That's a single. Double is good, but still not as good as the Double Down. About 40g of protein I believe... Remove half the bun and it still tastes good, with around 20g carbs. Even better would be to remove the slice of evil they call "cheese" but then it won't taste as good...

If you just get the "burger" I dont think the Double Down should cause any sort of insulin spike which means that the fats that are in the burger should either get used as energy or get shit out.
This is putting this all into small words. If you still arent happy with this answer I'm sure either me or Skinnypupp could start using big words and quoting studies to get our point across.
The only thing that bothers me is the sodium content of the burger but again I doubt the Big Mac is much better.

It's about 1400 mg compared to 1000 on the big mac. Without bacon it would probably be under 700
But whatever, just drink more water.. Salt isn't nearly as bad as people have made it out to be, granted that you are healthy.

Hmm, looks like you can get it Grilled as well, which is definitely not too bad at all. Still sodium laden though.

Way more protein, WAY less carbs... Yup, it's not good enough for Canada! | Let's say you want a LOW FAT alternative to the above. Where do you go? SUBWAY of course!
A 6" won't do, you'll be hungry in 10 minutes. So we better get a footlong. Thankfully, Subway offers footlongs with LOW FAT!
Let's get a footlong Turkey Breast:
Calories: 570
Fat: 7
Saturated Fat: 1.5
Protein: 36
Carbohydrate: 95
Sodium: 1830
Enjoy your blood sugar spike! 
Yup, the Double Down is pure evil all right.

Very filling though, considering the chicken pieces were huge.

It's how our guts have developed in the last few million years, to eat meat and fat with a bit of roughage, rather than roughage and starch with a bit of fat.
If you take those fiber supplements, all you are doing is irritating the lining of your gut, causing it to flush out mucous and shit faster. That is not necessarily what you need to do to be healthy. People assume that you need to shit every day, and it has to be a large shit to be healthy. That is not true either.

Back on topic,
This double down sandwich is far different than eating two fresh chicken breasts with a slice of pork and some fine french cheese. You say it's better than eating a fast food burger, and I agree, but it really isn't saying much, looking at the big picture of available foods to eat. It really seems laughable to put the Double Down and healthy in the same sentence. (Double down, and not chicken, pork, and cheese)
