Every now and then, we find ourselves in a bit of a bind. We're on the go, we're hungry, and we need to eat. Like, now. But, the problem is, the only available option is fast food. This is where a diet that is firmly placed on its tracks can suddenly become derailed.

Take, for example, the Wendy's Classic Triple hamburger. Apart from the very high protein content (70g), you'd be hard pressed to find anything else healthy about this mammoth meal. Let's start with the whopping 980 calories. Then, as you probably expected, it's loaded with fat; 59g to be exact (25 of which being saturated fat). It also has 38g of carbs, 2,090mg of sodium, and 215mg of cholesterol. In sum, this thing is a heart attack in a bun!!

If possible, opt for a much healthier bowl of chili or even a grilled chicken sandwich. And, if you're ever in a pinch and aren't sure what the healthy meal option is, you can either visit a website like DietDetective.com or even text message DIET1 (which is actually the numbers 34381) and list the name of the restaurant and the food. Within seconds, you'll receive a text message back that contains the nutritional content of the food you entered.
