When you're short on time and heavy on hunger, hitting the drive-thru just seems like the logical choice. Grabbing a combo from your favorite fast-food restaurant is a cheap way to get you feeling full until you're able to get home.

Have you stopped to add up all the calories you consume when you get the combo #3? While each item may not seem like a lot, they certainly can add up to the point where you are consuming your entire days worth of calories in one meal.

Do that 3 times per day and you are eating over 3 times the recommended amount  of calories in one day.

Here are some of your favorite fast-food offenders for high calorie counts.
