It's a reduced carb menu option. It is a dumb idea from a "how do I loving eat this" standpoint, but nutritionally it's really not as awful as people make it out to be.

The Double Down is a honeypot for illogical thinking. If those ingredients were on a bun not too many people would have much of a problem with it. No bun means the sandwich leaks, though, and people find that somewhat distasteful. A Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese is worse by nearly every single measurable nutrition metric and KFC's other sandwich with two pieces of chicken, the Twister, is not really that much better. For some reason, though, people see the Double Down and lose all ability to think rationally about it.

Maybe I'm missing something, but how is it low-carb? It's breaded and deep-fried.

Also, my tummy hurts and I am crabby now.

People would have a problem with the Double Down if it was in a bun because either:

It's a buns with "cheese" and KFC jizz sauce in it

or

It's a bun with two lovely bits of garbage chicken, some "cheese" and KFC jizz sauce



Everything about KFC is the lowest on the totem pole of mass produced mass marketed fast food, and the Double Down is taking the worst parts of their food and slamming it into your mouth.

Sat Fat: 11g
Carbs:18g

It's fairly low carb for fast food.

E: Only like 11% of the calories come from carbs.

I had a double down when they first came out and your experience was similar. Eating one is so messy it makes you feel worse about your choice.

Okay, but ostensibly, the only reason you'd be concerned about your carb intake is if you, on the most basic level, thought it would improve your health. The Double Down is not good for you on every level; nutritionally, emotionally, spiritually. I just can't really see why they would bother offering a low-carb option. If anything, I suspect the fact that it has less carbs than, say, a bun, is an auxiliary benefit, not an intended consequence.

You should read the low carb thread from a few years ago in YLLS to figure out the mind set. People were literally eating beef fat out of cups because 'hey no carbs!'. Yeah, it's not good for you at all and not the way to do it but people get into this weird state of mind when doing low carb and eat all kinds of poo poo just because 'hey no carbs!'.

-sizzlechest is clearly insane
-dont eat a carb killed his/her dog by feeding it lowcarb
-TCM thinks doctors are part of some conspiracy
-someone said that there is literally no correlation between weightloss and exercise
-apparently calories do not matter at all as long as you don't ever eat bread
-a goon is literally about to die because of his hosed up cholestoral
-the mods have protected this thread from any perceived notions of trolling, going so far as to probate sexy posters like Smile who actually have dieted and exercised fairly successfully in the past because he offers different opinions
-every one of your spokes people seem to be overweight

Every time the words "bacon" "lard" "ground beef" or any mixture thereof are used in this thread are used you guys get really pumped up and weird and it's frightening. I'm frightened.

Also you guys seem to be in an eternal contest to make more hosed up and gross meals than the next guy and its revolting to the average poster.

Ugh, that 'healthy' burger. Iceberg lettuce seriously needs to be added to that bingo card, there are extremely few situations where it's more appropriate than something like romaine (and a salad shouldn't exist without at least spinach and arugula)

Yeah, they had like dangerously high cholesterol and the doctor wanted to put them on statins or something. Their response was to ask the thread and doctor shop instead of not eating literally pure fat for every meal because 'low carb is healthy!'

Or it could be a form of rabbit starvation.

Dr. Richardson, also, has remarked, “that when people have fed for a long time solely upon lean animal food, the desire for fat becomes so insatiable, that they can consume a large quantity of unmixed and even oily fat without nausea:” this appears to me a curious physiological fact.

There's a big difference between a fresh cut of meat that had its ends cut off seconds before being ground in a sanitized machine, and random $4/lb bulk-ground beef that was sitting on a store shelf for days. I like my steaks anywhere from rare to blue, but no way in hell am I getting a burger cooked any lighter than medium well
