Grade is estimated. Missing ingredient info
We don't have the ingredient list for this product, so we can only estimate its grade. Why don't we have the ingredient information? Some restaurants or fast food establishments make their ingredient lists available online, but others don't. Some chains have the information online, but make it very difficult to comprehend.

Oh dear! Over 50% of daily sodium max
Americans consume 4000 mg of sodium daily when the maximum recommended amount is 2300mg for healthy adults. Many people should not exceed 1500mg. Most of the sodium (65%) in our diet comes from processed foods, not home cooking or the salt shaker. Excess sodium intake increases blood pressure, causes hypertension and other heart problems. That’s why most of us need to cut back.

Over 50% of daily saturated fat!
Not all fats are created equal. Saturated fats are the ones responsible for bad cholestrol buildup in our blood vessels, as well as contributing to coronary disease. Some recent studies are refuting this claim. They explain that removal of saturated fats from our diet and their replacement with processed carbs has led to an increase in obesity and heart disease. There is no doubt that processed carbs are bad for you. But that does not mean that returning to saturated fats is good.

Watch the cholesterol...
While cholesterol has been shown to be less harmful than once believed, you should not consume more than 300mg a day. This product contains more than 10% of your daily cholesterol intake. If you're on a low cholesterol diet, make sure you pay attention to portion: 10% of your daily allowance can quickly become 50% when a hamburger turns into double cheeseburger. Trouble sticking to daily goals? Try limiting your meat, cheese and dairy intake to one item per meal and avoid items with multiple sources of cholesterol (like chicken with ham and cheese, breakfast sandwiches with sausage and cheese or bacon cheeseburgers). Opt for items like BLT's, chicken sandwiches with veggies and meatless pizza. Choose water and not milk for your main mealtime beverage.

Aiming for high calories?
Whoa! This product has a lot of calories. If you're not looking to follow a high calorie diet, you may want to reconsider. If you are on a high calorie diet, here are some suggestions on how to add calories the healthiest way: - Go Nuts! Nuts and seeds are high calorie, high fiber and have good fats. Add about 700 calories to your diet with a cup of macademia nuts or pecans. It's easy to take an existing meal and sprinkle it with nuts. - Get buttered - peanut buttered that is. Peanut butter is about 100 calories per tablespoon. Add some (whole wheat) crackers with peanut butter as a healthy high calorie snack. Use it in stir fries, as a veggie dip or find peanut-based salad dressing. - Try tahini. This liquid sesame butter that makes a great salad dressing, sandwich topping or dip. Other ways to get extra calories in a healthy way: add extra olive oil to your dishes, increase your carbohydrate intake (whole wheat, brown rice, whole wheat pasta), drink your calories and indulge yourself in some dark chocolate. Avoid using animal fats, fried foods and greasy snacks as a means to get extra calories.
