When hunger hits, a quick trip through the drive-thru is sometimes your only option. A cheeseburger, fries, and a chocolate shake from In-N-Out Burger pull together those fabulous flavors that satisfy your hunger and your guilty pleasure. At 1,400 total calories, this meal comes in with 28.5 grams of saturated fat, 1,590 grams of sodium, and 61 grams of sugar. It’d take a lot of Taylor Swift songs to burn off this meal on the treadmill.
A grande pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks is a fall favorite, but you might want to save it for special occasions. At 390 calories, you’re also getting 9 grams of saturated fat, 230 milligrams of sodium, and 50 grams of sugar. Although Taylor likes her cinnamon rolls homemade, Starbucks cinnamon rolls have 420 calories, 7 grams of saturated fat, 400 milligrams of sodium, and 32 grams of sugar.
If these foods are the only things you eat in a day, you’ll still come in at 2,210 calories. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans suggest no more than 10% of your total calories come from saturated fat, but these foods together put you at 18%. These same guidelines also say to limit added sugar to 10% of your calories, and you’ll find yourself overdoing it at 26% of your total calories. The American Heart Association advises a maximum sodium amount of 2,300 milligrams per day, and these foods add up to 2,220 milligrams. But there’s hope.
