Ever since the fast food industry popped up on the market, it's been a popular food choice for Americans. Quick, easy, somewhat inexpensive, and best of all, no cooking involved, it's almost the perfect meal. Yet, with the obesity rate in the U.S. hovering near 42 percent, dining on fast food probably isn't something we should be partaking in too often and if we're opting for one of the more favorite selections – the cheeseburger – we're likely consuming more than we bargained for. Many of us don't pay too much attention to the nutritional info on popular fast-food cheeseburgers but we probably should.

The cheeseburger isn't exactly a healthy food and you won't encounter too many people who are watching their weight, or cholesterol, chomping on something called a Baconzilla – or if they do, they might regret it the next day. But just as with most popular fast foods, there can be a considerable gap between the highest-calorie and lowest-calorie examples. A basic McDonald's cheeseburger only contains 300 calories, about the same amount as a small sweetened yogurt with some granola. But once you start adding on extras, the calorie count skyrockets. (See what popular fast foods are the biggest calorie bombs.)

To identify the shocking calorie count of your favorite fast-food cheeseburgers, 24/7 Tempo reviewed nutritional information – including calories, fats, and sodium – on each U.S. fast-food chain's official website. We selected the cheeseburgers with the highest and lowest amount of calories offered by each chain. Only food items intended for consumption by one person were included, and computations cover only the burger and its garnishes, not a complete meal (for instance, with fries and a drink). Cheeseburgers on kids' menus were excluded. In a few cases, we included two high-calorie burgers for a chain because the one with the most calories is offered only regionally.
