A veggie patty? A lean source of protein. A veggie patty from Burger King? Just one example of the many low-calorie and nutritious foods gone bad. We've gathered together a list of grocery store and fast food items that have been candied, breaded, slathered with fatty toppings, diluted, fried and turned altogether unhealthy. BK's patty, loaded with cheese, carbs, sauces and more, contains nearly 10 times the fat of Boca's version and more than quadruple the calories. Check out these other good foods gone bad from AOL Health.

Carbs have nothing to do with the "fatty content." Of course, it is preferable to eat good carbs and not bad ones..but it is important to remember that carbs have 4 calories per gram--just like protein.
