Best McDonald's options....

Pangea250

My daughter's school is having a fundraiser tonight at McDonald's. I'll be taking her down there in about 20 minutes. I don't *have* to have McDonald's, but if there are any decent options, I'll do it. Are there any?

I always do a grilled chicken salad if I "have" to eat at a fast food place. Just watch the toppings and dressings.

Classalete

The black coffee..and that's about it.

Hahah, in all seriousness...If you're in a pinch, I would go with whatever contained grilled chicken in as small of a portion as possible.

Whenever I end up there, I will get a salad, be easy on the dressing. OR a fruit and yogurt parfait. Not sure if they still have it, but they used to have a fruit and walnut salad as well.

Small hamburger?

Small hamburger?

Get a kids' meal and get the healthy sides/drink.

A salad with grilled chicken is a good option. I usually get the bacon ranch and use half of the dressing.

Grilled chicken snack wraps - I had a honey mustard one the other day and thought it was really good. Something like 250 calories, I believe.

Sometimes McDonald's and Burger Kings are right across the street from each other. If so, you can walk across the street and get a Whopper. Much tastier than Mickey D's.

McRib is back in season. I heard they are quite tasty!

PBmaria

Oatmeal! It's yum and fairly low-cal if you skip the brown sugar

UponThisRock

grilled chicken sandwich, no mayo

fatguyweightloss

Anything not breaded/fried without the bun. Usually end up with double cheeseburger or Quarter Pounder (Double if I didn't get around to eating much today)

I was just going to suggest this

Hmm... McDonald's? Might be better just to eat the napkins.

I do a kids meal with chicken nuggets, apples, and water! If you are feeling wild and crazy, get the cheese burger!:happy:

I love the oatmeal.....even with the brown sugar if I can spare the calories...

Hamburger, side salad with vinaigrette. Less than 400 calories I think.

The grilled chicken sandwich, no mayo and take off the bottom bun (that's where all the grease settles). For a side, I'd either have the fruit and yogurt or a side salad with their Italian dressing.

Two packages of Ketchup

stanvoodoo

Grilled Chicken Wrap, tear off some the excess tortilla. Much better than the salad especially if you use all the dressing!

Enjoy, they are very tastey and will do in a pinch!!!

CaptainGordo

Grilled chicken wrap, hold the sauce. Shazam!

Just go to their website and look at the nutritional guide for options. If you budget your calories you should be able to have whatever you want. I had a medium Big Mac combo the other day and it didn't hurt my caloric intake at all because I counted them in before hand. You should never deprive yourself of anything, just eat in moderation

courtneywebb

Maybe a salad? Bring your own dressing tho, if you use their dressing you might as well just eat a cheeseburger lol

And get the boy's toy because they're cooler than the girl's toy!

If you ever read the ingredients of those nuggets you'll never want to touch them again.

Subjective. I know what's in them and eat them occasionally with no fear.
