The thing that surprises me the most about fast food is how much more caloric it is by volume than homemade equivalents.
I've been tracking my meals on a phone app, and I had a breakfast burger thing at Hardee's the other day and it was almost 1,000 calories. The equivalent homemade English muffin breakfast sandwich is around 300-400 calories with egg, cheese, and meat. It wasn't a huge meal at Hardee's and I was hungry again at about the same time as usual- just with 600 more calories consumed.
All restaurants slather it in butter and salt. The secret to anything tasting good? Butter n salt. More than you're thinking. No, more than that. Still more. Ok yes, now double it.

You're right, and also Hardee's is fucking delicious. There's gotta be some bad stuff in there.

That's the healthy menu option.
