Worst Mall Food in America
Cinnabon Regular Caramel Pecanbun
1,100 calories 56 g fat (10 g saturated, 5 g trans) 47 g sugars 141 g carbohydrates
Cinnabon and malls are inseparable. Consider it a symbiotic relationship: Researchers have found that men are turned on by the smell of cinnamon rolls, and further studies have shown that men are more likely to spend money when they're thinking about sex. But just because Cinnabon might be good for Gap doesn't mean it's at all good for you. This dangerously bloated bun contains nearly an entire day's worth of fat and more than half of your daily allotment of calories. (For those keeping score that's as much as you'll find in 8 White Castle hamburgers).
Eat This Instead!
Cinnabon Stix
379 calories 21 g fat (6 g saturated, 4 g trans) 14 g sugars 41 g carbohydrates
Best Breakfast Sandwich
Panera Bread Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sandwich
380 calories 14 g fat (6 g saturated) 620 mg sodium
Researchers in Connecticut determined that, compared with people who ate bagels for breakfast, people who ate eggs consumed fewer calories throughout the rest of the day. The primary reason is protein, which digests slower than carbohydrates. This sandwich has 18 grams of the muscle-building, stomach-filling nutrient, so you can browse easier knowing your morning shopping spree won't turn into an afternoon eating binge.
Best Treat
Auntie Anne's Cinnamon Sugar Pretzel, no butter
380 calories 1 g fat 29 g sugars 400 mg sodium
Let's be clear: This is no health food. But by the standard set by the food court's oversize and oversweetened pastries (we're looking at you, Cinnabon), this bread knot's actually not so bad. The pretzel twisters will gladly bake you one without butter, which eliminates a quick 90 calories of pure fat and if you can manage to bring along a partner in crime, you can enjoy your treat for only 190 calories.
