    Pretty much any of their premium salads, with grilled chicken and no dressing will be tasty as well as decently filling. I uses to get the premium bacon ranch salad (I think that's what it's called) with the grilled chicken. If I was going home to eat it I'd use my dressings at home. If I was on the run with it, I'd use one of their BBQ sauce containers as the dressing. You don't even need the whole container if you shake it up really well.

    Just remember, the sodium level will be crazy on any of the choices, so drink plenty of water.

    do not be fooled and get one of there fruit and granole yogurts. those are awful for you. they are small and loaded with sugars. they mix sugar into the yogurt. i would suggest even getting a grilled schicken snack wrap with no dressing. getting a chicken sald is a good thing too. the put the dressing in a bag for you so you dont have to use it.

    Most of the time I get a cheeseburger (300 cal). If I'm a bit more hungry, I'll go for the grilled chicken club sandwich instead (530 cal). No fries. Diet Coke.

    Everything in McDonalds is really bad, especially the things that you think are not.

    Their website has nutritional values on of all the foods so you should be able to make good choices using that.

    Big Mac meal, medium, with diet coke. 820 calories. Not too bad if you work around it.

    Men's Health just had a McD's meal as a good breakfast. The egg McMuffin meal with hash browns and a coffee. Something like 430 total calories, plus the protein to help keep ya full!

    i have heard the egg mcmuffin is the best real food they have (not a salad or trying to be healthy type food)

    Yup, I'll occasionally pop in after my morning workout and have a bacon and egg McMuffin - 300 cals, good post-work-out protein, and tasty enough to feel like a treat. I limit that to once a fortnight. But it's certainly possible to eat there without ruining the whole day's calorie count.
