All of us are trying to maintain a healthy diet, and possibly lose weight for the new year. In 2016, Americans spent a lot of time searching caloric content of their favorite foods in order to make healthy choices. Most of us don’t realize how many calories we take in one serving, so the results of this top ten list might make us think a bit more about what we eat.
Key Takeaways:
- Despite the fact that only one in five millennials has ever tried a Big Mac, Americans really wanted to know the calorie count for Mickey D’s signature burger this year.
- According to McDonald’s, a Big Mac contains 540 calories. The Big Mac also has 28 grams of fat.
- Reference that against the American Heart Association’s recommendation: Healthy adults should limit their fat intake to 20 to 35 percent of total daily calories, i.e. 44 to 78 fat grams in a 2,000-calorie diet.
