Question: What are the Worst McDonald's Menu Food Items for Fat Calories?
What are the worst McDonald's menu food items for fat calories? Which McDonald's food choices have the highest amount of fat content? In the countries where both obesity and health consciousness are growing, these are two of the most frequently asked questions about the food items on the McDonald's menu.
Answer: Many foods on the McDonald's menu have high fat content. When looking at the chain's menu items in June, 2012, seven items listed on the McDonald's website nutrition page contain 50% or more of the fat that the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) recommends the average adult should consume in an entire day. Also, since the recommended daily allowance of fat is smaller for children than for adults, at least 15 menu items contain 50% or more of the fat calories that are recommended for the average 9 to 13 year-old child for an entire day.
The risks associated with eating too much fat include cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and of course, obesity, according to the Mayo Clinic.
