courtesy of eatthis.comFast food is a go-to for convenience and taste, but it's also a hidden source of sugar, contributing to various health issues. Surprisingly, it's not just the desserts and sodas; savory meals are also culprits. Here's a rundown of 10 fast-food items that are secretly sugar bombs.
McDonald's Breakfast Overload
McDonald's Big Breakfast with Hotcakes serves up a hefty 48 grams of sugar, maxing out your daily sugar budget in one go. This breakfast combo turns your morning fuel into a sugar feast.
Popeyes' Sweet Surprise
The Honey Lemon Pepper Boneless Wings from Popeyes pack more sugar than a soda, with 53 grams in a 6-piece serving. Chicken wings have never been sweeter—or more sugary.
Jack in the Box's Hidden Sugars
Opting for a "Better for You" Chicken Teriyaki Bowl might seem wise, but with 33 grams of sugar, it's anything but. The teriyaki sauce is the sugar culprit here.
Culver's Salad: Not So Sweet
Choosing Culver's Cranberry Bacon Bleu Salad might seem healthy, but the 29 grams of sugar, especially from the dressing, tell a different story. Salad or sugar bowl?
Burger King's Limited-Time Temptation
The Maple Bourbon BBQ Whopper was a sweet and savory blend that brought 26 grams of sugar to the table. It's off the menu now, but it's a reminder of how sneaky sugar can be.
Subway's Bowl Full of Sugar
Subway's All-Pro Sweet Onion Chicken No Bready Bowl might cut carbs, but not sugar, with 33 grams. It makes a Snickers bar look almost reasonable in comparison.
