Chicken Fried Steak With Gravy
A plate of chicken fried steak with gravy is essentially a plate of fat. Battered, deep-fried steak is already extremely fatty, but then, top it with a thick, buttery gravy, and you are just asking for a heart attack.
Steak
Now let's talk about regular steak…it’s so fatty! Beef has some seriously fatty cuts. A twenty-nine-ounce porterhouse steak has about 79 grams of fat. That is almost your entire recommended daily intake of just one piece of meat. Plus, if you put butter or sauce on top of your steak, it will be even higher.
Fondue
A fondue is a bowl of melted cheese with milk and butter mixed in. It is almost solid fat.
Poutine
This classic Canadian food is very high in fat which may be why it tastes so good. Poutine is made by slathering french fries in brown gravy and adding cheese curds for good measure. All those deep-fried French fries, cheese, and gravy are really not good for you…
Funnel Cakes
Ordering a funnel cake at a fair may sound like a delicious idea but you may pay a big price for that sweet treat. A small 6-inch funnel cake can contain around 15 grams of fat, but most carnival cakes are much, much bigger than this! But what would you expect from a plate of fried batter topped with sugar?
Ice Cream
You probably know that ice cream is high in sugar and fat. Not only is the cream used to make ice cream fatty, but all those mixed-in additions are quite awful. Some Ben & Jerry’s ice cream has 33 grams of fat! Maybe that is why it tastes so good.
Cheeseburgers
Eat a ½ pound cheeseburger made with 80/20 beef and you will be eating about 45 grams of fat. That isn’t even counting the cheese piled on top! A cheeseburger is extremely unhealthy, especially if you are trying to limit your fat intake. Don’t even think about a bacon cheeseburger…that is even worse!
Pork Sausage
Pork sausage is made using pork shoulder, one of the fattiest cuts of pork possible. Some sausages contain up to 26% fat which is very high. You may want to think twice before eating that sausage dinner.
Foie Gras
Foie gras is pretty much a piece of fat on a plate. It is literally the fatty liver of a duck or goose. A 3.5-ounce portion of foie gras has around 44 grams of fat. That means the whole food clocks in at about 45% fat! That is way too high!
Nuts
Nuts may be tasty, but they are also very fatty. Just 24 little almonds have 14 grams of fat. However, most of the fat in nuts is considered to be healthy. This is one fat you can feel good about eating!
Bacon
A slice of crispy bacon is so good—we won’t deny that! But for every 100 grams of bacon you eat, you will also consume about 13 grams of saturated fat.
Khachapuri
If you are ever in the country of Georgia, do not order khachapuri. It is simply a bread bowl, filled with cheese, topped with an egg and a thick pad of butter for good luck. Yes, this sounds kind of yummy, but it also sounds like the fattyest food ever!
