Healthy Eating: Kids Meals

Top 10 Worst Kids' Meals

These meals may be made for little ones, but they serve big time helpings of fat, calories and sodium

#6: Worst Fast Food Burger Meal

McDonald’s Mighty Kids Meal with Double Cheeseburger, Fries (small), and 1% Chocolate Milk Jug
840 calories
37 g fat (14 g saturated, 1.5 g trans)
1,460 mg sodium

The Golden Arches should be commended for increasing the number of healthy options in recent years. In particular, the chain now offers Apple Dippers in every Happy Meal. Unfortunately, fries are still the norm, making it incredibly easy to construct a lousy meal at McDonald’s. This burger, fries, and milk combo chews through more than a half day’s worth of calories, fat, and sodium. You might get a toy in the box, but you also get a lot of empty calories.
