A new report by the Center for Science in the Public Interest has identified the unhealthiest restaurant meals in America.
For the center's annual "Xtreme Eating" list, its nutrition experts reviewed menus at 200 restaurant chains in the US to find the meals heaviest in calories, saturated fat, sodium, and sugar.
Restaurants that made the list include The Cheesecake Factory, Outback Steakhouse, and Red Lobster.
Here's the list, ranked lowest to highest by calories.

“............Masterblast rules Sonictown!”
If it’s green it’s trouble, if it’s fried order double. That’s my motto.
It is just a short drive over for you to our IHop in Greensburg . . . just sayin’.
I always have ham with my eggs!

wait until your son finds out the potatoes were stored in the ground before being shipped to the store
So is the Bacon Explosion:
Eat dessert first - life is short and uncertain. BTW, it’s the time of the year when Chick A Filet has their wonderful peach shakes!!!
Hasn’t this group been caught-out in outright BS many times over?
Let’s send a few of those ISIS’ way.

Reduced fat introduced increased carbohydrates in order to make food appealing. The pasta in “diet” dishes is horrible for me.
The science is settled. There can be no more debate. Restaurant menus offer some choices that are high in calories. We must act now before it is too late.
“Nothing personal, but anyone who posts anything from Center for Science in the Public Interest ought to be zotted so hard their great-great-grandkids will be afraid to use Leapfrog toys.”
There’s actually an interesting dynamic going on.
You are right about the leftist CSPI and their anti capitalist motivations masked as health concerns.
But then the Business Insider takes their list and turns it in to advertisements for the restaurants masked as an article about the CSPI report.
Everyone wins and loses equally.
And kudos to you, my FRiend. My favorite quote from “Wings,” and I use it with embarrassing frequency.
**7. Sonic: Pineapple Upside Down Master Blast (2,020 calories)***
Last year,I ordered a large malt at Sonic. it came in a tall cup, but something was wrong. it was only cold near the bottom, and didn’t taste right.
I found I had a small amount of ice cream in the bottom, the rest was whipped topping. A big cup of whipped topping.
I’ve never ordered there again.
Then there was the McDonald’s malt I ordered. It was light when I picked it up, not very cold.
One taste and I realized I had a quickly made up cup of something with gritty sugar in it. I don’t believe there was any ice cream in it at all.

Steak and Shake’s Frisco Melt will always be my favorite burger.

Be sure to get a cup of carmel sauce to dip the fries in. You’ll not regret it.
