    I have to go to McDonald's every Saturday morning for a meeting, I don't want to use my calories up there. And I also need more protein than McDonald's yogurt has, so seriously, I bring my own Greek yogurt, and just buy a ice tea (sometimes).

    I would probably do this... I have been known to even turn up to my in-laws for breakfast with my own food :)

    Before I was trying to get healthy I had never had one in my life. 19 years and never had a MD's breakfast lol. I decided to have the Big Breakfast with a Hash Brown and it was like heaven. I had one almost every Saturday morning before work.

    Like a lot of other people have suggested, try the oatmeal.


    I would also like to know why it is that you have to eat at Mcdonalds? Why can't you just have your breakfast before going out and just have a cup of tea, coffee or any other beverage when you are there?

    In the UK mcdonalds fries are vegan! The hashbrowns are vegetarian here too.

    But the safe option is porridge!

    ^^ I would do this. ^^

    What I am curious about is why people would want to have a meeting at a McDonald's in the first place. That is so strange to me for some reason, haha! I guess I still picture a kid-laden, noisy diner-style place. I haven't been to one in years, though. I heard that they are trying to make them more like cafes than playgrounds, though, so I guess that makes sense.

    The oatmeal is good and the most complicated thing the cashier makes! Got to get the oatmeal, the hot water, 3 shots of cream, stir stir stir. Then the apples must be added before the raisins, because the apples float, and the raisins will rest on top of them instead of sinking to the bottom. Presentation ftw

    Their coffee is also pretty darn tasty!

    Cool to hear that people know about the fruit and walnut salad! Worked there all summer and could count how many I served on two hands.

    When I worked there a little old dude would come in every morning with his newspaper and order a coffee, two apple pies, and the 3 for $1 cookies.

    I just did a quick search and apparently they are vegetarian-friendly in Canada too. I remember a news story a few years ago (because ours used to be fried in the beef fat as well), where a cashier mis-led a Hindu, and he became understandably furious that he consumed beef when he was told they were not cooked in it. Since then, I'm pretty sure, they've been vegetarian.

    Hi,

    From my understanding, they are not cooked in beef fat oil, but they are basted in beef fat in production and come that way in the frozen bags. So he was probably told correctly, that they are cooked in the restaurant in vegetable oil, but the poor employee did not know that they had beef fat. I had a vegetarian friend who worked there and she didn't know.
