A basic double hamburger can cost you about 600 to 1,200 calories, depending on size and condiments.
But that is chump change compared to dishes such as fried chicken and waffles from The Cheesecake Factory. This sumptuous Sunday brunch offering has crispy fried chicken strips on top of Belgian waffles. These are topped with poached eggs and a Hollandaise sauce. Plus, it is served with Maple Butter syrup. It's a diet killer at 2,580 calories.
Coming up just a tad under is Buffalo Wild Wings dessert nachos. A crispy flour tortilla "sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar, loaded with ice cream and gooey breaded cheesecake bites" topped with chocolate and caramel sauce. It's a sugar high that packs on the pounds at 2,100 calories.
