Taco Bell's Taco Salad with Salsas

Taco Bell's Taco Salad with Salsa is a real belly buster. It delivers 850 calories, 95-percent of a day's sodium, 80-percent of a day's fat, and 70-percent of a day's saturated fat. However, it is not the worst thing on the menu.

Taco Bell's Mucho Grande Nachos - deep-fried nacho chips topped with ground beef, melted cheese, more ground beef, more melted cheese, even more ground beef, even more melted cheese and a little chopped tomato. It's mucho grande all right!

Check the back of the bag. The second ingredient (sugar is first) is "paritally hydrongenated soybean and/or cotton seed and/or palm oils". A single-serve, two-ounce bag delivers 290 calories, nine grams of saturated fat and 28 grams (seven teaspoonfuls) of tooth-decaying sugar.

  • Calories: 1,320 -- almost 70-percent of a day's worth
  • Fat -- 82 grams, saturated fat, 25 grams
  • Sodium -- 2,670 milligrams -- well over a day's worth

Consider this if you're tempted to try this one: You could eat five Beef Tacos instead of one of these mucho grande's and still have room left for an order of regular nachos. Steer clear of this one if you do not wish to wind up with a mucho grande posterior.
