Is McDonald's meal really that bad?

maxxlina · 05-15-2002, 11:48 AM

When I only have 15 min for lunch, I usually go for McDonald's meal. Are they really that bad? McChicken meal looks good. I was wondering what's the total calories in McChicken meal(with middium fries and soda.)?

Hi maxxlina! welcome!

For basic nutritional info, refer to the sticky:'fat loss tips' by w8. If I'm in a pinch and have to eat McD's I usually get the chicken ceasar salad with a lil' dressing.

hi there - do you meal the mcgrill? (the grilled chicken sandwich?)

here's the info:

Yes, McDonalds is pretty bad. However depending on what you get, you can significantly cut the fat. For instance get a regular hamburger then a cheese burger.

nikegurl · 05-15-2002, 01:30 PM

true - but not too much fat in 1 hamburger there but also not much protein either. won't kill you but seriously - it's crap food.

there are choices that are much worse then others on their menu but none are really good choices - especially as a usual thing.

If you have to eat that shit, get a burger & salad, lose the bun and dressing unless it's plain oil&vinegar!

McDonald's is great if you like a lot fat, salt and sugar!

This is a fact: McDonald's is the world's largest consumer of cow eyeballs. That's right, cow eyeballs.

Sure it's 100% beef. They just don't advertise what parts...

i see.

So does that mean ....

McDonald's = 'Fear Factor' ??

maxxlina · 05-15-2002, 11:46 PM

I will do my best to avoid McDonald now. Maybe once a month.

MacDonald's = full of trans-fats and hydrogenated fats.

Nasty stuff.

It does taste nice though, so once every blue moon for a treat is fine.

Why don't you make your lunch the night before and take it with you?

By the way, what job only has a 15 minute lunch break?
