Fast Food Wars: Battle of the Burgers
As summer season rolls in and vacation-starved people begin planning road trips to sunny destinations, images of sandy beaches, palm trees, flashing lights, margaritas and (unfortunately) greasy fast food restaurants comes to mind.
It’s probably inevitable that there will be a good number of fast food stops along the way to pick up some burgers and fries from McDonald’s or Burger King or some sandwiches from Subway or Quiznos. That’s why it’s important to know all the nutritional facts—from calories and grams of fat to sodium and cholesterol—about the menu items at the leading fast food restaurants, burger joints, taco bars and sandwich shops.
Calories, Fat and Obesity
According to a New York Times report, eating too much saturated fat can greatly contribute to heart disease as a result of clogged arteries. But fast food menu items are high in saturated fats and contribute to America’s high rate of obesity and heart disease.
While the American love of fast food may not fade away anytime soon, knowing which fast food restaurants have items with relatively less calories and lower levels of saturated fat, can help shave off some calories.
Take, for example, a FindTheBest comparison of McDonald’s vs. Burger King. A regular hamburger at McDonald’s has 250 calories and 80 calories from fat, while the same hamburger at Burger King has 260 calories and 100 calories from fat. At McDonald’s, medium French fries have 380 calories and 170 calories from fat, while the same fries at Burger King have 440 calories and 200 calories from fat. The burgers and fries may taste the same, but the extra calories can be cut by doing the research first and choosing the option with the least amount of calories and fat.
In addition to calories and fat grams, it’s also important to be aware of other nutritional information like sodium.
Sodium—the White Poison
According to a New York Times report, high levels of sodium can contribute to high blood pressure. High levels of sodium intake may also lead to a dangerous build-up of fluid in people with congestive heart failure, cirrhosis or kidney disease.
Most reports say that the average person should have no more than 2,300 mg of sodium per day. That might sound like a lot, but there are roughly 2,300 mg of sodium in a single teaspoon. It’s particularly important for people to frequent fast food restaurants to watch levels their sodium intake, as about 77 percent of the average person’s sodium intake comes from processed and prepared foods.
A Blimpie Turkey and Bacon Super Stacked sandwich, for example is loaded with 5,250 mg of sodium, while a Carl’s Jr Western Bacon Six-Dollar Burger is laced with 2,520 mg of sodium. Both of these items have more than the daily allowance of sodium for the average person.
Yet another important thing to watch for is cholesterol levels.
Cholesterol and Heart Disease
According to the American Heart Association, about 106.7 million Americans aged 20 and older have high cholesterol. The breakdown by gender is 50.8 million men, and 55.9 million women. According to the AHA, of these 106.7 million, 37.2 million have total blood cholesterol levels of 240 mg/dL or higher.
Therefore, it’s important to know the cholesterol contents in your food.
According to the National Cholesterol Education Program recommends that the average person should consume less than 200 mg of cholesterol a day. But many fast food items, in and of themselves, contain much more than that.
Take for example the McDonald’s Big Breakfast with Hotcakes and regular size biscuit, which comes with 575 mg of cholesterol—that’s 192 percent of your daily value. It’s not just McDonald’s. Carl’s Jr.’s Steak & Egg Burrito has a whopping 535 mg of cholesterol—178 percent of your daily value.
Though it’s likely impossible to escape the hidden calories, fat, sodium and cholesterol contents of these delicious fast food burgers, golden fries, turkey clubs and bacon cheeseburgers while on the road this summer, it’s important to be aware of your best options and to eat accordingly.

World Cup 2010: The Countdown Begins
The day before the World Cup games officially kick off in South Africa June 11, soccer fans are scrambling to place bets on who will make it to the final round. Most analysts are currently placing their wagers on a Spanish v. Brazil final, with Spain taking home the World Cup for the first time ever. According to FindTheBest.com, Spain has never even taken home third place, but the ramped up team is expect to come out blazing this year.
Of the starting 32 teams, most sports analysts predict the top 10 teams will include:
- Spain
- Brazil
- England
- Argentina
- Holland
- Germany
- Italy
- France
- Portugal
- Serbia
It’s interesting to see that none of the big names that have historically turned up in the finals—like Brazil, France, Italy, Argentina and Germany—are expected to take home the Cup.
In predicting a World Cup winner for 2010, it’s important to take into consideration past World Cups to see any team trends. The past five World Cup winners include: Germany (1990); Brazil (1994); France (1998); Brazil (2002) and Italy (2006). To find and sort through each of the past 18 World Cups, visit FindTheBest’s World Cup App.
Place your bets now on the world’s most watched sports tournament—the games kick off tomorrow.
Use FindTheBest's World Cup widget to find information on the past 18 World Cup games, beginning in 1930.

Big Baller Salaries in Your City
When we’re young, we grow up with the mentality that we should pursue what we love and everything will work out for the best. Then come the student loans, the car payments, the cell phone bills and the realization that we wished we would have chosen a major in college that would allow us to score the high paying jobs! But what and where are the high paying jobs? What are the highest paying jobs in your city and which cities pay the highest for people in your field?
Luckily, FindTheBest has a Salary Range for Career and City App that allows you to sort through and compare thousands of jobs, and their average salaries, in cities across the United States.
Are you a communications major in Los Angeles who dreams of living in a two-story Beverly Hills home? Well, unless you’re planning on winning the lotto, it may be time to think about changing majors. Studying anesthesiology or dentistry may sound like a jump, but anesthesiologists and dentists—along with chief executives and surgeons—have the highest paid jobs in Los Angeles.
If you’re one of those people who love what they do, but would also love to tack a few grand onto their current salary, find out which cities pay the most for people with your career. For example, if you’re a social worker, you might consider moving to Green Bay, Wisconsin, where the annual mean salary for mental health and substance abuse social workers is more than $100,000. Have you recently passed the Bar and are looking for work? You might consider moving to San Jose, where the average annual salary for lawyers is $181,850.
Interested in finding the highest paid jobs in your area? Looking to find out which cities pay the highest average salaries for a person with your job? Check out FindTheBest’s Salary Range for Career and City App to find out the answers to these questions. You can also try entering your desired job and city in the table below.

NCAA Basketball: Whose Jersey will be Retired?
Madness. So far, that's exactly what this year's Big Dance has been, and there's still quite a bit of action in-store for this coming weekend. What sort of crazy world do we live in when the overall #1 seed, Kansas, is on the plane ride home, and the eggheads from Cornell are still practicing layups on the tournament hardwood?
A lot of people like to make bold predictions at this stage in the tournament, usually to distract attention from their atrocious brackets, which by now are covered in large X's and blotches of red ink.
But instead of making even more soon-to-be-inaccurate predictions, perhaps it's best to look far further into the future, into the crystal ball of the NBA. Who will be leading a professional team to a championship in the next 5 years? Which current NCAA Tournament nobody might dust off the rust and show some value in the big leagues?
Take a stroll with us down memory lane with the Retired Jerseys App. Remember Bill Russell? How 'bout Wilt "the Stilt" Chamberlain? Do John Wall and Evan Turner have what it takes to be similarly enshrined? Here's our predictions: Sign-up Mr. Wall for a retired jersey slot right now--he'll have a championship within 5 years of being drafted into the NBA. As for Mr. Turner? Pencil him in. He'll be a Scottie Pippen: not the best, but a key role player to a successful franchise.
