The 20 Worst Foods in America- #20

As promised I want to share with you the 20 Worst Foods in America according to menshealth.com. Today I will spotlight #20. The author, Matt Goulding declares the following: The U.S. food industry has declared war on your waistline. Here's how to disarm its weapons of mass inflation by.

#20. Worst Fast-Food Chicken Meal
Chicken Selects Premium Breast Strips from McDonald's (5 pieces) with creamy ranch sauce
830 calories
55g fat (4. 5g trans fat)
48 g carbs

The only thing "premium" about these strips is the caloric price you pay. Add a large fries and regular soda and this seemingly innocuous chicken meal tops out at 1,710 calories.

Change Your Chicken
McNuggets have the same impact. Instead, choose Mickey D's six-piece offering with BBQ sauce and save yourself 530 calories.


I hope you were amazed and shocked as I was upon reading the caloric and fat content. 1,710 calories is enough subsistence to carry you the whole day. My friends let’s begin to make healthy and smart choices.

The bottom line is you will pay for it now or later. We must discipline ourselves to say one simple word, -“no.” Do you realize that by saying no to foods that are self-destructive, you are saying “yes” to life? You are not only empowering yourself, but your offspring. You are putting money in the bank and assuring that you won’t have to spend it on doctor bills, medications, time off from work or play.

I’ve never seen a consummate athlete downing a plate of fried chicken on a regular basis. Study the diets of athletes; they know that they are what they eat. It’s time to come out of denial and look yourself in the mirror. You can be a Winner at life, when you take the first step and act like one!

Stay Blessed!

I personally would not trade in one McDonald's meal for another. Just do away with it all.

I understand, but some habits are hard to break. Once in a while I have to taste some of my son's French fries. Check out and consider joining www.blacksinglewomenconnect.com for single women and mature or married women who want to serve as mentors.
