<p>The Center for Science in the Public Interest released a report entitled &#8220;Heart Attack Entrees and Side Orders of Stroke,&#8221; which details the sodium content of popular menu items at national chain restaurants. As you can tell from the report&#8217;s title, the results are astounding. Dietary guidelines recommend 2,300 mg of sodium per day and closer to 1,500 mg if you are trying to control your blood pressure. The CSPI looked at 17 chain restaurants and out of 102 meals, 85 had more than a day&#8217;s worth of sodium. Some even had four days worth! Here are a few of the worst offenders:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Olive Garden&#8217;s </strong>Chicken Parmigiana with Breadstick, Garden Salad and Raspberry Lemonade &#8211; 5,735 mg of sodium</li>
<li><strong>Chili&#8217;s </strong>Buffalo Chicken Fajitas (with tortillas and condiments) and a Dr. Pepper &#8211; 6,916 mg of sodium</li>
<li><strong>Red Lobster&#8217;s </strong>Admirals Feast with Caesar Salad, Creamy Lobster Topped Mashed Potatoes, Cheddar Bay Biscuit and a Lemonade &#8211; 7,106 mg of sodium</li>
</ul>
<p>Smaller portioned kid&#8217;s meals showed equally shocking results:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>KFC </strong>Popcorn Chicken and Macaroni and Cheese, Teddy Grahams and 2% milk &#8211; 2,005 mg of sodium</li>
<li><strong>Olive Garden </strong>Chicken Fingers, Fries and Raspberry Lemonade &#8211; 1,835 mg of sodium</li>
<li><strong>Red Lobster </strong>Chicken Fingers, Biscuit, Fries and Raspberry Lemonade &#8211; 2,430 mg of sodium</li>
</ul>

<p>Caley recently posted about <a title="10 Healthiest Foods" href="http://www.favedietsblog.com/10-healthiest-foods/">10 of the best foods you can eat</a>, a list loaded with nutritional, vitamin-rich options. But what about the foods you should be avoiding at all costs? Every year the Center for Science in the Public Interest publishes its list of the <a title="CSPI 10 Best and Worst Foods" href="http://www.cspinet.org/nah/10foods_bad.html">10 worst foods</a>. Are any of these items making it into your grocery cart or dinner table? Next time, think twice.</p>
<p>10 Worst Foods You Can Eat (From <a title="Center for Science in the Public Interest" href="http://www.cspinet.org/">CSPI</a>)</p>
<p>1. <strong>Pepperidge Farm&#8217;s Roasted White Meat Chicken Premium Pot Pie</strong> has 510 calories and 9 grams of saturated fat. Not so bad, right? Well, maybe not, except those figures are for HALF of a pie. Eating the whole thing will set you back over 1,000 calories and 18 grams of saturated fat.</p>
<p>2. <strong>Romano&#8217;s Macaroni Grill Spaghetti and Meatballs with Meat Sauce </strong>has a shocking 2,430 calories, 57 grams of saturated fat and 5,290 mg of sodium. The calories and fat total <em>more </em>than two Macaroni Grill rib-eye dinners.</p>
<p>3. <strong>Progresso Traditional, Vegetable Classics, and Rich &amp; Hearty Soups </strong>will fill your daily salt quota in half a can. Progresso does offer a reduced-sodium line that contains up to 50% less sodium.</p>
<p>4. <strong>Dove Ice Cream </strong>packs 300 calories and an average of 11 grams of fat into a 1/2 cup serving. Go for a low-fat alternative.</p>
<p>5. It&#8217;s not surprise that a slice of <strong>Cheesecake Factory Chris&#8217; Outrageous Chocolate Cake </strong>has 1,380 calories and 32 tsp. of sugar, in addition to 33 grams of saturated fat and 5 grams of <a title="What is Trans Fat?" href="http://www.favedietsblog.com/so-what-is-trans-fat-anyways/">trans fat</a>. The 5 inch high cake slice weighs in at 3/4 of a lb. and is the nutritional equivalent of two McDonald&#8217;s quarter pounders and a large order of fries.</p>
<p>6. Often mistaken for health food, smoothies can pack a dangerous amount of calories and sugar. The <strong>Grape Expectations II </strong>&#8220;snack right&#8221; option from Smoothie King contains 550 calories in the 20 oz. and well over 1,000 in the 40 oz.</p>
<p>7. <strong>Pop Secret Movie Theater Butter Popcorn Snack Size Bags </strong>contains 11 grams of saturated fat, 7 of which is trans fat. And these are the snack size! For a healthier version, pop your own and only use a small amount of butter.</p>
<p>8. <strong>Starbucks Venti (20 oz.) Caffe Mocha </strong>has 450 calories and 13 grams of bad fat. If you can&#8217;t miss your coffee fix, start the morning off right and order a tall with non-fat milk and no whipped cream.</p>
<p>9. The popular <strong>Chipotle Chicken Burrito </strong>(including tortilla, rice, beans, cheese, chicken, sour cream and salsa) rolls in at 1,040 calories and 16.5 grams of saturated fat, the equivalent of three 6-inch Subway steak and cheese sandwiches. The burrito also contains 2,500 mg of sodium.</p>
<p>10. <strong>Cold Stone Creamery&#8217;s Gotta Have It Founder&#8217;s Favorite </strong>with ice cream, pecans, brownie pieces, fudge and caramel has 1,600 calories and 42 grams of saturated fat, essentially the equivalent of five regular scoops of ice cream.</p>
