A new ranking by WorldAtlas calls Wendy's the most unhealthy fast food restaurant in America. That distinction can largely be blamed on things like its Triple Baconator, Frostys and fries, which has about 2,160 calories, 54 g saturated fat and 3,400 mg sodium, exceeding most daily limits in one sitting. As far as worst offenders go, Sonic came in right behind Wendy's followed by Taco Bell. The list looked at restaurants that serve meals that can eclipse daily calorie limits in a single sitting. The rest of the top ten are:
- Dairy Queen
- KFC
- Quiznos
- McDonald's
- Smashburger
- Little Caesars
- Chick-fil-A
When it comes to Chick-fil-A, even though it was ranked tenth, an original chicken sandwich with medium waffle fries provides 800 calories and a third of the day's recommended sodium… before milkshakes and lemonades are added in.
