    They claim their salad is only a handful of lettuce and other veggies, grilled chicken, and no cheese or dressing.

    Perhaps this is the salad.

    The only food worth eating at McD's are the hash browns. at 147 calories per, I could eat 10 a day and still lose.

    10 seems a bit excessive, though. I'm not above having 2 with an unsweetened iced tea for breakfast, though. Nom nom nom.

    And, OP, I'm not understanding your confusion. Weight loss is based on a simple balance of how much fuel you take in and how much fuel your body uses. If weight loss is the only thing you are looking at, then your body DGAF about bananas vs cheeseburgers. Now, you probably get some micronutrients (like vitamins) more effectively from your fruit and salad, and some macronutrients (fat and protein in particular) more effectively from a cheeseburger, but that's another level to consider past weight loss.

    Frankly, a cheeseburger and a salad with minimal dressing is probably your best bet both calorically and nutritionally, plus you are more likely to stay full longer with that meal.

    Unless you want ALL THE HASHBROWNS. Which is still what I'd pick. I swear, it's a good thing they don't sell those babies after 10am, I'd weigh 500 pounds.
    Sorry for the bad quote job; am on my phone right now.

    Hashbrown calories are potentially underestimated in the mcd menu cause it depends a lot on how well they're drained.

    Given how much oil I've squeezed out of them I wouldn't necessarily trust the 150 cal figure.

    On the other hand the (on average $0.50 locally) regular meat patty (1.6oz pre cooked, about 1.2oz cooked and about 90 to 100 Cal depending on whether you pat dry or not), is, I think, a much better deal :smiley:

    Mind you, plastic cheese and all, given it is the same price as a double hamburger I often take a mcdouble.

    Not sure what all this has to do with the coincidence of droping weight on the day you ate x y or z.

    So if I drop weight on a day I eat a snickers bar it is the Snickers bar that causes the drop?

    And when I gain weight when I eat an oh henry it is the culprit?

    What about when I lost weight eating a banana and gained eating apples?

    :confused:

    Hmm, wonder who it could be.

    I jumped from 6 points to 28 overnight.

    I didn't even get flagged in the "correction/mistake"thread. LOL

    Oh look, the flagging stopped after commenting about it. Imagine that.
    Not sure what abuse points are at this point, im still rather new to the site.
    I really didnt see anything wrong with the comments, some were pretty comical.

    There's a handy link to explain how the flagging system should be used: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10007789/flagged-content-reported-posts-warning-points

    Of course, I don't think anything in this thread counts as:

    ok.....

    i eat out all the time and lose weight. your point?

    well, i dont eat mcdonalds cause gross but whatever. LOL

    Fruit and salad made me gain weight. McDonald's made me loose weight. My point being this doesn't make sense

    Depending on how the salad is made, a salad can easily have more calories than a cheeseburger. If you aren't correctly logging what is in the salad, you may be eating more than you think.

    In a salad is lettuce tomatoes cucumber pepper spring onion beetroot wow that's more calories than a cheeseburger... don't know any low calorie foods anymore
    NO. The DRESSING is high calorie. If you only eat the vegetables that TINY salad is like 50 calories.

    Or if it has a bunch of cheese or bacon or whatever in it.

    Yes. Or that. But not the vegetables.
