!!WARNING!!: This is possibly the worst thing I have ever tasted. I don't even think my extra ingredients are to blame for this, it's just that blending a burger, fries, and soda produces a liquid I could not get myself to finish more than a little of. We should be grateful that official Soylent was designed for a neutral flavor, because a bad flavor, however cheap, would not sell if it tasted anything like this. Proceed at your own risk.
Is it possible to have a balanced diet based off of a large combo meal at Wendy's? I wanted to find out.
While you could just eat the burger and drink the extras, I like the completely unnecessary idea of soaking and blending the burger and fries with everything else to make a "Wendy's shake". Yum. I actually do plan on trying this some day because I want some photos of the process (for comedic value) and I'm just curious (and maybe a little masochistic).
Burger micronutrients are based off of an estimated 3 patties using data from http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/beef-products/6210/2 .
Fries micronutrients are based off of a very rough estimate using data from http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/vegetables-and-vegetable-products/2588/2 .
Omega 3/6 estimates were computed by attempting to find the amount of fat from Wendy's vegetable oil blend, which consists of soybean, corn, and cottonseed oils ( https://www.wendys.com/redesign/wendys/pdf/en_US_nutrition.pdf ). I somewhat randomly estimated 40% soybean, 40% corn, and 20% cottonseed, though I wouldn't be surprised if the soybean content is much higher. Either way, the end result is an absurd amount of omega 6. Unless you want to chug a bunch of fish oil, that ratio is not going to be good for you (that's not to imply that anything else about this recipe will be good for you).
Chloride and iodine estimations come from the assumption that a vast majority of the sodium in the burger and fries comes from iodized salt.
Substitute the root beer with your soda of choice and it'll probably have the same "nutritional" content.
