Alarmingly, as many fast food places have begun to cut out trans fats from their menus, Burger King still uses artery clogging trans fatty acids in a lot of their foods. They also have a "Triple Whopper" sandwich that contains around 1230 calories and have the audacity to market it as a "manly meal". Burger King does, however, have a handful of halfway decent options on the menu that won't go directly to your waistline and these are listed below. In general, stick to the grilled chicken or salads.

• Tendergrill Chicken Sandwich (no mayo): 280 calories, 9g fat, 2g saturated fat, 1130mg sodium

• BK Veggie Burger (no mayo, no cheese): 340 calories, 8g fat, 1g sat. fat, 1030mg sodium

• Side Garden Salad w/ Fat Free Ranch Dressing: 75 calories, 0g fat, 0g sat. fat, 740mg sodium (Low Fat Sesame Ginger Dressing adds 90 calories, 2.5g fat, and 790mg sodium)

• Tendergrill Chicken Garden Salad w/ Fat Free Ranch Dressing: 240 calories, 9g fat, 3.5g sat. fat, 1460mg sodium

• Ham Omelet Sandwich: 290 calories, 12g fat, 4.5g sat. fat, 870mg sodium (not healthy by normal standards but this is by far their healthiest breakfast sandwich)

BOTTOM LINE: Burger King does not have that many healthy choices to choose from. They are one of the last fast food chains to embrace healthy changes such as eliminating trans fats and offering healthy menu options. Many of their meals are still packed with calories, saturated & trans fatty acids, and salt. You should look for healthier fast food options whenever possible.
