Since many of you will be traveling over the holidays, fast food may be your only option while on the road. In order to give you a little insight before ordering, take this quiz to check your calorie-count smarts. I'll give you the name of a food and a calorie amount and you tell me if it contains more or less calories.
Question 1 | 1 of 5 |
| Wendy's Gourmet Mushroom Swissburger: 1,022 calories |  |

Okay I did really bad but I think I had hopes that the foods had fewer calories . . .I haven't eaten fast food since I was like 7yrs old and I would never anyways, but at least I can share this with friends who do! Why don't people bring a cooler with homemade sandwiches on road trips?

Ewww. That's really all I got from this quiz. Who knew that one dish could pack so many bad-for-you calories?

I can say that at least for trips during the holidays with my husband we have to travel to the south, and there isn't a lot there besides fast food and his parents cooking (which isn't much better) The travel alone takes about 12hrs(planes, airports at at least 1 transfer) from where we are and then we are there for a whole week. There really isn't any healthy food we can bring and get through security without some issues. Once down there isn't another battle, the portions are beyond huge even for sandwiches. Never before have I seen sandwiches that are more calories then I can eat in a day.

Did not so well, but to be honest I don't think I have eaten fast food in over 5 years!

4/5 - I never eat fast food - Yuck! If I want to have a cheeseburger & fries, I'm going to have one that is good, not made of gross meat & old potatoes!

Luckily the longest trips I have for any holiday are less than 2 hours so fast food isn't necessary.

5/5. I'm pretty sure I'm never eating a deep fried piece of meat ever again. Probably helps that I'm currently not eating meat too.

4/5 I remember when I first started counting calories I looked up the calorie counts of all the fast food restaurant's french fries and was shocked. I never imagined it'd be so much. Those nachos were outrageous!

Oh! I also wanted to add a tip. Sometimes (for some people) fast food is inevitable, and when it is --- order the kids meal! The portion of fries is good and usually less than 250 calories, and then the hamburger or chicken nuggets or whatever you get usually is around 250 as well. A 500 calorie meal isn't that bad when your only option is fast food AND it will fill you up.

4/5. Got the 1st wrong but then actually thought about it and made (somewhat educated) guesses. I have not eaten fast food in FOREVER so I really had no clue. I just don't get how something can have that many calories! Also, the only fast food place I have ever eaten at in the past is McDonald's and I think maybe Wendy's once or twice when I was very young. So I don't even really know what bk/kfc/taco bell etc have, and don't care either...yuck!

If I were traveling this holiday, I would probably stop by WaWa for breakfast. (I don't think they have them anywhere else but Jersey, I dunno..) And they have good choices like fruit and cereal. Fast food makes me sick. I remember, I just ate a plain burger once from McDonald's and automatically felt depressed and bloated. Eww.

BOOO! I was so excited to try those Nachos from Taco Bell!
|
|
|
23
I never eat fast food, but I have to admit that the nachos from Taco Bell look yummy! But that's more calories than I eat in a whole day!
|

4/5, i got the loaded nachos wrong.
