FAST FOOD Company Web sites 'fess up about calories, fat

WASHINGTON POST
We've all heard the word, right? Nutrition experts tell us to pay attention to what we're eating. So are you asking yourself just how many calories are in that Big Mac? How much fat and sodium are in Wendy's Mandarin Chicken Salad? How about those Crispy Curls at Hardee's? Try the restaurants' Web sites.
You'll learn that a Big Mac has 580 calories and 33 grams of fat at Mcdonalds.com/countries/usa/food/nutrition. (McDonald's seemed to have the most detailed analysis.)
You'll see that Wendy's Mandarin Chicken Salad has 150 calories, 1.5 grams of fat and 650 mg sodium, but its Spicy Chicken Sandwich has 430 calories, 15 grams of fat and 1,240 mg sodium at Wendys.com (a very friendly, easy-to-navigate site).
Burgerking.com/food/nutrition reveals that a Croissan'wich with Sausage and Cheese has 475 calories (330 calories from fat; that's 36 grams).
At TacoBell.com a Chalupa Baja with beef weighs in with 430 calories, 27 grams of fat and 750 mg sodium, but a regular taco is only 170 calories, 10 grams of fat and 350 mg sodium.
