McDonald vs. Burger Kind - Calories Battle!

Ok! It's the labor day weekend! Cheer for all those hard working people having a day off!

And usually in these days are the time when we take a back seat, relax, eat and drink some great food, or some food that we normally crave but don't want to eat too often.

Yes, I had my burgers! Yes, it's more than one!

Since child, McDonald is such a brand fast food chain that I'm kinda addicted to it (have to say their commercial/marketing strategy on child is one of the best!)...

McDonald has been having the dollar value menu, which you can get a double cheese burger for only a $1. Wow...what a deal!

And other fast food chain has came to the battle for a while. Burger King chooses to have its Burger King Whooper Jr as a competitior.

So, (ignore the fact that they are fast food) what are the nutritional value of having a filling burger?

Here is the comparison data:

Calories
Double Cheeseburger: 440 vs. Whopper Jr.: 410 (WIN)

Total Fat (g)
Double Cheeseburger: 23 vs. Whopper Jr.: 23 (TIE)

Cholesterol (mg)
Double Cheeseburger: 80 vs. Whopper Jr.: 50 (WIN)

Protein (g)
Double Cheeseburger: 25 (WIN) vs. Whopper Jr.: 18

Carbonhydrate (g)
Double Cheeseburger: 34 vs. Whopper Jr.: 32 (WIN)

Well, base on the comparison, Burger King Whopper Jr. seems better in the few main nutritional categories!

Well, I had three McDonald Double Cheeseburger...what can I say, it's a weekend - a long weekend!
