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.

Is McDonald's meal really that bad?
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.)?

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.
Just Shut Up and LIFT.

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 want others to be happy, practice compassion.

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

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...It's not just a sport, it's a lifestyle!

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?Being held down by The Man
