Mega Calorie vs. Reasonable Calorie Hamburgers
ABC News recently took a look at restaurant websites and menus in New York City and talked to spokes people for various restaurants and fast food chains to determine which fast food burgers one can eat if you are on a diet, and which ones will force you to the gym.
They only looked at the calories for each of the hamburgers which for some may be half of a normal person’s daily calories. They did not look at the fat content for the hamburgers (which presumably is quite high also).
