McDonald's for lunch

ladyofivy

I had McDonald's for lunch today. My kids LOVE it, and although I've been avoiding it lately, today was a special day, so I took them there.

I got the chicken BLT sandwich, fries and a large sweet tea. I ate 1/3 of the sandwich and drank about a third of the tea, and had maybe 10 fries.

Literally, I finished consuming this stuff half an hour ago, and my stomach feels like a rock. I'll be sticking to the salads on the rare occasions that we go again.

I'm happy that #1 my body is rejecting McDonald's to begin with :laugh: and #2 that I can stop at a third of the meal.

Seriously, I feel sick to my stomach.

Hooray! I don't love McDonald's anymore!

Congratulations?! It sucks that your stomach doesn't feel right, but that's great that your stomach doesn't feel right.

Great job on the portion control!

I had a burger at an office lunch yesterday and felt the same way. :sick:


As for McDonalds...I love love love their Southwest Salad with Grilled Chicken.


Yay for you and your portion control!!!

I had the same problam a few weeks ago with Mickey D's. I guess it is a lesson that our bodies don't want that crap anymore after all the good things we have been feeding it.:drinker:

After reading "Fast Food Nation," I never had the stomach to go back to McDonalds. I highly recommend the book and the movie. Read the book before seeing the movie, because it makes a lot more sense.

I agree I had a double cheese burger and a diet coke for lunch yesterday. My stomach still doesn't feel right.

I am astounded by the calories and fat in one combo meal at Macdonalds a Big mac medium coke and medium frys are 1100 calories ! and half if not more your daily intake of fat and the level of sodium right out the window!
I work near the evil place and used to go there when I forgot my lunch ,,,, I never thought really how bad it was till I thought about going there once out of hunger..entered in medium combo meal on here and about fell out of my chair!
It would require a big workout to allow that meal. I just said forget it and looked up alternative healthy meals online found Wendy's you can get a Ultimate Chicken grill with small chilli and a diet coke and stick around 500 calories. But I must admit the Ultimate chicken grill is lacking flavour and looks disgusting compaired to the picture they have up. My favorite fast food seems to be Subway 6 inch chicken breast sub with everything light mayo and honey mustard woot!

Hooray! I do love McDonald's anymore!

I can't help it. I still love fast food.
I get a Big Mac (and remove the middle patty and bun, call it a Mini Mac ), a small dry and a diet soda. Round 700 cals or so. It's a splurge but I love it. Whaddya gonna do?

I don't crave it like I used to, but I still eat at Mickey D's on rare occasions. If I go there now, I get the kid's meal and only eat half the fries, unsweetened tea instead of soda. That way, I'm not tempted to overeat & then have to deal with tummy issues afterward! :noway:

LOVE the fruit and yogurt parfait.. LOVE IT..

I have to admit though, that even when I have the calories to eat there, I usually don't do it just b/c I know how bad it is... :grumble:

I DO, however, go and get an Egg McMuffin for breakfast every once and a while.. I toss out the top half of the muffin.. only 230 calories that way! it feels like a treat and SO yummy...

Strangely I can still eat a hamburger happy meal from Mc D's. I only get one once in a while but sometimes I just want some of those fries. If I get fries from anywhere else I just feel sick.

This is what I try to do as well. I stick with the kids meals. They're just fine. :-)
