Among those on the list:

11. Worst Classic Fast-Food Burger

Burger King Whopper with Cheese
760 calories
47 g fat (16 g saturated, 1 g trans)
1,410 mg sodium

With 200 more calories than a McDonald's Big Mac, the Whopper is the clear loser in the battle of the burger icons. Blame it on the jumbo patty and globs of mayo (160 calories worth to be exact). And get this: If you add medium fries and a medium coke you're looking at a 1,500-calorie meal.

10. Worst Burger Kids' Meal

McDonald's McDouble Mighty Kids Meal with Fat-Free Chocolate Milk Jug
765 calories
30 g fat (9.5 g saturated, 1 g trans)
1,215 mg sodium

McDonald's created the Mighty Kids Meal for "in-be-tweens" (kids aged 8 to 12). It packs more fat and calories than an adult's meal should.

9. Worst Basic Burger

Five Guys Bacon Cheeseburger
920 calories
62 g fat (29.5 g saturated)
1,310 mg sodium

This burger bomb landed on the list for one reason: false advertising. At Five Guys, regular burgers are doubles and "Little" burgers are singles. Plus, the "regular" fries have 620 calories—double that of most standard fry orders.

8. Worst "Healthy" Burger

Ruby Tuesday Avocado Turkey Burger
968 calories
61 g fat
1,601 mg sodium

Ruby Tuesday's Avocado Turkey Burger has more calories than the chain's Classic Cheeseburger. The lesson: Turkey doesn't always mean healthier

7. Worst Burger Melt

Red Robin All-American Patty Melt
1,254 calories
94 g fat
1,951 mg sodium

The "All-American" is the highest-calorie burger on the menu. In fact, the Keep it Simple Burger is the chain's only burger that falls below 800 calories.

6. Worst BBQ Burger

Chili's Shiner Bock BBQ Burger
1,300 calories
74 g fat (24 g saturated)
2,840 mg sodium

An average burger at Chili's packs 1,400 calories, and the Shiner Bock is among the worst .The burger's main calorie culprit: crispy onion strings. It also comes standard with 380 calories of fries, so all said, you're looking at nearly a day's calories in one sitting.

5. Worst Sliders

Applebee's Cheeseburger Sliders with Applewood Smoked Bacon
1,340 calories
87 g fat (75 g saturated, 3 g trans)
2,550 mg sodium

Despite their diminutive stature, they tend to pack as many—if not more—calories as their full-size brethren. They're often listed as appetizers, which means you risk eating more than a meal's worth of calories before you even set eyes on your entrée.
