Worst Lunches In America-And What to Have Instead

If you are like the majority of the population, you eat out at least once a week. Also, many people find themselves having to have lunch out every day because of work.

Here are some of the worst lunches on the menu of some popular restaurants, and some healthier alternatives.

You should’t eat these:

  • Quizno's: Don't order the Large Prime Rib Cheesesteake Sub-1,490 calories , 92 g fat and 2, 620 mg sodium. Order the Small Turkey Ranch and Swiss Sub- 410 calories, 17 g fat and 1,230 mg sodium.

  • Chili's: Don't order the Crispy Sweet Chile Glazed Chicken Crispers-1,930 calories, 112 g fat and 4,190 mg sodium. Order the Classic Chicken Fajitas- 370 calories, 11 g fat and 2,000 mg sodium.

  • Arby's: Don't order the Roast Turkey Ranch and Bacon Sandwich- 817 calories, 37 g fat and 2,146 mg sodium. Order the Sourdough Roast Beef Melt- 351 calories, 14 g fat and 1,048 mg sodium

  • Dairy Queen: Don't order the Chicken Strip Basket with Country Gravy (6 piece)- 1,640 calories, 74 g fat and 3,690 mg sodium. Order the Crispy Chicken Sandwich- 560 calories, 28 g fat and 980 mg sodium
A high fat, high carb meal will make you feel sluggish and will hinder your performance at work. A healthy lunch can maximize your afternoon performance. Keep that in mind when you are choosing your lunch.
