HOLY CALORIES BATMAN!!!

Hubby just brought home a McD's for himself. Out of interest I totted up what he had eaten and blooming heck 1190kcalories in 1 meal. That's only 10 under what I'm allowed in a day not adding on the full fat coke he had too. We used to eat that plus more ... :sick:

I had a bite of his apple pie and it tasted gross.

I think I may have cured myself of the golden arches obsession. I'm not saying I will never ever go back there but at least I'll know to have a happy meal or something instead of the mountain of crap I used to.

No wonder I'm such a fat pie! I shall happily eat my chicken pasta salad for dinner tonight with no grumbles!!

I still love McDonald's. I never go there...well...that's not true. After a night out with the girls, if I've had enough alcohol, I CRAVE McDonald's. It's the best thing after I've been drinking LOL.

Oh, now I want some nuggets!

But I won't have them. Haha - can't spend the money anyway.

What did your husband say when you told him how many calories, (and fat and carbs) he had eaten? Or is he one of those disgusting men who can eat and not put on weight? Oh, to be 5 inches taller!!

No more drive through!!! hahahahahhahhahaaaaa, I did WALK in last w/e though..... Had a McDouble for 340 cal's I think...... But yeah, used to go SEVERAL times a week, NOT good!!! :grumble:

I used to go to fast food restaurants at least twice a week. Then I realized for the same money I could cook a really good meal at home. So now I only go out to eat at nice restaurants (about once every two weeks) and cook at home the rest of the time. I get to control how much butter, salt, etc. goes into my food, and I have leftovers for lunch the next day. When I buy more expensive ingredients (like asparagus), per serving it is only a few cents more expensive than buying fries at McDs. And I've discovered I enjoy cooking.

On the rare occasion that I do get fast food, I tend to stick to the dollar menu- the portions are smaller, so it's not horrible in the calorie department. I still don't eat out at fast food places that often, though- all that grease makes me sick.

yeah the calories in one of those meals is just crazy.

Oh dear Vonzo,

I had kind of the same shocker after I added up how many calories I used to eat with our favourite Indian take away every Friday night.
It came to 2800 calories in just one meal, this doesnt include the breakfast and lunch I had that day.
The fact that 1 serving of Chicken Korma in a restuarant has 800 calories totally blew my mind. :noway:

Since then I can happily watch my boyfriend eat his usual Indian while I have some rice and a samosa or a few chicken tikka pieces. Doesnt taste as good, but then the famous quote says "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels."

As for MacD I only ever eat chicken nuggets and small fries or one of their salads there now.
BigMac is no longer my favourite meal there after I checked the nutritional stats. :sad:
