The 71,488-calorie dish definitely isn't for dieters; it features 15 Big Macs from [McDonald's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spicy-mac-and-cheese-burger), 15 Baconators from [Wendy's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheddar-cheese-bun), 15 Teen Burgers from A&W and a whole lot of bacon, cheese, onion rings, [Jack Daniel's Meat Sauce](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-smashed-jack-burger) and Big Mac Sauce. All that fast food goodness isn't without its fat, of course; Foodista reports that Fast Food Lasagna has a whopping 5,463 grams of fat. (Most people should consume between 44 and 78 grams of fat a day.) If you aren't afraid of the high toll on your body this calorie-laden dish will take, watch the video to see how to make your own at home. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/humor) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Extreme Calorie Dishes:** There is a growing trend of creating and consuming extremely calorie-dense meals like the 71,488-calorie pasta. - **Fast Food Mashups:** The popularity of combining fast food items to create unique dishes like Fast Food Lasagna is on the rise. - **Homemade Food Challenges:** More people are taking on the challenge of recreating outrageous food creations seen online in the comfort of their own homes. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fast Food:** Major fast food chains have an opportunity to cater to the demand for extreme calorie dishes by collaborating with creators or introducing limited-time promotional items. - **Youtube and Social Media:** Platforms like YouTube and social media networks can capitalize on the popularity of fast food mashups and homemade food challenges by featuring content and collaborations that showcase these trends. - **Health and Wellness:** Health and wellness industries can highlight the negative effects of such extreme calorie intake, raising awareness and providing alternatives to promote healthier eating habits. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Lasagna-Centric Menu Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lasagna-fest.md) - [Mammoth Milestone-Celebrating Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/125-lb-fatburger.md) - [Protein-Packed Macaroni Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/protein-mac-cheese.md) - [TV Diner-Style Lasagnas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/four-cheese-lasagna-tv-dinner.md) - [Cheesy Double Decker Lasagnas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheesy-double-stack-lasagna.md) - [Cheesy Macaroni-Topped Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smac-cheese-burger.md) - [Macaroni and Cheese Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scorchin-hot-mac-cheese.md) - [Gourmet Macaroni Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mac-cheese-frozen-ready-meals.md) - [Affordable Low-Calorie QSR Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fazoli.md)
