The 5 'Unhealthiest' Fast Food Meals You Can Order

The United States - and, let's be honest, most of the world - loves its fast food.

However, that doesn't mean we should be eating it all the time.

While a Big Mac or a Chick-fil-A spicy chicken sandwich are fun options now and then, everyone should really be limiting their fast food intake. Everyone probably knows that already, but that doesn't make it easier to stop.

A recent ranking of the "unhealthiest" fast food meals in the country is going viral on social media. If you're going to order some fast food, at least try to stay away from the following five options, according to a ranking from Eat This, Not That.

5. The Bacon King at Burger King

Who doesn't love bacon, especially on a burger? While it might be incredibly tasty, it's also incredibly bad for you. The details: 1200 calories, 81 g fat (32 g saturated fat), 2270 mg sodium, 55 g carbs (2 g fiber, 14 g sugar), 66 g protein.

Yikes!

4. The Big Bacon Classic Triple at Wendy's

Sensing a trend? Another bacon-filled burger has made the list. This one has three burger patties topped with a ton of cheese and bacon. It comes with 1220 calories, 86 g fat (36 g saturated fat), 1850 mg sodium, 38 g carbs (2 g fiber, 9 g sugar), 75 g protein.

3. The Signature Hot Bone-In Wings or Louisiana Garlic Bone-In Wings at Popeyes

Popeyes has been incredibly innovative with some of its menu options lately, though the bone-in wings are a no-go according to Eat This, Not That. There are simply too many grams of fat in this one.

It's made up of 1200 calories, 94 g fat (22 g saturated fat), 2340 mg sodium, 45 g carbs (4 g fiber, 11 g sugar), 46 g protein.

2. The Big Breakfast with Hotcakes at McDonald's

Breakfast at McDonald's is as tasty as it gets - just ask Adam Sandler's character in "Big Daddy" - but surprisingly, this ranks as one of the most unhealthy meals in all of fast food. It comes with a ton of carbs and sugar. 

The breakdown: 1340 calories, 63 g fat (24 g saturated fat), 2070 mg sodium, 158 g carbs (5 g fiber, 48 g sugar), 36 g protein.

1. The Honey BBQ Chicken Strip Basket at Dairy Queen

Yes, an item from Dairy Queen made the list, and no, it's not a Blizzard. Instead, it's the Honey BBQ Chicken Strip Basket. Why? Salt. 

The chicken tenders basket is made up of 3,570 milligrams and close to 200 carbs.

The full breakdown: 1480 calories, 61 g fat (11 g saturated fat), 3570 mg sodium, 186 g carbs (9 g fiber, 48 g sugar), 49 g protein.
