A new report by the Center for Science in the Public Interest has identified the unhealthiest restaurant meals in America.
For the center's annual "Xtreme Eating" list, its nutrition experts reviewed menus at 200 restaurant chains in the US to find the meals heaviest in calories, saturated fat, sodium, and sugar.
Restaurants that made the list include The Cheesecake Factory, Buffalo Wild Wings, and IHOP.
Here's the list, ranked lowest to highest by calories.
The Cheesecake Factory: Flying Gorilla drink (950 calories)
This chocolate and banana milkshake with dark chocolate and banana liqueurs packs 950 calories, 26 grams of saturated fat, and 60 grams of added sugar.
Uno Pizzeria & Grill: Chocolate cake (1,740 calories)
Uno's chocolate cake is a huge serving, which is why it's called the "ridiculously awesome, insanely large chocolate cake" on the menu.
It has 32 grams of saturated fat, 770 milligrams of sodium, and 168 grams of added sugar — about three times the daily recommended sugar limit.
Buffalo Wild Wings: Cheese curd bacon burger with fries (1,950 calories)
Consuming this sandwich with a side of fries is the equivalent of eating five Burger King bacon double cheeseburgers, according to the report. It has 53 grams of saturated fat and 4,700 milligrams of sodium.
