Down with the king

It's going to happen. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow ... but at some point you will find yourself at the drive-through of a fast food restaurant. It may be late at night and it's the only thing open, or you may be in the middle of nowhere and finding a healthy meal is near impossible. Whatever the reason is that brought you to that drive-in, it's now incumbent upon you to make the healthiest choice that you can.

In efforts to make that decision easier for you, I wanted to bring to your attention a great website. It's called Calorie King (www.calorieking.com), and it boasts an extremely comprehensive list of the nutritional values of just about every fast food menu item you can think of.

Now you don't have any excuse for ordering that Ultimate Double Whopper, for you should have known in advance that it contains 2,076 total calories, 140g of fat, 419mg of cholesterol, 94g of carbs, and 4,083g of sodium!!!
