Hit me With your Best Shot
In case you ever wondered how to wolf down a days worth of calories and fat grams in less than ten minutes, try sliders. Some restaurant chains call them shots. Doesn’t matter what they call them they are a prequel to a binge and quite possibly high cholesterol. These tiny two bite meals look real cute and you may think they’re the answer to indulging in moderation, but hold on to your napkin for a minute.
Burger King’s commercial shows an average looking guy surrounded with a bevy of beautiful ladies. These ladies are drawn to him because of his burger shots. His pal with the whopper gets no love at all. Catchy commercial, but if Mr. Burger Shot makes a habit of wolfing down those tiny burgers he’ll be surrounded by ladies in scrubs and surgical masks.
BK Burger Shots come in two- or six-packs, and the flame-broiled burgers are dressed with ketchup, mustard and two pickles. If you’re looking for breakfast on the run you can try Breakfast Shots. The two- or four-pack sandwiches come with ham, bacon or sausage on an egg with American cheese and a “cheesy” sauce.

One of your best options should you choose to dine with the king would be the Tendergrill Chicken Salad - 240 calories, 9g fat, 8g carbs, and 30g protein
Top it with Hidden Valley Fat-Free Salad, 35 calories, 7 g carbs, 0 fat, 0 protein per packet.
