Even though we all know that fast food isn’t particularly good for you and doesn’t classify as a healthy meal, it can sure be convenient and tasty sometimes. Who doesn’t have the urge to order a box of pizza after a long day at work, when you’re not in the mood for cooking?

Despite the fact that in general, fast food isn’t healthy, there are some particular items that are quite popular but a lot worse for your body than you might think. Some of the fast-food chain employees have even exposed these products on the internet, and we’ve compiled a list of the top 20 popular fast food items you should really stop ordering.

1) Fries at Five Guys

The Five Guys restaurant regularly receives plenty of praise for the taste of their fries, but it comes with a caveat – they fry it with peanut oil, which is most definitely not healthy. Some nutritional experts even claim one portion can come in at 953 calories.

2) Tuna sandwich at Subway

There’s an abundance of options at a Subway restaurant, but it turns out that tuna is among the most unhealthy. According to someone on Reddit, the tuna they use is known to sit out for a long time, and the mixture contains a heavy load of mayo.

3) Roast Beef at Arby’s

This is actually a very popular item and perhaps one of the most popular, but it’s definitely worth mentioning in this list. The meat is actually a sort of paste that’s dried in the oven, and if that doesn’t sound bad, there’s always a chance you end up with leftovers of the day before.

4) Beans at Taco John’s

An employee of a Taco John’s restaurant claimed that beans aren’t exactly fresh, as they’re on a warmer the entire day. When it gets too dry, they just add more water. Doesn’t exactly sound delicious, does it?

5) Popcorn at a movie theater

Almost everybody knows that popcorn at a movie theater is absolutely overpriced, but it’s also treated with a bunch of chemicals that make it last longer – meaning they can use more leftovers.

6) Hash Brown Nibblers at White Castle

These tiny snacks at the popular fast-food chain may look cute and innocent, but they actually pack a ton of calories. One of these hash brown boxes will amount to no less than 1,440 calories, and over a hundred grams of it is pure fat.

7) Jalapeno Cheese Pretzel Dog at Auntie Anne’s

Admittedly, the picture alone will say a lot more than a thousand words here – there’s no way that all that cheese can be possibly good for your body. Even though it’s ‘just’ a hot dog, this special version still amounts to 370 calories and contains over 20 grams of fat.

8) Egg-filled bagels at Einstein Bagels

Apparently, the eggs that are used at Einstein’s Bagels aren’t always fresh, and you can definitely tell by the taste. Eggs are put in the microwave and warmed up as they’re needed – not very appetizing.

9) Gluten allergy warning at Chick-Fil-A

Chick-Fil-A is known for its great service and people are usually very happy about the food quality as well, but some employees have reported that the grill isn’t always cleaned properly in between orders – which makes things quite difficult for people who order gluten-free meals.

10) Slurpees

You can usually find these at gas stations, and there are actually two reasons why you should steer away from them. First of all, their sugar content is incredibly high, but these machines also don’t get cleaned very often.

11) John’s Favorite at Papa John’s

Even though this tasty pizza might be John’s favorite, it’s the exact opposite for nutritionists. These pizzas filled with sausages, six different kinds of cheese, and pepperoni are basically screaming calorie overload. Just a single slice contains 410 of them.

12) Charbroiled Monster Thickburger at Hardee’s

This is another one of those examples where the picture really says it all. Just look at all that greasy meat! As if the beef wasn’t enough, you’ll also find no less than four bacon strips on here. One burger amounts to 1,420 precious calories.

13) Chili at Checkers

Chili is actually one of the main things you should avoid at all fast-food restaurants, as a general rule. It’s usually just reheated, and a mixture of unused ingredients and old hamburger pieces.

14) Ice Tea at the end of the day at Jimmy John’s

Jimmy John’s Iced Tea can sure taste delicious, but there are a lot of people who say you should avoid the refreshing drink when it starts getting late because the container only gets cleaned out once a day. As a result, your drink can potentially be a little bit gooey.

15) Taco’s at Chipotle

Unlike most other items in this list, this isn’t a warning particularly for the healthiness of the food, but more of an economical warning. You see, tacos usually contain a lot less meat and ingredients than a burrito, at the same price.

16) Grand Slamwich at Denny’s

Breakfast is considered to be the most important meal of the day, so you might as well start it rather healthy, no? These grand slamwiches at Denny’s definitely don’t fall into that category, because this breakfast alone will contain more than half of your daily caloric intake.

17) Pad Thai at P.F. Chang’s

You might not expect it, but this is actually one of the worst things you can order when it comes to healthy food. The nutritional label on the website states that one portion of pad thai contains no less than 50 grams of sugar and will rack up over 1,120 calories.

18) Breadsticks at Little Ceasar’s

They’re a fan-favorite for sure, but some people have reported that they actually grease up these breadsticks with butter from the day before. Apparently, it helps give it its classic appearance.

19) Chicken Rice Bowl at Bojangle’s

A chicken rice bowl that’s unhealthy, now that seems a bit weird, doesn’t it? The combination of these two ingredients can definitely be healthy, but Bujonagle’s adds a lot of stuff that might add some flavor but is definitely not good for you. The 1,1130 calories in a single bowl can attest to that.

20) Fish Sandwich at Burger King

Let’s face it – Burger King is known for its meat, and not for its fish products. There’s a reason why the fish sandwich isn’t very popular, as a lot of people will agree it’s not the tastiest and freshest product on the menu.
