Hello Myfitnesspals!

Today Living Social posted a deal for 5 Big Macs and 5 Large Fries for $13! SMH and people wonder why the US is the fattest country! Just because you get more doesn't mean it's better. I better not see any of myfitnesspals buying that deal!

Love ya!

    It's because of people choosing to overeat, not because of any sale McDonald's may be having.

    Why not? In moderation, no harm in consuming fast food.

    That's not a deal. Wendys 99 cent menu, that's a deal!

    I bought their other local deal for a cigar bar.

    McDonald's is probably healthier than sitting in a smoke-filled room.

    You can't eat a cigar, silly!

    Oh, but now they have Western BBQ Cheeseburgers which are the same as Rodeos, but the patty is a full ounce bigger! Freaking delicious.

    Out here, it's on the value menu. A small cheeseburger with a couple of onion rings and BBQ sauce.

    There are lots of us that have lost weight while not denying ourselves something tasty -- in moderation. Lots of folks fall off the wagon because they feel that they can never enjoy a little tastiness once in a while. It's not going to derail everything to eat some fast food once in a while.

    Stick it in the chit chat haha section then, not the nutrition section. Wtf.

    Well, I hope this post doesn't derail your weight loss by making you go out and buy those 5 Big Macs.

    Personally, I ate Burger King three times last week and I've still lost weight. It's about moderation and making the right choices, not depriving yourself so much that the word McDonald's sets triggers you to binge.

    Dude. The OP stated her opinion of McDonald's. Others are stating theirs. What's the problem?

    I am one of those people. Occasionally I can have fast food or anything else. Maybe it slows my weight loss, maybe it doesn't, but I will stick better to something if I am happy instead of feeling miserable and deprived.

    EEG, I am aware of your opinion of the fast food industry and I share pretty much all of your attitudes. However, I find this jokey sort of yum-yum posting insensitive on a forum where many members are in the fight of their lives. No one ever forced anyone to eat anything, I know, but maybe we can help rather than hinder.

    Sounds like a good deal to me, but what are my wife and kids supposed to eat?

    Just stay away from the ultimate bacon cheese burger..... I had one and gained 3 lbs from one burger. I kid you not!

    I saw that today. I don't deny myself fast food on occasion, I just account for it in my calorie tracker.
