I try and eat healthy and avoid the fast food restaurants, but there are times, when I am in a hurry and need to grab some food...fast. This is where fast-food places come in handy, plus with all of the dollar and value menus out there, chances are a meal at McDonald's or Burger King is cheaper than anything you could make at home with groceries.

Let's start with the big three when it comes to the unhealthiest. These in my opinion are McDonald's, Burger King and Hardee's. They serve up the greasiest, highest calorie, full of trans-fat food and offer the least amount of healthy alternatives.

A Burger King double whopper with cheese has a whopping 990 calories, and 64 grams of total fat and 1500 mg of sodium! Add fries and a coke and you are looking at about 1,800 calories, almost as much as the daily recommended amount.

The Hardee's Monster burger is a monster 1060 calories with 79 grams of fat!

By comparison McDonald's Big Mac id downright healthy with ONLY 570 calories 32 grams of fat., but overall McDonald's still makes my list of unhealthiest for all of the other fattening foods they offer.

The two fast food chains I have come across offering the healthiest alternatives are Subway and Wendy's. Granted they also offer fattening unhealthy choices, but do give you an alternative that McDonald's, Hardee's and Burger King do not.
