Located mainly in California and Texas, Wienerschnitzel serves "The most popular Wiener of the world", which is why we decided to look closer to its long menu.

She also pointed out that this property has "very few healthy options, so certainly cautious when ordering here.

Here are the best and worst menu items available at WienerSchnitzel.

Hot Dogs

Your "Best" Hot Dog Menu is one with everyone's favorite Tangy condiment because it's the lowest calorie option in this category, according to Brod. "However, there is still a lot of nutritional value," she says.

This hot dog, garnished with French fries, the famous Chile sauce, a slice of American cheese and mustard, is a big non-no due to the high saturated fat content.

"According to the 2015-2020Dietary directivesA healthy power supply model includes less than 10% of daily calories of saturated fat, "says Brod". More than half of Junkyard's dog calories come from saturated grease. Too much fat saturated in the diet has been associated with an increased risk of chronic disease, in particularheart disease. "

Burgers and Sandwiches

This simple pipe hamburger, surmounted by the famous Chili sauce and the famous American cheese on a toast, "is considered" the best "because it is lower in calories and lower sodium compared to the" worst " But similar to the Hot Dog mustard above, it still does not hold a lot of nutritional value, "says Brod.

The nutrition expert also stressed that there are ways to make a burger an even healthier option.

"A hamburger can be a perfectly nutrient option in moderation, using lean cut beef and vegetable fillings with more limited oils and sauces, and even a whole wheat bun," she says.

The extra ingredients of this burger (bacon, American cheese and barbecue sauce) are what puts this meal on the edge.

"Here you consume additional calories and saturated greases of the barbecue sauce, which tends to be loaded with added sugars, as well as bacon and cheese," she says. "Although this burger has a lot of protein, there are ways significantly better to integrate proteins into your diet."

This is even more ocular opening is the large amount of calories in a hamburger.

"Calories here are equivalent to 25 Hershey Kisses," says Brod. Yikes!

Fries and snacks

A small order of crispy French fries is one of the best choices of the Fries and Snacks category, but the game is essential in this case (do not bend and order the big!).

"The French fries really have no significant nutritional value, however, the control of portions in more indulgent scenarios will always be an important strategy to maintain all health and well-being objectives," said Brod.

The number of very high calories and sodium content in these fries, which are lined with Chile, a thousand island dressing, shredded cheddar cheese and grilled onions, are the most ocular opening factors.

"These fries have as many calories as many people who probably bring an entire day," says Brod. "They also almost double the amount of recommended daily sodium!"

Breakfast (note: only served until 10:30 at participating locations)

These fries potato delights are the "best" breakfast option because of the lower calories, but they probably would not be consumed for themselves during a meal, which is important to note.

"I would choose something that is a more complete meal, then practice the control of the portions (maybe a plain egg sandwich and cheese if available, for example)," says Brod. "If available for you, twinning chopped brown with something more nutritional value, such as eggs or severely boiled fruits, would be a way to create a more balanced meal."

This hot biscuit is garnished with an Omelelet style egg, a sausage and an American cheese, and unfortunately it has a large amount of sodium and calories.

"Cookies add a lot of calories and sugar added to what might otherwise be a choice of ok breakfast, says Brod. In this case, perhaps request a regular toast or completely opting bread.

Mous service cones

This classic and tasty Vanilla cone is a better choice if you plan to deliver to dessert after your meal.

"This is one of the simplest desserts in the menu. It is therefore lower in general calories," says Brod. "If you just need a taste of something sweet after a meal, keep it simple can be calorically beneficial."

Even if this cone is plunged into the sweet chocolate, Brod says that "in terms of dessert, it is still not so bad", even if the chocolate adds additional calories. "Consider dividing that cone with someone and it's a very reasonable treatment," she says.

Shake and freeze

This mixed Treatment from Oreo and Vanilla Soft-Serve can be the "best" of this category despite the high sugar content, but "this dessert is even more calorie than a typical meal," says Brod. "If it was an add to a meal, especially of this restaurant, you probably exceed a day of caloric consumption necessary. The best way to do this a" best "choice is to enjoy it with a few other spoons in the mixture ! " she says.

This thick and creamy shake with vanilla vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup and Oreo cookies landed at the bottom of the list due to its low nutritional value, particularly the high sugar content.

"This Shake is about 1/2-3 / 4 a daily consumption of an average person," says Brod. "The 122 grams of sugar here equivalent to more than three cans of soda. It is great crucial to keep an eye on your daily sugar intake. TheAmerican Heart Association Recommends no more than 25 grams of sugar added daily for women and 36 grams of sugar added daily for men. In fact, the new nutrition labeling laws now reveal natural sugar (such as fruit) against sugars added on the nutrition label.Added sugars are not necessary from a functional level of nutrition and add to inflammation andobesity. "

Sundaes, banana splits and root beer floats

To make this vanilla cup of softness surmounted by the strawberry sauce, a whipped cream and a cherry an even better choice, ditch all the fittings and / or share this dessert with other people.

"Added fittings and large portions add to your total calorie, added sugars and added greases," says Brod.

Because the candy banana slot is loaded with chocolate syrup, M & MS, Oreos and Reese peanut butter cups, it is amplified the amount of sugar in the sweet cake.

"Due to the added sugar of candies, ice cream and fittings, this dessert is loaded with goodies, but also loaded with added sugars totaling 107 grams," she says. Yikes!
