  Malaysia has the highest obesity rate in Southeast Asia and ranks sixth in Asia-Pacific region. Fast food that we eat isn't healthy for you. As we know that fast food is doing more than just expanding your waistline and it could be giving you a serious case of depression as well. Some of our Malaysian most favourite fast food are burgers, fries, fried chicken are on the list of fast or non-nutritional foods that contribute calories and effect our health. The fast food restaurant outlets keep increasing because of different kind of reason for popularity. The intake of this type of food should be controlled because there are lots of problems and issues associated with poor diets, not the least of which are health problems obesity, diabetes, cardiac disease, high blood pressure and an increased risk of stroke.

     Calories can be defined as potential energy for the body. In fact, anything we eat is considered to be potential energy for our body.

Fast food is one of the world’s fastest growing food types and the calories from the fast food Is higher than others food.

Burger ranked top with the highest 916 calories, fries with the 450 calories, fried chicken with 423 calories, ice-cream 267 calories and last is soft drink with 255 calories.

     The rising of fast food restaurant at Malaysia is one of the causes of fat because the more the fast food outlets the easier they get to it. Malaysia has many different kind of fast food restaurant and KFC, McDonald, A&W and Burger king is the top 4 fast food restaurant with the most outlets in Malaysia.

     Beside than the reason of the rising fast food restaurant we know that fast foods are quick, reasonably priced, and readily available alternatives to home cooked food. While convenient and economical for a busy lifestyle, fast foods are typically high in calories, fat, saturated fat, sugar, and salt. As per “the free dictionary” fast food is “inexpensive food, such as hamburgers and fried chicken, prepared and served quickly. There are top 5 reason for popularity which the top reason is they are quick with 92.3%, taste of food with 69.2%, inexpensive 63.6%, busy to cook 53.2% and last is type of food 20.6%.

     According to this report and based on my research, we can know that fast food causes a lot of negative effect for us especially our health because its contain high calories which will cause us fat, so less eat more healthy. Besides that we also know some fact about the fast food restaurant and some reason from popularity. I hope after this everyone should control their food habit and keep our body fit and healthy.
