They're awesome, and strangely enough the grilled one is essentially a perfect meal for me.

yeah halfway through i started wondering how much of a difference in carbs there was between breaded and grilled versions

Christ, I think I just gained 10 lbs just seeing a picture of that effin' thing.

doesn't it have like 10 times the fat and cholesterol of any other fast food item?

Its actually not that bad as far as fast food goes. Its right on par with a Big Mac. In fact a Big Mac with fries has more fat and calories than an entire double down.

Gah... I keep wanting to try one, despite the fact that something about KFC always makes me nauseous afterward.

Probably the fact that their chicken has bones in the wrong places? Yum: a spine in a breast piece. :wtfru:

I tried one a week or two ago and it really was pretty good. I felt like a fat ass just ordering one but it was pretty good.

Let's see...

Grilled Double Down
460 Calories
23g Fat
9g Saturated Fat
0 Trans fat
1430 Sodium
3 Carbs
1 Sugars
61 Protein

Considering I need about 40-60g a protein per meal, depending upon that meals timing I've gotta skip the carbs(trace carbs aside), the fat while high and mostly saturated, makes up the calories I need without the presence of carbs. Yep, I'd say it's almost ideal. The sodium is high, but then again most everything is. If I was preparing for a contest I'll just have boiled eggs or cold chicken/turkey, since I'm short the privilege of a microwave while at work.

The food I make and have at home is FAR superior in my dietary and nutritional needs, however the bottom line is when I need a quick meal on the road, there's not alot around I can get that suits my diet.
