Takeaways
Gillian's down with the greyhound fanciers at Walthamstow Stadium this week to test what they know about takeaways. This week's choices are:
  • McDonalds Quarter Pounder with cheese and medium fries
  • 3 slices of pizza
  • Indian takeaway meal

Takeaways
So which one will our punters put their money on as the one with the highest calorie count?
Takeaways
Whereas the takeaway with the highest number of calories was the pizza with a whopping 1056 calories. This is equivalent to two servings of lasagna with salad or eight slices of thin and crispy tomato and cheese pizza.
Takeaways
The overall result was:
  • 3 slices of pizza – 1056 calories
  • McDonalds Quarter pounder with cheese and regular fries – 840 calories
  • Indian takeaway – 626 calories

For alternatives the burger take a bite out of Wimpy Classic Burger with cheese at 385 calories, a McDonalds Fillet-o-fish at 360 calories or a Burger King Whopper Junior at 337 calories.
