Year 3. Day 218: No school & 88 worst foods

From Slashfood.org

The 88 most unhealthy fast food items
Of course, a lot of people would say "just avoid fast food altogether!" But sometimes you just need a Wendy's double cheeseburger and fries.

The folks over at A Calorie Counter have looked at the nutritional info for all of the fast food outlets (McDonald's, Burger King, KFC, A&W, Arby's, Hardee's, In-N-Out Burger, Jack in the Box, Little Caesars, Papa John's, Pizza Hut, Domino's, Sonic, Subway, Taco Bell, Wendy's, White Castle, Popeyes, Del Taco, Carl's Jr., and Dairy Queen) and have compiled a list of the 88 worst foods you can buy, in terms of the amount of trans fats. After the jump, the 10 worst. The link above gives you the whole list.

1. White Castle Homestyle Onion Rings (sack): 30 grams
2. White Castle Fish Nibblers: 16 grams
3. KFC Chicken Pot Pie: 14 grams
4. Burger King Hash Browns (large): 13 grams
5. White Castle Chicken Rings (20 rings): 13 grams
6. Jack in the Box Fish & Chips (large): 12 grams
