Fast-food nutrition facts
I know this might seem like a serious no-brainer to most. So for the most on this forum, consider this a refresher on how unhealthy fast-food can be. For the others, consider it your wake up call.

(note: Taco Bell uses flash player on their site, so no individual URL's. However, they make it easy to find their nutrition guide as it's located at the upper right. Click the "Nutrition Guide" and select individual items)

I was unable to pull up nutritional information on Quizno's. Quizno's didn't list nutritional facts under their menu items. Their website is listed above. These are all of the fast food places I could think of. If there are any other's that I have forgotten or are indigenous to your area, post them up.

Hmm...a Burger King double Whopper meal with cheese medium sized with a coke is about the worst thing I eat generally at fast food. It's only 1690 calories for the meal. I would only eat a meal that size for dinner if I was going to get it. Doesn't seem like it's that bad of an idea to me.
Or at Taco Bell getting a half pound combo burrito and 3 chicken soft tacos (which is a lot of food, I would be stuffed) only adds up to 1050 calories. Add a medium Pepsi and it's still just 1300 calories. Once again, that's if I was eating a huge dinner. Doesn't seem crazy to me calorie wise.
The nutritional value being less healthy for living off of is obvious, but it still doesn't seem that bad.

I guess that's the other side of things. It's under half of my required intake according to the formula so it doesn't seem like a big deal. I usually eat around 2000-2200 calories a day and it fits in fine for me since I eat a small lunch.
