The 25 Worst Sandwiches in America


9. WORST SANDWICH AT LONG JOHN SILVER’S

Alaskan Pollock Sandwich

470 calories
23 g fat (5 g saturated, 4.5 g trans)

The American Heart Association recommends keeping your trans fat intake below 1 percent of your total calories. How does this sandwich fare? Not well: 9 percent of its calories come in the form of the dangerous oil. The rule at Long John Silver’s is that if the fish isn’t grilled, it just isn’t safe. Go for the Grilled Pacific Salmon instead. Salmon has more omega-3 fats than any other fish in the sea, and it hasn’t been dipped in LSJ’s trans-fatty frying oil. That means you’re swapping out the world’s worst fats for the world’s best.

Eat This Instead!
