Your estimates for a slice of cheese and bacon are too high, especially the paper thin 'bacon' fast food places use. I realize you were likely embellishing a bit to make a point, but when I first started counting calories I was terrible at estimating. Now I can do it without thinking, a few months of having to look everything up will do that to you :P

slice of bacon: about 50 calories, a kraft single "cheese" slice is maybe 70 calories.

That is a huge amount of food for 1 person to eat. And the macros are all wrong, like 50% carb! It's too bad fast food places don't have any veggie options, I'd rather do broccoli & cauliflower than fries. My husband and I do the same thing on the rare occasions we eat fast food (mostly on road trips), one of us gets a meal and other just gets a burger, then we split the fries and diet coke. Usually don't finish it all either.

Hey now! French fries are made out of potatoes, and potatoes are a vegetable. Not only that but EVERYONE knows that deep frying uses so much heat that it cooks the calories out.

Checkmate shitlord!

They were calculating for two sandwiches. A slice of cheese at in-and-out (not going to use Kraft slices because idk what better-than-mcdonald's fast food place would use such a cheap cheese) is 110 calories, several slices of bacon per sandwich is probably 100-150 calories...together that's anywhere between 210-250 calories, times two (two sandwiches) and that's 420-500 calories, which coincides with what OP estimated.

In-and-out uses damn tasty cheese though. Never been to Burger King but I'm sure their sandwich menu has calories notated somewhere.

Oh gross, I didn't realize they were talking extra cheese and bacon for 2 sandwiches.

For those curious about the actual counts I looked it up: a burger king cheese slice has exactly 80 calories, the bacon adds about 120. x2 would be 160+240=400calories

The place I work has a calorie calc on their website for the food. A salad there goes from like 230 calories down to 190 without the bacon. Shit is salty too.

I think it depends on be on and the amount of slices and how it's cooked. The bacon i eat is 40cal for grilled, but it's quite high price and it's mostely neat with little fat. I'm not sure what if it's a cheap cut made of fat
