Easter Sunday means bunnies and pigs—but you only eat one of them. Tired of cooking? The Daily Beast ranks the unhealthiest pork dishes from America’s sit-down chain restaurants.

Easter Sunday usually conjures up a few distinct images: chocolate bunnies, dyed eggs, and a big glazed ham at the center of the dinner table.

For families looking to avoid the work of putting together a full meal, but still hankering for a bit of the “other white meat,” The Daily Beast ranks the 13 unhealthiest pork dishes from sit-down chain restaurants across the country.

Our final ranking considers calories, saturated fat, sodium, and carbohydrates for each meal, with each nutritional category weighted equally.
