It's no secret that the offerings at most fast-food restaurants in America aren't exactly the healthiest. From deep-fried chicken and fries to seared burgers stacked three patties high with bacon and cheese to sugar-loaded shakes and sundaes, it's easy to see how you can rack up the calories in most fast-food orders.

We scoured the menus of the 25 most popular fast-food restaurants in the country, including national staples like McDonald's and Burger King, plus a few that get a healthier rep, like Panera Bread and Subway, to find the highest-calorie orders you can place. While we found several items we expected to make this list (looking at you, Triple Whopper with Cheese), you may be surprised by how many side orders, drinks, and even a salad make the cut.
