Taco Bell has recently introduced a new, energy laden menu item…the XXL Chalupa. Taco Bell now joins the ranks of other fast food proprietors who have adopted that attitude that “bigger is better” or the more “calories the tastier the option.” For example, this summer Burger King introduced the 2,500 calorie Pizza Burger and KFC has the 540 calorie Double Down fried chicken sandwich. These items have several things in common, they all lack nutritional value based on daily dietary standards and they are all extremely high in calories. Did we mention they are all high in calories?
The XXL Chalupa Breakdown:
A huge Chalupa shell that looks like a deep-fried canoe, packed with seasoned ground beef (low sodium these days), lettuce, fiesta salsa, a blend of three cheeses — cheddar, pepper jack and mozzarella — nacho cheese sauce, red tortilla-chip strips and reduced-fat sour cream.
Total calories: 650. Fat grams: 39. Dietary fiber: 7. Carbs: 53.
Instead, to satisfy for Taco Bell craving enjoy two Fresco Style Crunchy Tacos (150 calories each) and Mexican Rice (130 calories per 3 oz serving) which will only cost you 430 calories from your daily supply.
