Calorie episode 2: Fast food


Oh how we love fast food. KFC, McDonald's, Pizza Hut, Burger King etc. You name it. Who on earth did not like fried chicken with that crispy and yummy skin? I do..well, sometimes i remove the skin just to make myself feel better. Fast food is so calorie laden that one meal is enough to provide your one day daily calorie allowance! Let's find out the calorie count of these typical Malaysian fast food.

KFC Snack Plate - 1016 kcal


KFC cheesy wedges - 310 kcal. so snack plate + cheesy wedges = 1326 kcal!

Burger King Whooper Value Meal WHOPPER, Small Coca-Cola and fries - 1200 kcal

Subway Chicken Teriyaki 6" Sandwich - 380 kcal
Subway isn't always healthy, watch out for the extra mayo , salad dressings and sauces.

Mushroom soup - 70 kcal, Hawaiian Supreme Individual Pizza - 160 kcal, Chicken Supreme (medium, 1 slice) - 190 kcal
McDonald's Value Meal (cheese burger, medium fries and 16 oz coke) - 804 kcal

It is highly recommended to limit your fast food intake. here's a few tips to reduce your calorie intake when eating fast food:
  • Bring your own plain water from home or just order mineral water. Do not order the carbonated drinks (16 oz coke - 187 kcal)
  • Remove the skin and visible fat from the fried chicken.
  • Go easy on mayo, salad dressings.
  • However tempting, stick to the medium size meal and do not supersize it.
