3. WORST NACHOS La Salsa Chicken Nachos 1,600 calories 83 g fat (35 g saturated) 2,510 mg sodium 148 g carbs
SODIUM EQUIVALENT: 15 bags of Lay's Potato Chips!
Even if you split it with a friend, that's still more fat, carbs, and calories than you should be consuming in a meal, let alone an appetizer. Eat it alone and you'd have to run 11 miles to burn off all the calories from this one hulking mound. And the sky-high sodium content qualifies these nebulous nachos for one of the saltiest foods in America.
Eat This Instead: Nothing. The next best appetizer is the salsa and chips, which still rings in at 700 calories. Your best bet would be to save room for the main course—with many of their dishes topping a thousand calories, you'll need all the space you can get!
2. WORST NOODLES P.F. Chang's Tam's Noodles 1,678 calories 93 g fat (17 g saturated) 144 g carbs
FAT EQUIVALENT: 10 packs of M&M's!
It's hard to imagine where the cooks at Chang's find the room to hide all of the calories and fat crammed into this one entrée. What's even harder to understand is how nearly all of P.F. Chang's starchy dishes—their lo mein, their fried rice—are nearly as bad as Tam's dreadful noodles. Luckily, you'll find a bit of salvation in a tasty bowl of street noodles from Singapore.
Eat This Instead: Singapore Street Noodles 572 calories 16 g fat (3 g saturated) 81 g carbs
1. WORST MALL FOOD IN AMERICA Quizno's Large Tuna Melt Club (with cheese and dressing) 1,820 calories 147 g fat (27 g saturated, 1.5 g trans) 2,020 mg sodium 85 g carbs
CALORIC EQUIVALENT: 12 Taco Bell Fresco Style Beef Tacos!
Tuna off the grill or straight from the can is perfectly healthy; tuna drowning in mayonnaise, blanketed in melted cheese, and slicked with oily dressing is decidedly not. Not only does this sandwich carry with it nearly an entire day's worth of calories and sodium, it also contains as much fat as 49 strips of bacon. Ouch.
Eat This Instead: Small Tuna Melt (no cheese, no dressing) 500 calories 33 g fat (5 g saturated) 630 mg sodium 37 g carbs
