.Everybody knows that I love ze' food. I love all ze'... how you say in your country... ze' smorgasbord that is listed below, however, some of my favorite foods are actually some of ze' worst ones nutritionally to order. Here is my list of some of ze' world's worst foods. Please, feel free to add your favorites (worst's) to ze' list. ED NOTE: DEESE COMMENTS ARE DAT OF A SKUNK AND NOT NECESSARILY ZE' ... HOW YOU SAY IN YOUR COUNTRY... ZE' OPINIONS OF THE MCCARTY METRO. |

| Worst Food in America: Outback Steakhouse Aussie Cheese Fries with Ranch Dressing
2,900 calories, 182 g fat, 240 g carbs
This weapon of mass construction is the caloric equivalent of eating 14 Krispy Kreme doughnuts, before your dinner arrives. Even if you split this "starter" with 3 friends, you'll have downed a meal's worth of calories. Super Substitution: Both the Seared Ahi and the Shrimp on the Barbie offer a big dose of protein, which helps diminish hunger without putting you into calorie overload. Worst Drink: Jamba Juice Chocolate Moo'd Power Smoothie (30 fl oz)
900 calories, 10 g fat, 183 g carbs, (166 g sugars)
Jamba Juice calls it a smoothie; we call it a milkshake. In fact, this beverage contains more sugar than two pints of Ben and Jerry's Butter Pecan ice cream. Turn Down the Power: Seventy-five percent of this chain's "power smoothies" contain in excess of 100 grams of sugar. Stick to Jamba's lower-calorie All Fruit Smoothies, which are the only menu items that contain no added sugar. And always opt for the 16-ounce "small." |

Worst Supermarket Meal: Pepperidge Farm Roasted Chicken Pot Pie (whole pie)
1,020 calories, 64 g fat, 86 g carbs
The label may say this pie serves two, but who ever divided a small pot pie in half? Once you crack the crust, there will be no stopping. Pick a Better Pie: Swanson's pot pie has just 400 calories.
Worst Dessert: Chili's Chocolate Chip Paradise Pie with Vanilla Ice Cream
1,600 calories, 78 g fat, 215 g carbs
Would you eat a Big Mac for dessert? How about three? That's the calorie equivalent of this decadent dish. Clearly, Chili's customers get their money's worth. Don't Overdo It: If you want dessert at Chili's, order one single-serving Sweet Shot; you'll cap your after-dinner intake at 310 calories. Worst Starter : Chili's Awesome Blossom
2,710 calories, 203 g fat, 194 g carbs, 6,360 mg sodium
It takes a special talent to turn a single oversized onion into the fat equivalent of 67 slices of bacon, but the line cooks at Chili's manage this horrific feat with the help of a thick batter, a calorie-loaded dipping sauce, and a vat of bubbling fat. Sidestep the Calorie Surge: Order a few skewers of lean Garlic & Lime Grilled Shrimp from the sides menu. It's one of the decent ways to start a meal at Chili's. |

Worst Sammich : Quizno's Classic Italian (large)
1,510 calories, 82 g fat, 3,750 mg sodium, 106 g carbs. A large homemade sandwich would more likely provide about 500 calories. Cut the Calories: Order a small—or save half for later. Worst Steak : Lonestar 20 oz T-bone
1,540 calories, 124 g fat
Add a baked potato and Lonestar's Signature Lettuce Wedge, and this is a 2,700-calorie blowout. Make the Cut: Stick to fillets and sirloins in steakhouses—they're the two leanest cuts of beef. |
