Avoid the Double, Triple and Crispy</STRONG><BR />While you’re standing in line, apply a common sense approach by avoiding a few key words.  Those are “double,” “triple,” “crispy,” “deluxe” and “fried.” For example, at McDonald’s, the double Quarter Pounder with cheese (the highest-calorie sandwich on the McDonald’s menu at 740 calories), double cheeseburger (440 calories) and McDouble (390 calories) are obviously heavier versions of a regular hamburger (250 calories).</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/527FF94C-5942-4182-B59D-E732465077CB/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
