3. Worst foreign dish Beef with Rice and Tortillas, Beans, and Condiments: 2,230 calories – 91 g fat (44 g saturated) – 6,391 mg sodium – 254 g carbohydrates. Since when has it ever been a good idea to combine two already sodium- and calorie- packed dishes into one giant meal? This contradictory creation delivers nearly a dozen glazed donuts worth of calories, the sodium equivalent of 195 saltine crackers, and the saturated fat equivalent of 45 strips of bacon. Macaroni Grill Parmesan Crusted Sole: 2,191 calories – 142 g fat (57 g saturated) – 2,981 mg sodium – 144 g carbohydrates. Fish is normally a safe food, but this one proves that the thing is all in the preparation. If you fry this fish in a cheese of shell, be prepared to face the consequences. It means to meet your daily calorie, saturated fat and sodium intake in one sitting. Combo Lo Mein: 1,969 calories – 95 g fat (11 g saturated) – 5,861 mg sodium. Lo mein is normally looked at as a side dish, a harmless noodle to pad your plate of broccoli beef or orange chicken. This heaping portion, to be fair, comes spiked with chicken, shrimp, beef, and pork, not to mention giant-size slick of oil. What is the damage? It is one day’s worth of fat, 1 ½ days’ worth of calories and 2 days’ worth of sodium. Chicken Fajita Rollup: 1,451 calories. The problem with wraps is that they look like holding tanks for fluids, so hasty fry-cooks can squirt in much sauce and they do it without making it look messy. With rollup, the offending sauce is a Mexican-ranch sauce that looks suspiciously more like ranch than anything eaten in Mexico. But here’s the final insult: This so called healthy meal is served with fries. While eating them you will tack on 401 extra calories.
