Wikipedia has a list of the 100 largest fast food chains. I looked at them and applied the following logic: if I was on a road trip with someone and they suggested that restaurant, how happy or unhappy would I be? Here are my judgments.
I would be happy if they suggested it. Pizza Hut Chick-fil-A Wendy's Panda Express Sbarro A&W I would be generally approving if they suggested it. McDonald's KFC Long John Silver's Jack in the Box Papa John's Pizza Church's Chicken Arby's Qdoba Mexican Eats Captain D's Five Guys Jamba Juice Hardee's I would be indifferent. I wouldn't be thrilled, but I wouldn't try to talk them out of it. Domino's Pizza Quiznos Dairy Queen Sonic Drive-In Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen Chipotle Mexican Grill I would gently try to talk them out of it. Einstein Bros. Bagels Burger King Taco Bell Whataburger Del Taco Jimmy John's Moe's Southwest Grill I would avidly look for some other option, any other option, to suggest. Carl's Jr. Wingstop WingStreet Panera Bread Auntie Anne's Subway Little Caesars I'm not familiar enough with these places to judge them: Hunt Brothers Pizza Tim Hortons CNHLS Sibylla Costa Coffee Jollibee Ting Hsin International Group Dicos Pelicana Chicken Shanghai Shihao Sukiya Pala Hamburger Chester's International MOS Burger Papa Murphy's LEM hamburger Ichibanya Firehouse Subs Kebab Turki Baba Rafi Telepizza Bob's Jersey Mike's Subs Nando's Chooks-to-Go Kennedy Fried Chicken BreadTalk 85C Bakery Cafe Zaxby's Blimpie Checkers and Rally's Southern Fried Chicken Bojangles' Famous Chicken 'n Biscuits Pizza Pizza CiCi's Pizza Country Style Habib's Rita's Italian Ice Smoothie King Da Niang Dumpling Brioche Dorée Charley's Grilled Subs Round Table Pizza Pita Pit Kungfu Culver's Steers I don't view these places as fast-food joints. Starbucks Dunkin' Donuts Baskin-Robbins Orange Julius Denny's IHOP Café Coffee Day Buffalo Wild Wings Krispy Kreme Häagen-Dazs Cinnabon Applebee's Shakey's Chuck E. Cheese's Steak 'n Shake Chili's

Dad used to have a rule that if we couldn't decide where we wanted to eat, then we were going to McDonald's.
As a child, it never occurred to me that it was a subtle way to manipulate Mom into making up her mind, using the kids as cover. Still, it worked on us. Even as '90s kids, there were ALWAYS better options than McDonald's. |

According to their nutritional menu if it's a bowl then it's 43 grams of protein and about 70% of your daily sodium.

That's another one with a weird cult following. At least when people say they like eating at a place like White Castle, it's followed with "after a night of heavy drinking," but some people love that powered cheese shit even when they're sober and thinking straight.

The only way you get close to 1000 calories with single helpings of rice, chicken, cheese, lettuce, and tomato, is if it's a burrito and not a bowl or salad (or the person behind the counter gives you a ton of rice and cheese).
When I ate there more often, I switched from one of those 1000+ calorie burritos to barbacoa/cheese/sour cream/guac. 620 calories, 34g protein, and 6 carbs (minus fiber). They do show it in that pretty graph and actually state it in the article... Quote:

I've eaten a lot of fast food in the past. All things being equal, if you take each menu and have the food prepared as it is intended, McD's is the worst. Their strategy is not to offer the best food. Their strategy is to attempt offer the exact same food at every single location. Your shitty McD's burger is supposed to be exactly the same no matter where you buy it. The idea is to get you used to how their food tastes and get you expecting that same taste even if it's not very good. It works. Because people who habitually consume fast food don't notice that it's a shitty burger. They are more concerned with price and convenience.
