The Best (and Worst) Fast-Food French Fries

Worrying about calories seems silly after you've consented to a French fry grease-fest, but sometimes you can't help it. During one such conflicted experience, I wondered if some fast-food fries were less hard on the body than others. Looking at the nutritional facts of some common French fry purveyors, I found that you can, indeed, save some serious calories if you know which fries to buy.
I looked at these seven:
-Arby's Curly Fries -Burger King's French Fries
-Carl's Jr.'s Natural-Cut Fries
-Dairy Queen's French Fries
-Jack in the Box's Natural Cut Fries
-McDonald's French Fries
-Wendy's French Fries
Notes: The numbers below are estimated reports by each restaurant's official website at the time of this article.

Calorie-wise:
The Best
Dairy Queen wins with 2.69 calories/gram
Jack in the Box is close behind with 2.71 calories/gram
The Worst
McDonald's it is, with 3.25 calories/gram

  1. French Fries are now cooked with light oil at Mc Donald's in France. I don't know if it is the same worldwide.
