12 of the Worst Restaurant Sandwiches
By: Tanya Jolliffe
A thick, juicy burger is almost as American as apple pie and many of us grew up eating a Whopper or Big Mac. With the Whopper offering 670 calories and a Big Mac providing 540 calories, would you be surprised to hear the apple pie might be the better choice since it contributes only half the calories. With a calorie contribution that large, this certainly must be why we have a weight problem in America right? Unfortunately, there are many worse offenders out there.

Here are 12 of the worst sandwiches currently on popular American restaurant menus that make the Whopper and the Big Mac look low calorie.

Any of these sandwiches on your favorites list or that surprised you? Are there others we have missed?

Glad I don't eat burgers anymore....

Ouch!  That should be illegal....what are they putting in those burgers a stick of butter!  I've had a few of them, and would never have guessed....they definitely were not worth those cals.

Just had a hamburger minus the bun for lunch....don't eat any those burgers...no room! LOL

wow  some of those are more calories then I eat in a whole day now LOL I'm going to remember this .... and avoid it.  I would think post op its easier to avoid because I bet it makes you ill to eat that stuff!   Im avoiding all fast food as much as possible.  I did have to eat wendys last week and I had a grille d chicken salad that I HOPE wasnt that bad!

When ever you eat at a FF restaurant always ask for the nutritian guide.

Ironically the one with the most calories, is probably the healthiest. Least amount of sodium and least amount of fat.

Even still it beats my calorie intake for almost 2 full days. I suppose if I liked tuna melts, I could eat half one day and the other half the next day.

This is why Subways does better than Quizon's too.
