Though fast food restaurants aren’t exactly the meccas of nutrition, each restaurant is bound to have at least one option that saves calories. Two of Taco Bell’s Fresco Soft Tacos with shredded chicken only set you back 280 calories, Wendy’s Ultimate Chicken Grill sandwich is 370 calories — Arby’s even offers a 250-calorie Chopped Farmhouse Salad.

If you’re not careful, however, there is a chance that you could find yourself eating a full day’s serving (or more) of calories in a single meal. Using nutrition data from ESHA, HealthGrove found the most caloric burger at 20 popular chain restaurants.

HealthGrove ranked the list by number of calories for a serving size of one burger, and broke ties by selecting the burger with more grams of fat.

Next time you’re craving fast food, avoid these burgers so you can satisfy your need for beef without adding significantly to your waistline.
