Is This Really The Worst Burger On The Menu?

There has been a lot of talk about KFC's new bunless burger The Double Down, which consists of bacon and cheese sandwiched between two bits of fried chicken. But, hey – at least there's no bread.

It's hardly surprising though that nutritionists aren't giving the "burger" their seal of approval. With 1939 kilojoules and 32.3g of fat, it's certainly not something you want to be chowing down on a daily basis. But is it really that much worse than all the rest of the fast food options being handed out at drive-thru windows?

It still has less kilojules than the McDonald's Double Quarter Pounder (which contains a whopping 3560kJ) or the Grand Crispy Chicken (with a not so grand 2510kJ) – and the Hungry Jack's Ultimate Double Whopper leaves them all for dead with a massive 5085kJ and 80.5g of fat.

So it might not be the worst of the lot, but it's safe to say it's not going to do your waistline any favours. Bread or no bread.
