McDonald's McRib (boneless pork drowned in barbeque sauce) sandwich has had two "farewell tours" since its inception in 1981. Much like Barbra Streisand and Jay-Z, though, the retirement was soon followed by a comeback -- its most recent (number three!) taking place a few weeks back.
Unfortunately, the McRib's nutritional figures aren't much cause for celebration. Each sandwich provides:
490 calories
25 grams total fat (38% of the recommendation for a 2,000 calorie-a-day diet)
8 grams saturated fat (40% of the maximum established limit for everyone)
1,040 milligrams sodium (45% of the maximum established limit for everyone)
Despite those big numbers, the McRib falls way short on its fiber contribution -- a mere two grams.
