- Sodium Content: Many items, especially sandwiches and hot dogs, are high in sodium, sometimes exceeding 70% of the recommended daily intake in one serving.
- Protein Power: The chicken Caesar salad and roast beef sandwich offer higher protein counts, which can be beneficial for those seeking to meet protein goals.
- Dessert Dilemma: Sweets like the double chocolate chunk cookie and sundaes are high in sugar and fat. Fruit-based smoothies and the acai smoothie are lighter alternatives.
