Saltiest Side Dishes

Chili's Southern Smokehouse Bacon Big Mouth Burger
4,150 mg sodium
1,610 calories
107 g fat (36 g saturated)

Sodium Equivalent: A pound of salted peanuts!

This Big Mouth Burger packs in almost two days' worth of sodium, and the saturated fat equivalent of 36 strips of Oscar Mayer bacon. We can't argue that any of the burgers at Chili's is actually "good" for you, but switching to the Oldtimer will cut three-quarters of the sodium, and 65 grams of fat.


On the Border Firecracker Stuffed Jalapenos with Chili con Queso
4,730 mg
960 calories
56 g fat (26 g saturated)

Sodium Equivalent: 143 saltine crackers!

This spicy dish serves double your recommended daily amount of sodium and almost half of your daily allowance of calories. Even when you split this dish with other people, it's still not a wise choice. Downgrade to the chips and salsa--not as exciting, but also not as bad for your heart or blood pressure!


Romano's Macaroni Grill Sicilian Pizza
3,420 mg sodium
1,460 calories
72 g fat (35 g saturated)

Sodium Equivalent: 29 cups of popcorn!

What's horrifying about Romano's pizzas is that they're not meant to be shared-- the menu says a "serving" size is one entire pie. The only way to make the brick-oven pizzas nutritionally palatable is to split one the Margherita with at least one other person.

Love the Denny's Breakfast!

Saltiest Breakfast Food 2009
Denny's Meat Lovers Scramble
3,180 mg sodium
1,130 calories
66 g fat (29 g saturated, 0.5 g trans)

Sodium Equivalent: 27 cups of popcorn!



This dish is NOT how you should start your day. It exceeds your daily-recommended sodium intake by 880 mg, and it's loaded with calories and fat.

Wow! scary stuff right there. Well as they say: Everything you like is either bad for you, illegal or kills you.

Have you seen the show of that english chef trying to get schools to change their meals? Wow, school diets are incredibly bad over there!

7 Unhealthiest Pasta Dishes in America



#7: Worst "Healthy" Pasta
Olive Garden Garlic Herb Chicken con Broccoli
960 calories
41 g fat (18 g saturated)
2,180 mg sodium

The flavor and fat both come from the garlic-infused cream sauce--which gives this dish a full day's worth of saturated fat and sodium! Fact is, any time you order a meat that comes with white sauce, you can cut hundreds of calories by asking to have it prepared with nutrient-rich marinara instead. Ultimately, sauce is what'll make or break your pasta dish. Take the Venetian Apricot Chicken, for example. The apricot-citrus sauce covering the chicken is broth-based, which makes it more akin to soup than the oily concoctions you're used to.



#6: Worst Tortellini
Fazoli's Tortellini Robusto
1,020 calories
50 g fat (28 g saturated, 0.5 g trans)
2,580 mg sodium

This meal relies on sausage, cream, and two cheeses to eat through half a day's calories, 1 day's sodium, and 1½ days' worth of saturated fat. The only "oven baked" pasta from this chain that doesn't have more than 700 calories is the Baked Spaghetti without meatballs. Steer clear of all else.




#5: Worst Lasagna
Carrabba's Lasagne
1,360 calories

Carrabba's has a closed-door policy when it comes to the sources of the calories in their foods. We'll keep pushing for nutritional disclosure. If and when they open that door, expect to be shocked by how much fat is in this cheese-layered brick of beef and noodles. We predict it's at least two days' worth of saturated fat and sodium. Yuck.



#4: Worst Cajun Pasta
T.G.I. Friday's Cajun Shrimp & Chicken Pasta
1,420 calories

The "Cajun" flavoring here is actually seasoned butter, and the sauce is cream-and-cheese-infused Alfredo. That makes this the absolute worst pasta dish on the menu, and among the worst in the country. On the flipside, while we normally advocate against the mighty Alfredo, Friday's Blackened Chicken Alfredo is the lightest Alfredo dish we've ever seen. Only two pasta plates on T.G.I. Friday's menu have fewer than 900 calories—this one and the Garlic Chicken Primavera, which rings in at 560 calories.




#3: Worst Bread Bowl Pasta
Domino's Chicken Carbonara Breadbowl Pasta
1,480 calories
56 g fat (24 g saturated, 1 g trans)
2,280 mg sodium
188 g carbohydrates

This tops our list of "Dumbest Ideas in Restaurant History." The bowl itself—before you fill in the pasta—carries 840 calories and a third of your day's saturated fat. When eating at Domino's, stick to what they do best—pizza. Anything else and you're messing with a carbohydrate and caloric conundrum of epic proportions.




#2: Worst Kids' Pasta
Cheesecake Factory Kid's Pasta with Alfredo Sauce
1,803 calories
87 g saturated fat
876 mg sodium
70 g carbohydrates

It's bad enough to stick this much fat into an adult-size meal, but for a child? That ought to be deemed criminally negligent. This cream- and cheese-infused pasta bowl is bloated with--are you ready for this?-- MORE SATURATED FAT THAN AN ADULT SHOULD EAT IN FOUR DAYS, and more calories than you'd find in 40 Chicken McNuggets.



#1: The Worst Pasta Dish in America
Cheesecake Factory Bistro Shrimp Pasta
2,819 calories
77 g saturated fat
1,008 mg sodium
184 g carbohydrates

How would you feel is someone asked you to eat three full orders of Fettuccine Alfredo and three bread sticks from Fazoli's? Or how about three Big Macs and three orders of fries from McDonald's? Or 14 Original Doughnuts from Krispy Kreme? It's ludicrous, for sure, but the truth is that any of these options would actually save you calories over this horrendous glut of oil and cream from the Cheesecake Factory. It has four days' worth of saturated fat and a day and a half of calories--and that's before you get to appetizers, sides, drinks and dessert!
