All tag results for 'whopper'

Well, that didn't last long!

Vampire Diaries actress Nina Dobrev was a vegetarian for a whopping 4 months before she needed, well, a Whopper.

In a recent interview appearing in the Seventeen Fitness issue, hitting stands on May 3, she explained:

"At the end of last year, I tried being a vegetarian for four months, and after awhile, I started feeling weak, like I needed more protein, more energy. Then I read a review of an episode of The Vampire Diaries online, and in it the writer mentioned that I was looking too thin. I was like, 'Okay, maybe they're right.' It made me think: I need a burger — a beef burger, not a soy burger."

Vegetarianism isn't for eveyone! Still, the actress says she has plenty of admiration for anybody who can eat that healthy, saying:

"I have so much respect for vegetarians and I'm so glad I tried it, but it just didn't work out for me."

Nina, who is naturally petite and was a competitive gymnast before becoming an actress, says she's also trying to avoid looking stick thin.

"I've realized skinny isn't necessarily attractive", she commented. "Guys like girls with curves."

That may be true, but we say focus on yourself. Don't let other's opinions decide how you should look.

For all the guys out there wondering if they have what it takes to wine and dine the lovely Nina Dobrev, she gives the skinny on what she's looking for in a guy, stating:

"I like the Chris Pines and the Ryan Goslings — those types who are fit but not too fit. I'm attracted to the low-maintenance, touseled-but-happens-to-still-look-amazing guy. I like effortless. A guy who wears track pants, a T-shirt and a hat and can still be causal. Not the 'How much can you lift?' kind of guy. That doesn't matter to me at all!"

So muscle heads OUT, low maintenance movie stars IN!

Will this be on the "dollar menu"…or will they have a separate "rock star menu?"

Looks like McDonald's is on board with Team Sheen, because last week they tweeted the following, which Charlie Sheen has since retweeted:

Despite all the rumors there r no plans 2 bring #mclobster or mcsushi 2 the US menu. We r working on a new menu item called McWinning.

Wow. Guess you better figure out something fast if you want to compete, Burger King! Maybe it's time to change the name "Whopper" to "Warlock"…at least for now…

Would U eat a McWinning sandwich? Do U think McWinning will be a sandwich??? Do U think it will actually get made?????

Maybe it’s not a good idea to make that your new diet rule, but in an attempt to create “healthy” menus, restaurants have created a plethora of new salads, some of which are worse for you than a Whopper.

It may seem surprising, but if you were to place a Whopper (670 calories 40 grams of fat) and, let’s say, P.F. Chang’s Chicken Chopped Salad with Ginger Dressing (730 calories, 48 grams of fat) next to each other, it would be easy to see. Sure, the salad has a lot of lettuce, but it’s also topped with a thick layer of chicken, dressing, and pound of other non-lettuce stuff that packs in the calories.

Here are a few of the other big salad offenders:

Einstein Bros' Bistro Salad with Chicken (940 calories, 71 grams of fat)

California Pizza Kitchen's Waldorf Chicken Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing (1,570 calories, 30 grams of saturated fat)

Applebee’s Oriental Chicken Salad (1,310 calories, 15 grams of fat, 88 grams of carbs)

Yikes!

In order to avoid these and other caloric monsters, make sure to read exactly what’s on the salad you're ordering and always take the dressing on the side.

We’re not quite sure how we feel about this, but apparently America needs more hamburgers.

Or at least that’s what Burger King would have you believe, as they just opened the first ever BK Whopper Bar in Times Square. The restaurant features meaty concoctions such as “The Meat Beast Whopper” (which clocks in at 1,250 calories) and the “California Whopper,” which substitutes ketchup with avocados.

If that’s not enough, they will be rolling out “The New York Pizza Burger” next month. This is what you’re in for if you dare to order it:

“Four quarter-pound Whopper patties lay on top of a nine-and-a-half inch sesame seed bun. The burgers are then covered in pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, marinara and Tuscan pesto sauce.”

We recommend caution with these burgers if you’re watching your figure or are in the mood to avoid cardiac arrest.
