Anyone know the nutrition stats for these? Can't find it anywhere on their website. I would think they wouldn't be too bad consider they are actual chicken. Just wondering :)

    Everything chicken at McDonalds is supposed to be actual chicken. Doesn't necessarily make it healthy :/

    I normally get seared chicken snack wraps but I wanted to compare P/C/F ratios to the mcbites. Nothing on their website that I can see? Maybe cause they are promotional? Still should be there I would have thought.

    OK OK OK... Seriously, let those who have never sin cast the first stone!!! Macca's (Mc'D's, Mickey D's etc etc) may not be the BEST alternative but not everyone is a 100% clean eater. I know that I have stopped by occassionally (I have children and with that comes a crammed schedule) amongst other fast food places. The best one can do is make the "healthiest" choice and while it's no substitute for home cooked stuff, the occassional is OK.

    Yes it's probably coz they're a promo mate. If they go OK they will add them to the nutrition menu. The best I can suggest is using popcorn chicken from another franchise (KFC?) as a guide. They don't have em' over here (in the U.S).

    Good luck.

    wow, if it's anything like popcorn chicken I think I'll just stick to my snack wraps! 550cals for 160g, 35g fat!

    They'll be super high in sodium, and if they're deep fried (which I assume they are) then they're going to be incredibly high in fat too. Popcorn chicken is probably the closest thing for comparisons sake.
    And just for the record - Supersize Me is filmed in the USA, where their food laws (especially pertaining to chicken 'meat') vastly differs from ours. In Australia, we don't use hormones in our chicken & McD's uses 100% breast meat, so you're not getting all the nasty extras (feet etc) that the USA McD's is/was serving.
    I also don't eat chicken or red meat and strongly dislike McDonalds, but the truth is the truth.
