Here’s a list of 20 that go from bad to the absolute worst –as decided by the folks at “Eat This, Not That!”:
- Red Robin’s MadLove Burger– with 1,050 calories and 25 g saturated fat it’s a poor choice for anyone
- IHOP’s MegaMonster Cheeseburger– chock-full of calories and artery-clogging saturated fat with 1,060 and 31 g respectively
- Friendly’s Honey BBQ Burger– another gut-buster with 1,067 calories and 22 g saturated fat
- TGI Friday’s Signature Whiskey-Glazed Burger– infused with Jack Daniels, this one checks in at a whopping 1,100 calories, 25 g saturated fat AND 76 g of sugar—that’s a bad combination!
- Red Robin’s The Southern Charm Burger– 1,130 calories, 67 g fat and 40 g of sugar—that’s more sugar than a 2/3 cup serving of Ben & Jerry’s Karamel Sutra Core Ice Cream
- Perkins BBQ Tangler Burger– beef, bacon, sharp cheddar cheese and 1,140 calories, 70 g fat and 1,690mg sodium (almost a full day of recommended 2,300 mg sodium per day)
- Perkins Patty Melt Pile On Sandwich– 1.170 calories and 78 g fat—sounding familiar as another poor choice?
- Red Robin’s Monster Burger– the numbers keep going up – 1,210 calories and 77 g fat for this “monster”
- Chili’s Southern Smokehouse Beef Burger– held together by a steak knife and contains 1,260 calorie and 83 g fat
- Uno Pizzeria & Grill Bacon Cheddar Burger– over a day and a half’s worth of saturated fat, a day’s worth of sodium and more than half of your daily recommended calories-1,350 calories, 99 g fat and 2,070 mg sodium
- Johnny Rockets’ Route 66 Double Turkey Burger w/gluten-free bun–the name may make it sound healthier, but it packs 1,380 calories, 100 g fat and 2,560 mg of sodium
- The Cheesecake Factory’s Americana Cheeseburger– it’s tasty but it has 1,400 calories, 93 g fat and a whopping 3,370 mg sodium
- The Cheesecake Factory Mushroom Burger– with 102 g of fat you could eat almost 8 Dove Milk Chocolate bars not to mention the 1,470 calories and 2,700 mg sodium
- Johnny Rocket’s Smoke House Double Burger 2/turkey burger on gluten-free bun– you could eat a stick of butter which has 92 g of fat and not reach the 100 g this one has in addition to 1,490 calories and 3,690 mg sodium
- Friendly’s Double Honey BBQ Burger– 94 g of fat with 40 g saturated is triple the recommended amount of saturated fat of 13 g per day. Add the 1,513 calories and 3,233 mg sodium and it’s another bad way to go
- Chili’s The Boss Burger– an artery-clogging monster with 43 g of saturated fat and over 3,000mg of sodium, not to mention 1,530 calories
- The Cheesecake Factory Bacon-Bacon Cheeseburger– with 3,450 mg sodium you could eat 1 ½ tablespoons of salt to reach that number. 1,590 calories and 108 g fat to boot
- Applebee’s Brunch Burger– a true meal of it’s own with 1,610 calories, 100 g fat and 3,060 mg sodium—this burger is actually topped with two strips of bacon, crispy hash browns and an egg over easy and has 3 times the calories of 3 Big Macs!
- Applebee’s Whisky Bacon Burger– when you add the bacon you up the numbers and this one has 1,650 calories, 102 g fat and 2,790 mg sodium
- Applebee’s Quesadilla Burger– the worst on our list has 1,670 calories, 110 g fat and a eye-dropping 3,580 mg sodium. If you ate 12 tablespoons or 2/3 cup of peanut butter you would reach the amount of fat in this one. It’s the unhealthiest burger that you can purchase from any restaurant chain
