 David Zinczenko and Matt Goulding, the authors of the “Eat This, Not That!” book series, have revealed the “20 Worst Foods in America.” The list, featured in the newest book “Eat This, Not That! 2011,” includes the nation’s worst caloric catastrophes at major restaurant and fast-food chains across the country. The books in the popular “Eat This, Not That!” series, which currently have more than six million copies in print and now 11 editions, identify unhealthy foods – in fast-food chains, restaurant chains and grocery stores – and offer healthier alternatives.
“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 analyze their menus and make their foods healthier,” said David Zinczenko, editor-in-chief of Men’s Health and author of the bestselling 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 nation.
Topping the 2010 list is Cheesecake Factory’s Bistro Shrimp Pasta, which boasts a monstrous 2,727 calories and 78 g saturated fat– the saturated fat equivalent of 78 strips of bacon and the calorie equivalent of nearly six McDonald’s Quarter Pounders with Cheese.
Among the list of the Top 20 Worst Foods of 2010:
- Worst Breakfast: IHOP “Big” Country Breakfast (2,040 calories)
- Worst Pizza: Uno Chicago Grill Classic Deep Dish Pizza (2,310 calories)
- Worst Fast-Food Burger: Wendy’s Triple Baconator (1,350 calories)
- Worst “Healthy Sandwich”: Blimpie Special Vegetarian (12-inch, 1,180 calories)
- Worst Kids’ Meal: California Pizza Kitchen Kids Curly Mac and Cheese (1,038 calories)
- Worst Food in America: Cheesecake Factory’s Bistro Shrimp Pasta (2, 727 calories)
