McDonalds.....Don't Eat the Food!

[MossRoad]

All kidding aside, if you eat sensibly and don't super-size your meals, you can eat fairly healthy at McDonalds.

Oh, I see. It is health food at the golden arches. My mistake.

Not health food.....this guy just had diarrhea for 90 days......of course he lost weight.

Agree........in fact.....they will soon offer side salad, fruit, or veggies as substitutes for fries........and pamphlets explaining to Americans what those things are.:thumbsup:

You are kidding right! You must not get your information from McDonald's they already tell the employees not to eat there. Have you been watching those Happy Happy Happy Meal commercials?

A reminder of what the McDonald's site said:
"Fast foods are quick, reasonably priced, and readily available alternatives to home cooking. While convenient and economical for a busy lifestyle, fast foods are typically high in calories, fat, saturated fat, sugar, and salt and may put people at risk for becoming overweight." "In general, people with high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease must be very careful about choosing fast food because of its high fat, salt, and sugar levels."

I think getting dizzy from drinking whiskey is normal. Getting dizzy from eating a hamburger is not normal. Maybe I am old fashioned.

Try marinating the burger in Jack Daniels for 30 to 60 minutes before grilling. (NOTE: grill on low heat and be prepared for them to flare when they first hit the grill.)

As I've mentioned before, my typical McDonald's lunch is a $1.00 McChicken sandwich, a $1.00 side salad and a $1.00 beverage. I cut up the chicken patty from the sandwich onto the salad, only use half the dressing, and stick with one pop, trying not to get the free refills. $3.35 after tax and not that bad for you, either. Their premium salads are pretty good, too, as you can get them with grilled chicken. If you don't drown it in dressing, its actually a very nutritious meal. :licking:

Or, you can get grilled chicken snack wraps. Hold the sauce. Get a honey packet from the nuggets instead. Pretty tasty!

they have a low cal or fat free / reduced fat dressing option.

many places do. zaxby's, chick fil a, and wendy's.

i go thru zaxbys, get a grilled chix salad, tell them to hold the cheese, toast and crutons and fried onions, and get the fat free rasperry vinagrette dressing.. 35cal per pouch.. use 1 pouch.. good lunch.. that and an unsweet tea, or a coke zero if you have to have a soda.. etc.

No such thing as health food. Healthy means you are not sick or injured. McDonald's is not going to injure you or make you sick. HS
