These Highest-Calorie Fast Food Menu Items Mean You Probably Shouldn’t Look at the Calories

Uh, yeah, anyway, Market Watch found 10 of the highest calorie fast foods in the country, taking care to note how many calories you're getting for your dollar at each establishment. (Taco Bell, not surprisingly, ranks high.) I was mostly surprised at the prevalence of breakfast food found on the list. It's not really the Big Mac that does you in—in fact, save a high concentration in sodium, the Big Mac isn't that bad—it's the pancakes and the other bready items loaded in carbs. This might be the answer to why I always feel like shit after putting down a weekend run to Micky D's.

Or the hangover. Could be the hangover.
