the "tiny" burgers like the $5 biggie bag at Wendy's is the perfect amount of food. jr bacon cheeseburger, small fries, 4 piece nugget, drink.

THATS normal portion, even if it's not healthy, not a 1/2 lb double cheeseburger 6 inches in diameter, 3 inches thick and a 32oz bucket of cola.

Where the hell are yall getting burgers at? Every fastfood place near me serves anemic, poorly prepared burgers that are not worth the cost for taste and only rarely worth the time investment when it's near midnight and I need to absorb the alcohol in my stomach

$5 is worth for a quick lunch to me.

[-] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 1 points 3 months ago

Where are you getting any kind of fast food for $5 these days?

[-] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Wendy's. some places it's $6

You think the Baconator is anemic? I think you mean sclerotic.

Isn't that still over half your daily calories needed in your "normal portion"?

[-] klemptor@startrek.website 13 points 3 months ago

I was curious so i just checked. Assuming the drink is water and there's no dipping sauce or sauces added to the burger, it comes to 760 calories (macros are 44g fat, 63g carbs, 31g protein). That's definitely more than half of my daily calories, but I'm a middle-aged 5'0" lady. Still, that's a huge amount of fat, and surprisingly little protein!

Yes, the fat macro is way out of balance there at over half the caloric intake. It explains why Americans are known for being sedentary. That much of your calories coming from fat has got to make you lethargic. And then the carbs are all refined and high glycemic index, so you are mixing that with insulin spikes and crashes. Not enough protein so their muscles are underfed and fatigued. It all makes sense.

probably, but it's the right size, never said it was healthy lol

[-] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

I need to investigate this “biggie bag”

[-] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

it's my go to, good value for what you get. those $15 baconator bullshits are WAY overrated.
