Why these items climb so high
The highest-calorie item is Mini Caramel Waffles at 787 kcal, 39% of the 2,000 kcal Reference Intake. The big numbers come from portion size, frying and breading, cheese and creamy sauces, and in drinks from sugar, whole milk and whipped cream.
Drinks are easy to forget: Mummy Frappuccino makes the list with 477 kcal.
Putting the numbers in context
A 2,000 kcal day split over three meals is about 650 kcal each. If you order something from this list, you can share it, skip the side or the sweet drink, or eat lighter for the rest of the day.
