THAT FAST FOOD SALAD YOU’RE EATING HAS MORE CALORIES THAN KFC’s DOUBLE DOWN

The Kentucky Fried Chicken Double Down – a bacon and cheese sandwich that uses fried chicken as “bread” – has been getting a lot of bad press.  But is it really that bad?  The Consumerist, one of Consumer Reports’ websites, took a look at the calorie count at various fast food restaurants and found that it actually has fewer calories than some salads.  The Original Recipe Double Down has 540 calories, 32 grams of fat, and 1,380 milligrams of sodium.  By comparison, Wendy’s BLT salad with Homestyle Chicken Fillet with Honey Dijon Dressing weighs in at 720 calories, 51 grams of fat, and 1,540 mg of sodium.  McDonald’s, Chili’s, and Burger King also sell salads with more calories than the Double Down.  So, rather than order the salad, just go ahead and get that Double Down, but split it with a friend.
