Eat at your own riskBy: Matt Goulding, Men's Health

Sure, a turkey burger sounds healthy. But is it, really? Not if
you order the Bella from Ruby Tuesday, which packs a whopping 1,145 calories.
(And yes, that's before a side of fries.)
To further enlighten you on the
prevalence of preposterous portions, we spent months analyzing menus, nutrition
labels, and ingredient lists to identify the food industry's worst offenders.
Our primary criterion? Sheer caloric impact. After all, it's the top cause of
weight gain and the health problems that accompany it. (As you read, keep in
mind that 2,500 calories a day is a reasonable intake for the average guy.) We
also factored in other key nutritional data, such as excessive carbohydrates and
fat, added sugars, trans fats, and sodium. The result is our first annual list
of the worst foods in America.
Eat at your own risk.
