    Why do you have eat fast food? I'd go get a sandwich at Panera or Potbelly (love me a hot sammich!).

    I agree with this. Is it that you want to eat fast food or is that truly your only option?

    There’s nothing wrong with wanting to eat fast food.

    I didn’t know you could get a big mac around 400 cals by skipping the sauce. Noted…

    I don't think you can; a Quarter Pounder without cheese is 400 calories. Big Mac without sauce is around 468 calories. If you get the Big Mac without sauce and cheese you could do it - it's about the same as the quarter pounder without cheese.

    I have had Arby's on the brain, so I'm going to say a beef and cheddar sandwich for 450 cals. You can take the stairs to make up the rest.

    I'm with Arby's. Plain roast beef though, no cheddar.

    Agreed. It's the equivalent of Cheez Whiz anyway - not real cheese.

    why not?

    start a non fast food thread if it concerns you so much...

    I asked a simple question. Are you the fast food police or something? Chill!

    and I asked a simpler question "why not?"

    The OP said "you have to eat fast food." I travel often and that has never been an issue for me so I ask, why do you have to eat fast food? I didn't say there was anything wrong with eating fast food, if that's your thing. It's not mine and I've yet to be in a position where I "have to eat fast food."

    Well maybe fast food is the only option. I was once in a small town in Virginia on Labor Day and the ONLY places open were fast food joints or Appleby's. All the other places were closed for the holiday. Maybe budget requires fast food rather than sit down. Maybe location. The thread was soliciting fast food suggestions under 415 calories. It's not that puzzling or complicated...

    I guess some kind of burger then throw out the bun and just eat the meat? and water or diet soda. That's the only way I can think of to get the calories that "low" from fast food.

    You can eat a Big Mac without sauce/without cheese, or a Quarter Pounder without cheese, for 400 calories. With the bun, and with tomato, lettuce, ketchup, and onions.

    A Big Mac with no sauce or cheese is 390.

    I've never had a Big Mac. It's just 2 patties separated by another layer of bread, right? I'm trying to figure out how that is 30 calories lower than the Quarter Pounder with no cheese. The QP has more protein and fat and fewer carbs I guess. The patties must be different sizes. I thought that the BM used two QP patties.

    Big Mac patties are laughably small. So small I'm surprised they have that many calories

    Depends on what you are missing in your macros for the day. I once topped off my buckets with a king size snickers and an iced tea, and called it dinner. It was glorious.

    It also has lettuce, pickles, onions. :dizzy:

    Yes the big mac patties are a bit smaller than the qp patties...

    QPs have pickles, onions, mustard, and ketchup. I loathe shredded lettuce. It is probably my #1 most hated food, rivaled only by creamed corn.

    That is interesting that the Big Mac patties are so small. I thought they were big, hence the name Big Mac.

    Mc donalds fish burgers are approximately 350 calories in the UK. Similar to the calories in a pre packed sandwich.

    Hey a Whopper Jr. without mayo but with cheese is 280 calories. Take 40 off for the cheese and it's only 240 calories. (I hate fast food burger cheese...it's like melted plastic). A Whopper Jr without cheese and value size fries = 480 calories. Not too bad.
