Calorie & Sodium Overload

Like most fast food restaurants, the menu selections at KFC are loaded with calories, fat and sodium. Someone needs to quit focusing on taxing soda and put their efforts into getting rid of the salt shakers in America.

Salt is a chief contributor to high blood pressure and kidney disease. It can impact heart health as well as many other ills with no frills.

Yes - the food is very delicious at KFC. But on those rare occasions where we've dined there, the heavy sodium content was hard to swallow. The food is so over-salted. I mean...we're sitting there trying to enjoy our meal, yet all we can taste is salt rather than the chicken or biscuit or even the vegetables.

When we traveled to one of our son's wedding, we decided to stop at a KFC as food choices were very limited in the area where we traveled. We were starving. I had not eaten anything since lunch on the previous day.

We gobbled our food down - and I enjoyed ONE Original Chicken breast. That's it. So, we get a place to sleep over until the wedding, which was held on the following morning. We wake up and I look like a giant toad. Swollen beyond help at this point. It took about three days for the sodium bloat to rectify.

Example of High Calories & Sodium Content at KFC

One KFC Chicken & Biscuit Bowl contains 870 calories, 44 fat grams and 2,420 mg of sodium.

Expect to experience the classic symptoms of sodium overload when ordering the KFC Chicken and & Biscuit Bowl (bloating, water retention - not to mention that excess sodium can be hard on the heart).
