10. Subway

Average Kids' Meal Calorie Count: 372 calories

Healthiest Meal: 345 calories
Veggie Delite sandwich, apples, low-fat milk

Unhealthiest Meal: 395 calories
Roast beef sandwich, apples, low-fat milk

Considering their health-conscious

reputation, it's no surprise Subway has the healthiest kids' menu on this list. Their meals include a three-inch sandwich, apples, and milk. However, a corporate representative explained that some franchises will allow you to sub in chips or a soft drink.

Healthiest Meal: 350 calories
Chicken tenders, apple fries, and low-fat milk

Unhealthiest Meal: 430 calories
Hamburger, apple fries, and apple juice

Burger King is not taking its healthy

makeover lightly. It's the only chain on this list that extended its initiative to its breakfast menu. In addition to the breakfast sandwich meal, options include either chicken tenders or a hamburger with apple fries and apple juice or milk. It does seem curious that the only place on Burger King's website to get a detailed description of its kids' meals is on their secondary Club BK site, one targeted at kids.

Healthiest Meal: 360 calories
Crunchy taco, cinnamon twists, and juice

Unhealthiest Meal: 580 calories
Bean burrito, cinnamon twists, and juice

Taco Bell's menu is full of surprises — the bean burrito (traditionally considered a

healthy choice) is the heaviest main component, and crunchy tacos have fewer calories than soft tacos. All options include a side of crunchy cinnamon twists and a juice box.

Chicken strip, low-fat milk, and a fruit cup

Unhealthiest Meal: 660 calories
Chicken nuggets, low-fat chocolate milk, and fries

One of Chick-fil-A's meal options includes

a single measly chicken strip as the main component. What's that all about? That's a meal? That said, calorie-wise, it's interesting to note the difference a few nuggets and a serving of fries make.

Average Kids' Meal Calorie Count: 446 calories

Healthiest Meal: 280 calories
Chicken strips, string cheese, corn, and a Capri Sun

Unhealthiest Meal: 663 calories
Popcorn chicken, string cheese, potato wedges, soda

Kids' meals at KFC are characterized by their quantity. Without doubt, this menu offers the largest combos, but not the heaviest on average. There are also a lot of choices, beginning with either a drumstick (grilled, original recipe, or extra crispy), strips, or popcorn chicken follwed by a choice of a small side, string cheese, and a drink.

Average Kids' Meal Calorie Count: 502 calories

Healthiest Meal: 283 calories
Chicken nuggets, apples, and a soft drink

Unhealthiest Meal: 623 calories
Chicken sandwich, fries, and a soft drink

The options available on the Wendy's kids' menu are pretty standard — the main

choices are nuggets, a hamburger, or a cheeseburger along with either apples or fries. The real variety comes with the drinks; kids can choose from a wide variety of soft drinks or go for milk or a classic vanilla or chocolate Frosty instead.

Cheeseburger, French fries, and chocolate milk

McDonald's made headlines this week after announcing the details of its revamped kids' menu. The new and improved meals include either chicken nuggets, a hamburger, or a cheeseburger along with a choice of fries or apple dippers and low-fat milk, juice, or a small soft drink.

3. Sonic Drive-In

3. Sonic Drive-I...

Average Kids' Meal Calorie Count: 556 calories

Healthiest Meal: 410 calories
Chicken strips, apples, and juice

Unhealthiest Meal: 740 calories
Grilled cheese, French fries, and chocolate milk

When looking at a kids' menu that boasts

options like corn dogs and cheeseburgers it's hard to believe the most gut-busting meal features grilled cheese. The real culprits here are the thick-sliced pieces of Texas toast that Sonic uses to make sandwiches. Equally surprising is that when it comes to choosing a side, an order of fries has 70 more calories than the same size order of tater tots (did you know that!).

Cheesy toasted cheese sandwich, cookie, and soda

The meal options for kids at Quizno's

include a combination of toasted sandwiches with cheese, ham, and turkey along with either chips or a cookie and a soft drink.

Healthiest Meal: 603 calories
Chicken strips, applesauce, soda, and ice cream cone

Unhealthiest Meal: 883 calories
Cheeseburger, fries, soda, and a Dilly bar

OK, so maybe it's not surprising that a chain known best for its ice cream has this

list's most unhealthy kids' menu. The meals begin with a choice of chicken strips, hamburger, cheeseburger, or hot dog followed by fries or applesauce, and soft drink. Of course, a true DQ feast would not be complete without dessert, so kids have a choice of either a Dilly bar, ice cream sandwich, or cone.
