COLOR CODE Items colored blue are Burger King Items colored red are Wendy’s Items colored yellow are McDonald’s READING THE CHARTS Nutritional data is expressed through radar charts, with the inner circle representing half of the recommended daily intake for the given indicator, and the outer circle representing 100% of recommended daily intake. The menu item’s nutritional values are expressed by edges of a polygon being plotted on the spoke for the corresponding indicator; each spoke represents a different nutritional indicator. KEY Cal .................. Calories TF ................... Total Fat SF ................... Saturated Fat Chol ................ Cholesterol Na ................... Cholesterol C .....................

Protein Outer rim: represents 100% of recommended daily intake Menu item name Inner rim: represents 50% of recommended daily intake Polygon: represents menu items’ nutrional value. Spoke (in this case, for Total Fat, as a percentage of recommended daily intake.) Prt DF C Na Chol SF TF Cal Bacon Deluxe Single CALCULATION Using nutritional data available for downloading on Wendy’s, McDonald’s and Burger King’s websites, individual nutritional indicators were compared to their respective recommended dailt intake values. In turn, an index was created for all values, being a percentage of each value compared to the recommended daily intake value. EXAMPLE Using the Bacon Deluxe Single as an example, this is how the index represented by the polygon was calculated.

CALCULATIONUsing nutritional data available for downloading on Wendy’s, McDonald’s and Burger King’s websites, individual nutritional indicators were compared to their respective recommended dailt intake values. In turn, an index was created for all values, being a percentage of each value compared to the recommended daily intake value.
EXAMPLEUsing the Bacon Deluxe Single as an example, this is how the index represented by the polygon was calculated.
