CHICAGO, ILLINOIS - MAY 06: A chicken sandwich from Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen is shown on May 06, 2021 in Chicago, Illinois. Chicken prices have risen sharply this year as suppliers struggle to keep up with demand, fueled in part, by the popularity of new chicken offerings from fast-food restaurants.

The Most Unhealthy Menu Items At Fast Food Chains. Not to ruin your day, but we saw this study and wanted to share. We all love eating at fast food chains because it’s quick and easy. It is also affordable. However, it’s a known fact that we are certainly sacrificing nutrition when eating these fast and easy meals. But it is also known that some fast food chains are less healthy than others. And there are more menu items that are less healthy than others. The website plushcare.com has come up with its list of the different menu items that are the most healthy and the most unhealthy.

The staff at the website took the top 24 fast food chains, then took different categories of items (burgers, fries, nuggets etc.) and compared the Calories (Kj), Sugar (g), Saturated Fat (g), and Sodium (mg) values for all the available products. Their findings may surprise you.

As far as least unhealthy fast food chains, McDonald’s reigns supreme. So if you’re looking for more “healthy” options, the golden arches is the place to go.

  • Unhealthiest cheeseburger: Five Guys

    Five Guys cheeseburger has the most unhealthy score with a 50. With 26 grams of fat and 11 grams of sodium, this burger is not for the faint of heart. But it certainly is delicious.

  • Unhealthiest fries: Five Guys

    Okay, not only does Five Guys have the most unhealthy burger, they have the most unhealthy fries. The score is a 28 with 7 grams of fat and 10 grams of sodium.

  • Most Unhealthy Chicken Sandwich: Popeye's

    Popeye’s classic chicken sandwich has an overall score of 39. With 14 grams of fat and 16 grams of sodium, it certainly can taste amazing but isn’t the best for your nutritional state.

  • Most Unhealthy Chicken Nuggets: Popeye's

    Popeye’s and Arby’s are pretty close but Popeye’s has a 30 score, Arby’s a 29. All of the nuggets at the chains tested except for McDonald’s have sodium scores in the double figures. 

  • Most Unhealthy Vanilla Shakes: Fatburger

    With a 63 unhealthy score, the Fatburger shake is the king of unhealthy. McDonald’s scored lowest (most “healthy) on the scale.
