How many calories in a Big Mac?

Based on several stories they've been doing on obesity and fast food restaurants, The Washington Post has created a Calorie Counter for several major fast food chain menus. You can select various items and then determine the calorie and fat content of your meal. How fun!

For example, a Big Mac, medium fries and a medium Coke will net you a whopping 1,250 calories and 56 grams of fat. Keep in mind that for a 2,000 calorie diet, the recommended fat intake is only 65 grams. So ONE meal at McDonald's gives you almost all the fat grams you need in an ENTIRE DAY, not to mention 63% of your calories!

Check out your favorite fast food place here.
