I'm at Taco Bell, What Should I Never Order?


Previously I did a post on Taco Bell's best options.


 I've also written on the best and worst at McDonald's. Now it is time to tackle the worst menu items that Taco Bell has to offer. 

  1. Fiesta Taco Salad. So many people think that something with salad in the title must be relatively healthy. When in reality this is easily one of the worst items on the menu for you. If you eat the entire thing you'll consume about 840 calories and an astounding 45g of fat.
  2. Nacho Supreme/Bellgrande. Although nachos can be delicious, the options offered up at Taco Bell aside from the bare bones chips and cheese option are nutritional disasters. They both have upwards of 1,800mg of sodium and a minimum of 800 calories depending on which option you order.
  3. Crunchwrap Supreme. Another really popular option that Taco Bell is known for, and another nutritional sinkhole. Just thinking about all the ingredients stuffed into this shell should be enough of a clue that it is going to be a calorie-bomb. For one crunchwrap you'll consume about 550 calories.
  4. Grilled Stuft Burritos. These are the big sodium items on the menu. Which is saying a lot considering how much sodium the food has in general. At a minimum the sodium level in a grilled stuft burrito comes in at 2,000mg, which is more then the recommended daily intake for the average person. They are also pretty high in calories, at anywhere from 600-750 for one burrito.
  5. Mexican Pizza. Not as popular or well known as the others on this list, it is still a definite no when ordering from Taco Bell. For a relatively small serving size you'll consume about 530 calories and 30 grams of fat.
