Killer Fat Burger

Burger chain Hardees has an interesting item on it's menu - the 'Monster Thickburger'. The burger packs a whopping 1417 calories - of which 965 calories are made up of fat. Add a medium fries and small coke to this - and you're looking at 2200 calories.

Fast food outlets have been making some attempt to provide healthier options but some of them just don't seem to get it. Why is it that bad food like this is cheap but healthy options are at a price premium?

Hi Kim-

Muscle is more dense than fat, so if you don't have an unhealthy amount of fat on you, you're probably pretty muscular. That's where the 100 pounds is coming from. Enjoy it, weight is just a number, it's more important to have a healthy body composition than to obsess about what the scale says. Have fun at the carnival or amusement park and go to the "Guess Your Weight" booths - they'll always guess too low, and then they'll compliment you by asking where you're hiding it.

Find something else to worry about, it sounds like you're doing all the right things.

I am 21 years old, 57 inches tall and I weight 140 pounds. I am afraid that I am overweight.
Am I?

According to my body mass, I am not overweight. But yet I am 118 lbs. and only five feet tall. I never like what I see in the mirror. I have tried exercising, but I have never lost more than three pounds. Could I possibly be fat even though I am, "average"?

dear emma,
my mother always told me that if you don't like what you see in the mirror, than try exercising. It seems like exewrcising isn't your thing, though. Try cutting down on deserts and unhealthy snacks. Try buying smoothies more often. They make you fuller when you haven't actually eaten much.

ginger-
if you gained fifty-one pounds, then you would be fat. So don't worry about loosing weight because you are actrually underweight. The average body mass is 18.5-24.9. You are actually 17.6 body mass. good luck!

dear name,
it is terrible that you have such a controlling disease. You should try telling your mom about what is going on if she doesn't know already. She could help you get into a re-hab center. It is good that you realize that you have a problem. Because the truth is that you are 35 pounds under weight. It may seem like you are beautiful at 63 pounds, but you need to gain weight fast or you will die. Try to eat three meals a day with two snacks. G0OD LUCK!!!!

riku,
you may think you are fat, but you are truly SKINNY!!!! If you think you should be worried, don't be because i am actually at risk for becoming overweight. I am in the 91st percentile, but I am not dieting crazily, just trying to exercise and eat fruits, vegetables and smoothies daily. So should you. If you follow this plan, don't worry about what the scale says.

ana,
Don't worry about your weight. You are so small that you are almost underweight. Be proud of your figure and try not to glance at the scale every ten minutes, but once every day. Most likely you won't loose ten pounds in an hour. Treat your body well and never starve yourself. As long as you always exercise and eat relatively healthy, then you have no reason to worry about what the scale says!

Hi my nane is erika, i have been chunky my whole life when was was younger it really didn't affect me as much as it affected when i was around twelve years old. When i was twelve i was 180-190 and i wasn't tall at all i was 5'2.i was sad everyday because i would go to school and i would see all the little skinny girls wearing cute little clothes that i would never be able to wear that really made me sad and than i would go home and my mom and my little brothers would call me fat every time i ate so every where i went i felt like every one was looking at me as if i was a big fat cow. so i decided that i had to do something about this and i did, i started to cut all my meals in half that really helped me out!!!! and than i tried walking more like if i needed something from my room i would take the longest way there(being active really helps) after a few months i started losing weight i really didn't notice it but everyone that knew me started telling me that it looked like i had lost some weight(oh man does that feel good!!!) in which i had, i had lost twenty pounds! so i was down at 160-170 it felt good that that was till too much for me. i remained at 160 for around a year i knew that i could lose another twenty pounds so i tried it it was much harder this time because i was already eatting half of what i used to eat and i was also much more active than what i used to be so i tried figuring out to see what else ca help me. i would run 3-5 miles a day three times a week and drink a lot of water a lot!!!!! like a gallon and a half a day that really helped me lose weight fast!!!! it wasn't easy(i worked my butt off!!)but i was down to 143 i was so happy i thought i would never weigh that it was like a dream come true!!! i was happy to be that weight for about a year or two i remained that weight but, i still didn't feel comfortable so i decided to eat just healthy foods all i ate was salads and all i drank was water! and within 6 to 7 months from when i decided to lose weight i was at 130 it was the lowest i had ever weighed i was so happy i thought that i would never weigh lower than 140! so now i am 130 5'4 i am happy with my weight but being that i was always called fat i always going to think of myself as fat! i do try to talk my self out of thinking that i am fat i try not to think about it but it always comes up!!! well i guess i pretty much mentioned everything i went through and how much i think it was worth it! my advice to every one out there that is like i was i am telling you there is a way out of that but it is not easy but it is worth it!!!! another thing that i forgot tomention eat!!!! don't stuff yourself though!!! if you stay without eatting it will only make you fatter believe me i have tried it, it makes you fatter because your body thinks that you willnot feed it any more so when you do feed it it will hold on to any food you eat even if it is healthy food and store it as fat i have tried it and i lost 5 pounds and gained 7 back! so i do reccommend for you to eat!!!! but no greasy foods and if you can't help youself get the smallest amount possible and share!!! well good luck and keep a good attitude don't give up because if you really do try it will happen i swear it will!!!!

If you want to lose weight to be healthy,that's ok.But don't lose weight to please others.You are only 11,you don't need a boyfriend.This blog will help you if you read it.But I think you should talk to your parents.They must help you.Maybe they should take you to a doctor.

Tarah, if you want people to be nice to you for who you really are, they'll be nice to you no matter what your size. If people are not nice to you now, but are nice to you when you lose weight, then they are not being nice to you for who you are.

Derin is right, If you want to lose weight to be healthy, thats one thing, but losing weight because you think it will make people like you better is not a good way to think. The people who really matter are the ones who'll like you no matter what.

Lauran:

If you want to lose weight you should make sure that you do it in a healthy fashion. See if your parents can take you to your Dr or even better you Dr and a nutritionist who can come up with a healthy food plan for you and talk with you about what exercises you can do and how much is healthy and how much in unhealthy. As far as losing it in tome for school. Obviously the sooner you start the sooner you'll get there but remember being healthy is a life long endevor. You just want to make sure you develope healthy habits now...

Good luck Lauran. You can do anything if you put your mind to it!

hey, pretty girl i think u shuld be more understanding many gurls starve thereself as u sed including me and it doesnt make you put on weight, i 15, 5'7 and weigh 101 pounds bec i used to get bullied at school, im not saying its right but everyone can loose weight in there own way and u shouldnt judge them by that

Reply
Sean Perkey

jessi,

I'm not trying to judge you and I don't think pretty girl was judging people who starve themselves but it's irresponsible to suggest it as a fitness option not to mention that it is completely unhealthy to deny your body food especially when you are growing and your body needs certain nutrients to form correctly. Please don't think that I'm trying to be mean I just want you to relize the difference between judgement and concern. I'm glad that you feel better at your current weight, though some would tell you that you're a little underweight, but please make sure that you are eating healthy foods and are not starving yourself. There are much better ways to keep the weight off and food is not your enemy.
