Those who are watching what they eat -- whether it's calories, carbs, fat or fiber -- know that fast food can be enemy number one. But should it be a concern for everyone's diet? Maybe. To take the guesswork out of ordering, we at AOL Health have combed through the nutrition information of some of your favorite restaurants, and we found a shocking number of orders that go overboard on acceptable daily allowances of calories (2,000), fat (65 g) and sodium (2,400 mg). One innocent-looking offender? The veggie burger from Ruby Tuesday's. The (small) patty packs more than 1,000 calories and a staggering 53 fat grams. What a disgrace to normally lean meat-free patties! Learn more about this and 38 other fast-food diet offenders.

What's the worst fast food you've ever had? And when was the last time you had any -- have you removed it completely from your diet?

Love the article... I agree, I believe that everyone should be toldwhat is in their food. I have realized that most people actually eatout more than they cook their own meals, and what saddens me is thatthey have no idea what they are eating.

I believe most of these fastfood places are the cause of most of the worlds obesity and lack ofhealth. I conder fast food to be a poision to my body and willbarely ever eat it cause I know the calories and fat that are in thatcrap haha...

Worst fast food I have ever had?

McDonalds' Big Mac burger and a pack of large fries and coke (Large cup). 3 months ago.

I always feel guilty after eating it.

I make it a point to share the fries and drink with someone else so I don't consume too much at one go.
