Worst Drive-Thru Meal
Burger King's Kids Double Cheeseburger with Small Fries and Coke
1,100 cal 52 g fat (17.5 g sat, 1.5 g trans) 1,870 mg sodium BK offers the fattest meal for an on-the-go kid, with 18 more grams of fat than the equivalent fare at McDonald's.
Eat This Instead!
McDonald's Chicken McNuggets with Apple Dippers, Caramel Dip, and 1% Low-Fat Milk
395 cal 15 g fat (3.5 g sat) 560 mg sodium 18 g protein McDonald's has spent a lot of time trying to clean up its nutritional act, and it might have finally succeeded. This meal cuts out trans fat completely, and by subbing apple dippers for fries, it offers your child a nice dose of vitamins and fiber.
The Worst Kids' Meal in America
Uno Chicago Grill Kid's Kombo with French Fries
1,250 cal 79 g fat (11.5 g sat) 2,850 mg sodium When you see this monochromatic cluster of cheese sticks, dinosaur-shaped chicken, and fried potatoes, you know your kid's in trouble. This is more sodium than an adult should eat in an entire day! Make it a rule when eating out: All dishes must feature at least two colors (ketchup doesn't count).
Eat This Instead!
Uno Chicago Grill's Kid's Grilled Chicken with Apples and Mandarin Oranges
185 cal 4 g fat (0 g sat) 600 mg sodium 31 g protein Oddly, the restaurant that serves the Worst Kids' Meal in America also serves the best. This meal offers a massive dose of protein to help your child grow, it keeps the sodium at an acceptable level, and it does it all in under 200 calories.
