    I saw on the best sellers list had more than like 5g **and those are things meant to be shared **

    Are you from the US? Nothing from the best sellers menu is meant to be shared.

    Whenever I go to Taco Bell, I usually eat a few different items from the menu. Just 1 soft taco is tiny. I might do a grilled cheese burrito (7g) and 2 doritos locos tacos (2 x 3g), total 13g. Or a mexican pizza (8g) and a chalupa (4g), total 12g. Or if I want to pretend to be healthy, I’ll get a cantina chicken bowl (10g).

    Compare that to when I go to McDonald’s, where a quarter pounder with cheese (or Royale With Cheese in France) just has 2g of fiber and that’s definitely one meal (still not meant to be shared). https://www.mcdonalds.com/us/en-us/product/quarter-pounder-with-cheese.html#accordion-c921f9207b-item-842cb18782

    Are both of these options terrible for me? Yes. Should I feel bad for eating portions that other countries consider are for two people? Probably! Am I waiting in a drive thru line right now? Absolutely!!
