoch!
I rarely eat fastfood, however when I do... I order whatever beef sandwich I like... without cheese and mayo, and ask for extra mustard. If you’re watching calories or fat, this is the way to go. My keto eating son, just removes the bun and eats plenty of everyting else. It’s these manufactured fillets of chicken, wrapped in unhealthy coatings that tend to fatten everyone. I used to do Keto, but it kind of stopped working for me, so I had to return to the norm of calorie deficit.
