SOURCES YOU ARE WHAT
One of the major complaints I
have about the food served at UNC
Charlotte is that the healthy foods (if any)
are hidden and the unhealthy garbage we
are provided is plastered everywhere.
This is where I step in.
In this brochure, I am breaking
down exactly what you are eating at some
of the hotspots on campus. As students, I
believe we have a blind eye to what we
consume.
We have so many other things to
worry about when it comes to college that
we spend little to no time concentrating
on our health and well being. My goal is
not to make you feel bad about your
choices but to educate you on something
that impacts you on a daily basis.

 Facts About Food Off
Campus
Proportionally, hash browns at
Wendys have more fat and
calories than a cheeseburger or
Big Mac.
There are more than 300,000
fast food restaurants in the U.S.
alone.
Burger Kings Triple Whopper
with cheese has an amazing
1,230 calories. Hardies Monster
Thickburger has 1,420 calories.
Carls Jr.s Double Six
hamburger has 1,520 calories
and 111 grams of fat. Most
people need only 44-66 grams of
fat per day, and most of them
should come from sources like
nuts, fish, and olive oil.
LET ME BREAK IT DOWN
Living in a generation where technology is at the forefront of our minds, we as millennials have yet to
tweet, instagram, pin or like the harmful effects fast food has on our bodies. In the chart below, I
highlight on the ugly truth of three fast food restaurants on the campus of UNC Charlotte.
