The list, featured in Eat This, Not That! 2011, includes the worst caloric catastrophes at major restaurant and fast-food chains across the US.
“Many of the worst offenders from last year have vanished off this year’s list, which means we’re making an impact on some of these chains and driving them to analyse their menus and make their foods healthier,” said David Zinczenko, editor-in-chief of Men’s Health and author of the book series. “But there are still a lot of new and remaining culprits out there and consumers should be aware.”
The list was compiled by evaluating the calorie counts, fat, sugar and sodium content, as well as portion sizes and other factors for menu items around the US.
Topping the 2010 list is Cheesecake Factory’s Bistro Shrimp Pasta, which boasts 2,727 calories and 78g of saturated fat (the saturated fat equivalent of 78 strips of bacon and the calorie equivalent of nearly six McDonald’s Quarter Pounders with Cheese).
