Walking the Walk - Day 5

Day 5: Burger King is home of the Triple Whopper, have it with cheese and mayo and you'll be swallowing 1,230 calories and 82 grams of fat. And that's before you order that large fry and soda. Yikes. Is it really possible to find something healthy to eat here?

BK's Tendergrill Salad is probably the best choice, at 240 calories and nine grams of fat (before dressing). But I'm tired of salad. That's probably my biggest complaint this week -- if I want to avoid fried and fatty, then salads are my only choice. I'm bored with grilled chicken salads, so I'm going to try and piece together something a little more interesting.

A Whopper Jr. with no mayo is 290 calories and a respectable 12 grams of fat, and likewise, the Tendergrill chicken sandwich is 400 calories and nine grams of fat (again, no mayo). Either choice works for me, but when I start looking at sides, the pickings are slim: Order a side salad, or dive into the kids' menu and get an applesauce or apple fries.

I go for the Whopper Jr. and salad. I'm full, but it was definitely an uninspired meal.
