About the fast-food chain rankings
Price monitoring website Pricelisto took a closer look at popular fast food chain restaurants, specifically their top five most popular menu items. According to KHOU 11, elements like total fat, sugar, protein, sodium, fiber and carbohydrates were used to calculate scores.
All 20 chain restaurants that were included in the study were ranked with a score out of 100. Though none came close to 100, some certainly fared better than others.

1. Chipotle
This Mexican grill snagged the top spot with a score of 66.71. Their items contain 320 calories on average, with 0.67 total fat and 11.7 mg of sodium per 100 calories.
The restaurant prides itself on using only “53 ingredients you can pronounce” and is big on local and organic produce, so it’s easy to see why it scored so high. Some of the most popular items according to the Pricelisto website? The guacamole, queso blanco and chips with tomatillo-red chili salsa.
