Fast Food: Calories Per US Dollar
When it comes to weight issues, the quickest culprit to blame is the calorie. Losing weight and eating right can be hard when there are so many faster, less expensive, and more convenient options available, like fast food. But for those who watch what they eat and what they spend, here’s an interesting infographic that shows the calories per dollar (CPD) of some of our favorite fast food items.

In the past, I've read a number of posts about this issue... But I've never read such an interesting post which told us how unhealthy fast food is by using "calories per dollars".
Fast food is really popular in some busy countries such as Hong Kong. People will choose to eat Mc Donalds since its cheap,convenient and fast.
Just like me, in my past school life, since lunch time is limited, we needed to be rushed and thus Mc Donalds would be the best choice for us for not to be late.
But after reading the post,to be frank, something surprised me. I've never thought that French Fries in Mc Donalds has the highest calories per dollar!!! I think I have to think carefully before I eat Mc Donalds in the future ,ha
A beef taco contains more calories than a big mac??! Is this a joke? If that's the case, it must have been the ingredients or the oil they use to make the taco. No wonder most Americans are obese or overweight! No matter how 'healthy' some food seems, their calories are almost equivalent to that of the food in MC Donald's. If so, I'd rather eat in Mc D or Burger King. The food there tastes way better than in KFC!
Other than that, is it just me or does KCF all over the world taste bad? I mean, their chicken is always too oily and soft. Maybe it's because they don't change the oil that they use to fry the chicken. Compared to Mc Donald's, the chicken wings in mc D taste a whole lot better! KFC should change their name to KYC (Y=yuck). = =
Anyway, we should avoid eating too much fast foods, home cooked meals are the healthiest! :)
I think most of peolple love eating these food. Eating in fast food shop is very convenient since there is Mcdonald, KFC, Mos burger, etc. everywhere.And some of these shop open for 24 hours.
I also can't understand why beef taco contains more calories than a big mac.
We should think carefully before we eat fast food because of their high calories. Especially to those people who with high cholesterol level since it is very dangerous for them to eat these fast food. We should cook with little oil , salt and sugar so it can be healthier.
Re:Everyone
Eating meat is a sin, although they are tasty.
Please, stop eating meat,be a vegeterian.
Re: Greenpiece
But we cannot get all the nutrition from vegetable. If we only eat meat, we cannot obtain enough proteins, fats, etc. So it is not good for our health.
