| Top 10 Fattening Foods Americans Love To Eat Posted: 21 Mar 2013 09:47 PM PDT Today's American Fast Food restaurants have loaded many of their offerings with so much fat, sugar, and sodium that eating any of the foods could destroy all your hard work and best intentions of eating healthy and losing weight. Beware! This top 10 list may ruin your appetite by the time you are finished reading it. 1.Large Chocolate Oreo Shake
Coming in at number 1 is the Baskin Robbin’s Large Chocolate Oreo Shake with 2,600 calories – 135 g fat (59 g saturated, 2.5 g trans) – 1,700 mg sodium – 263 g sugars.
2 Outback Steakhouse Baby Back Ribs
This meal comes in at 2,580 calories and is rarely served by itself at outback. When you add sweet potato fries and wedge salad, this meal comes out to 3,460 calories. You may need to go for a long walk or exercise on treadmill to burn all those calories when the meet gets packed into your stomach.
3. Pizza Hut Pizza
Pizza may have originated from Italy, but it is a known fact Americans consume more pizza than any other nation around the world. It is Americans who order the dish daily and can it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. A recent survey reveals that families order pizza once a week for dinner. Pizza shops can be found everywhere from small cities or towns to big cities. There are hundreds of flavors in pizza which lots of different toppings to choose from, including cheese, tomatoes,meat and vegetables. Another reason for Americans love pizza is because it can be easily ordered and delivered within 30 minutes. In 2007, the total pizza sales in America nearly hit $37 billion and as of July 2008, there were more than 75,000 pizza store pies cooking the oven. Independently operated pizzerias make up a slim majority of these totals. The chain Pizza Hut stands as the largest and most successful franchise with almost 14 percent of the total chain sales at a total of $5.1 billion in 2007. The second biggest eating holiday is the Superbowl. On that day, hundreds of millions of Americans gather with their friends and families around the televisions to watch the Super Bowl. To the joy of food chains nationwide, these gatherings will feature a multitude of snacks and beverages, causing the highest one-day spike in sales for food chains. While dips and spreads are the highest-grossing product sold on Super Bowl Sunday, pizza and chicken wings are right behind it when it comes to sales. America's biggest pizza and chicken wings food chains always brace for a spike in sales that day.
4. French Fries – McDonald’s
Let us reflect upon a popular side order in the United States – the French Fry (500 calories). At their best, they're golden and crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. For the pomme frite enthusiast, French fries are the reason why people order a burger and fries. Everyone has their favorite place for fries, of course, but only one restaurant chain has held the top spot as consumers' favorite: McDonald's. A survey conducted by Brand Keys' Customer Loyalty Engagement Index, once again placed the French fries deep fried beneath the golden arches at No. 1. What is it that makes McDonald's french fries so popular? . Changes in the recipe sparked debate and even more speculation about the popularity. Many people, it would seem, have never fully recovered emotionally from McDonald’s decision to switch from using beef tallow as their frying agent of choice to the much healthier canola oil they presently use.
5. Chicken Wings
In the run-up to Super Bowl Sunday, millions of American football fans felt rest assured: there was no shortage of their favorite food – the chicken wings. The National Chicken Council estimated that the nation would eat 1.23 billion chicken wings over the Super Bowl weekend, or nearly four wings for each and every American. But fears that restaurants, bars, fast food outlets and supermarkets will run out of the savory snack — served baked, fried or grilled, most often with ranch or barbecue sauce did not stop the wings cravers from worrying and speculating.
