These numbers just make me glad I never eat any fast foods. I think my own cooking tastes better and at least I know what it contains.

those are absolutely great tips. Thanks for passing them along to all of us here on Mylot. I know that people are in such hurries these days, that they really don't think before they grab something fast to eat. I have stumbled upon a really good sandwich shop next to the coffee shop, where they make fresh sandwiches every day. That's better for me than just grabbing some processed fast food. Thanks again.

Oh no! Do you really mean that Taco Bell Fiesta Taco Salad has a whole 860 calories and 46 grams of total fat? How am I ever going to live? I have not had one, I usually just have the regular hard taco. I never tried the other stuff, never had any desire for them. But I did want that Fiesta Taco Salad! Oh well you just can't have everything.

The only way I could eat that is if I would eat nothing but raw fruits and veggies all day except for the taco salad.

Reading this is making me realize how lucky I am that I never developed a taste for fast food places and rarely if hardly ever go to them...Also makes me glad I'm a good cook and do all my own cooking..LOLl

I am in a "being careful" stage right now, as I am entering all the food I eat into Wellness360. It is making me lose weight, because I am being very attentive. We are also not eating out. Have not eaten out for anything in two weeks. Yay!!! Between entering the food and the exercise, I have become quite conscious of the calories, fat, carbs and protein.

I'll keep your article hand when I desire to grab food from a fast food outlet. I'd better learn to cook and eat healthy food at home.

It really doesn't surprise me, I watched the movie SuperSize Me and was stunned at what I found out. Did you know that the little fruit parfait at McDonalds is a demon in disguise? The dollar menu size with no granola is allright...however, the regular size without granola is equal to a strawberry sundae and with the granola it has more calories than a hot fudge sundae. It really is a must see movie for anyone that eats out. I try not to eat out if I can at all avoid it...it's just not worth it.

Sounds really interesting. I'll have to check it out. It's amazing what sounds really healthy can hide bad things within.

Wow! And to just think I don't even like any of these foods you mentioned. Glad I don't or I would be even bigger by now.

The subway one was really surprising since subway was started by a group of Doctors to help us get a healthier meal on the go than McD', Burger K's , etc.
