Fast Food Restaurant Grades

Men's Health Magazine's ratings of best and worst fast food restaurants:

A+ Chick-Fil-A
Not a single entrée breaks the 500-calorie barrier, a feat unmatched in the fast-food world.
Average calories per meal: 390

A Subway
An impressive selection of 6-inch sandwiches with less than 400 calories each earns Jared's joint a second-place finish.
Average calories per meal: 425

A- Boston Market
Its expansive menu of healthy sides and nutritionally reasonable three-piece chicken meals gives diners plenty of choices.
Average calories per meal: 479

B+ Taco Bell
It's okay to "make a run for the border," as long as you limit yourself to just two tacos or a single burrito.
Average calories per meal: 427

B Wendy's
Although calorically comparable to McDonald's, Wendy's edges out the Arches with less trans fat and a range of healthy sides.
Average calories per meal: 462

B- McDonald's
Burgers are reasonable, but other items, like 1,000-calorie pancake platters, send McDonald's numbers soaring.
Average calories per meal: 464

C+ KFC
It's hard to have "fried" in your name and still make a decent grade. To halve calories, order your chicken without skin. (or try the new baked option)
Average calories per meal: 511

C Arby's
The array of sandwiches suffers from an abundance of creamy dressings, spreads, and melted cheese sauce.
Average calories per meal: 530

C- Burger King
Thousand-calorie-plus burgers like the Quad Stacker give this chain a below-average score.
Average calories per meal: 531

C- Domino's
Two slices of any Feast pizza contain from 460 (thin-crust vegetable) to 880 calories (MeatZZa, deep dish).
Average calories per meal: 556

D Panera Bread
Healthy sides, whole grains, and free Wi-Fi can't offset oversized, calorie-loaded salads and sandwiches.
Average calories per meal: 574

D- Pizza Hut
Massive pasta portions are nearly 1,000 calories, while personal pan pizzas average 660 calories. Average calories per meal: 650
