High Calories - Famous Names

Been trying to eat clean nowadays, been gaining at an enormous rate of 5.5kgs in 10months, here's some of the compilations of articles of food I love eating. Enjoy :) Never had been so aware that thees food that I crave for are super unhealthy.

MCD Big Breakfast 
THE #1 WORST BREAKFAST 
McDonald’s Big Breakfast with Hotcakes (Large Biscuit) with Hotcake Syrup and Whipped Margarine
1,370 calories
64.5 grams of fat (21.5 g saturated)
2,335 mg sodium
49 g sugars
CALORIE EQUIVALENT: 16 Eggo Blueberry Pancakes
This platter contains about 400 more calories and nearly double the saturated fat and sodium load of a Big Mac Extra Value Meal. Plus, it’s made with partially hydrogenated oils, which are the source of those tricky trans fats. Fortunately, McDonald’s also boasts some of the best fast food breakfast options around—this Egg McMuffin-Hash Brown combo is relatively lean, and it’s bolstered with 19 grams of protein and 4 grams of fiber.

First off, this meal has more than two-thirds of the calories you should eat in a day. Secondly, it has more than a day’s worth of saturated fat and, with the pancake syrup, more sugar than two packages of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Really, there’s only one decent item on this plate, and that’s the eggs. Everything else — the pancakes, biscuit, sausage, and hash brown — is the sort of food that gives you a body more like Grimace than Ronald.

MCD APPLE PIE
"-Literally dipped in hot oil & fried
-Equivalent to eating fried food, super duper oily

Calories

An apple pie from McDonald's contains 250 calories, and 110 come from fat. If you eat 2,000 calories a day, the pie represents 12.5 percent of your daily calories.

Fat

Each McDonald's apple pie has 13 g of total fat, equal to 19 percent of the maximum recommended intake if you eat a 2,000-calorie diet. The fat includes 7 g of saturated fat but no trans fat or cholesterol.

Sodium

It may be a sweet indulgence, but the apple pie from McDonald's does contain some sodium. Each pie has 170 mg of sodium, which equals 7 percent of the maximum recommended intake. The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends limiting sodium consumption to no more than 2,400 mg a day to help protect against high blood pressure.

Carbohydrates

As with all sweet treats, the McDonald's apple pie adds to your carbohydrate intake, with 32 g of total carbs per pie. The carb content includes 13 g of sugars and 4 g of dietary fiber."

" Just because something's a classic doesn't make it wonderful. If you put your nostalgia aside and actually eat one, you'll find they're like the Subway sandwiches of desserts: All shell, minimal filling. They're like a "last resort" dessert, like if you want something sweet and scour the kitchen but all you can find are Luna bars or graham crackers."

MCD CHEESEBURGER HAPPY MEAL
-Even if it's not happy meal, calories are still very high
Cheeseburger Happy Meal (840 calories).
This Happy Meal, which contains a cheeseburger, small fries, and a 12-oz Sprite, is defintely not kid-sized. Swap out the drink for water to save 140 calories.

MDC McFlurry
"McFlurry With M&M’s, 16 oz cup (930 calories).
McFlurry falling behind with 560 calories, with 16g of fats, 50g of cholesterol & 88g of carbs.
This sweet treat has nearly as many calories as the huge breakfast platter."

Auntie Anne's Pretzel's
-Super high in calories per pretzel & won't keep you full to max-



BIG APPLE DONUTS & Dunkin' Donuts
-Appromixatly 400kcl.
-Just fried donuts, tons of oils=fats.
-Topped with sugary topping.

"As you already know, eating doughnuts is not the healthiest choice for a snack, but even still some doughnuts are so full of fat and calories that eating one will take you a week to work off. Most all doughnuts are fried in some type of fat, but if you chose a small doughnut or a yeast (rather than cake) doughnut, you can limit the amount of damage you do to your diet. Above all, you should avoid these four doughnuts

Boston Creme(The one with chocolate topping & cream inside)
The Boston Creme doughnut is a doughnut you should avoid mostly because of the chocolate frosting and creme filling. The cream filling is usually a custard or other creamy filling mostly made from whole milk and sugar. A Boston cream doughnut contains approximately 400 calories and 16 grams of fat. Over half of the fat in the Boston creme doughnut is from saturated fat.
Bismark Doughnut(The ones with filling inside e.g. chocolate)
Bismark doughnuts contain 520 calories. Bismark doughnuts also containapproximately 21 grams of fat and 21 grams of sugar. This is almost half of the daily recommended amount of fat for an entire day. Bismark doughnuts are thick cake doughnuts (which is where most of their fat comes from) and they are often filled with sugary jam or jelly. Bismark doughnuts are also dipped in powdered sugar which also contributes to their high calorie content.
Apple Fritter(The weird weird shaped donuts)
Apple fritters are among the unhealthiest doughnuts. Just because a doughnut has fruit it it doesn't mean it is a good choice. Apple fritters are deep fried in fat. A medium sized apple fritter contains approximately 17 grams of fat (almost half the fat from saturated fat) and 450 calories. Though apple fritters don't have frosting, they do have a glaze which is primarily high fructose corn syrup.

Maple Bar(The ones that look like sushi)
Another worst choice in doughnuts is the maple bar. The maple bar containsapproximately 490 calories and 29 grams of fat. Nineteen grams of fat are from saturated fat. Maple bars can also contain filling, just like the Boston creme, which can up the caloric content to over 600 calories. Some doughnut vendors even top their maple bars with strips of bacon."
CINNABON
"At 880 calories, this sinister sweet roll is, unfortunately, actually more than one meal -- it's two! If you need to grab a quick breakfast at the airport, you're better off ordering a more satiating breakfast sandwich from Au Bon Pain, such as their Bacon and Egg Melt on Ciabatta, which contains 410 fewer calories than the Cinnabon Classic in addition to 28 grams of protein.
One Cinnabon contains as much sugar as a 100 Grand chocolate bar plus nine Hershey's Kisses with almonds and, 11 Pixy Stix! Skip the sugar-laden bun and avoid the horrific sugar crash that would surely follow after ingesting it."
"classic Cinnabon has 880 calories, 36 grams of fat and 59 grams of sugar, the equivalent of 15 teaspoons.
“That’s like eating a bowl of sugar,” Reza says. “All that sugar will cause a spike in blood sugar and then a crash.”
According to Cinnabon, their Minibon Roll has 350 calories and 24 grams of sugar. "
