Burgers aren’t all bad. But all of these are.

As a loyal Five Guys Burger and Fries fan (they started in DC, and that’s where FitFeud is based), I’m relieved to not see any of their fare listed in this Yahoo!/Men’s Health article, 6 Worst Fast-Food Burgers (and What You Should Eat Instead!).

I’ve always maintained, as the article does as well, that burgers themselves aren’t horrible from a nutritional standpoint. They are good sources or protein and can be relatively low in fat.

That said, even if you aren’t trying to lose weight, we’d recommend staying away from the worst burger on the list. Burger King’s Triple Whopper with Cheese clocks in at 1,250 calories, 84 grams of fat (3.5 trans fat), and 1,600 mg of sodium. My stomach hurts just thinking about it.

If you’re looking for a leg up in your FitFeud weight loss competition, now you know where to suggest your competitors go for lunch.
