Five months after it's debut on April 12, 2010, the Double Down is still available on KFC menus. This sandwich, which is heavily promoted on television, boasts, "Today is the day, the day I ignore the voice of reason. The day I ditch the bun and demand 2 meaty fillets, 2 slices of cheese, and 2 slices of bacon. The KFC Double Down; double meat, double cheese, double bacon, double awesome."
What the advertisement fails to tell consumers is that the product contains 540 calories, 32 grams of fat, and 1,380 milligrams of sodium! Talk about denying the voice of reason!
If you're trying to maintain a healthy, well-balanced diet, you have to be very careful when going out to eat. My recommendation is for you to do your homework beforehand. A great website that you can use to identify healthy (or at least healthier) items at restaurants is Calorie King.
With nutrition, knowledge is power! So arm yourself with the facts, and keep your nutrition on track when treating yourself out to dinner.
