We love this iconic American showdown between
the two biggest fast-food purveyors and their
two most famous burgers. Despite the tri-bun and
the special sauce, the Big Mac prevails by a
respectable margin. Blame the Whopper’s defeat
on a massive bun and a 160-calorie sheen of mayo
adorning the patty. (McDonald’s may prevail, but
both BK and Mickey D need to do something about
the trans fat in their burgers…immediately.)

Quiznos sandwiches all follow the same basic architectural
formula: meat, heavy sauce, melted cheese. This bulky beef
sandwich is no exception. In a mere 8", they manage to cram in a
full day’s worth of fat and 75 percent of your daily sodium allotment.
Seek solace in Subway’s 6" roast beef. Normally it doesn’t have
the heft to compare with Quiznos’s regular-size sandwiches, but
the double meat option is a genius way to up the protein for a tiny
caloric cost. Plus, Subway has about a dozen different vegetables
you can pile on your sandwich gratis. Take full advantage.
