    If you're gonna do McDonald's, do it right.

    Quarter pounder with a side of chicken nuggets and a chocolate milkshake.

    I love their salads!

    Even the worst one, the southwestern with crispy chicken, and 2 southwestern dressings, 650 calories!

    The same salad with 2 balsamic dressings, 500 calories!

    But I love to drown my salad in dressing!

    Get grilled chicken, and the calories are even lower!

    They're huge and very filling!

    Don't even try to hate on that.

    but you could easily make your own at home, probably cheaper - and you know everything that'll be in it, so it'll be better for you! :)

    Well, yes, of course you could - but that doesnt help if you are getting a quick lunch on your break at work or while travelling or meeting up with friends or on a shopping trip etc.

    Its good to know which are the healthier options to fit in with your real lifestyle - and that might not always mean preparing food at home.

    It really is incredibly filling, but I eat like an animal. So one is probably right for most people and will easily fit in their calorie budget.

    I usually have the grilled chicken caesar salad with low fat Italian dressing. It's like 240 calories total.

    I couldn't take the fat in any burger personally... or 780 calories for lunch lol.

    Cheeseburger Happy Meal 415 calories

    I added in a hot caramel sundae for another 340 calories the last time. It was good!

    Does nobody care about all that fat?

    As long as you don't overdo the meat fat isn't too big of a deal, and of course anything fried or any heavy sauces (ranch, mayo, etc.) will have a lot of fat too.

    I usually cook for myself, but sometimes it's not an option. For instance....I drove 10+ hours the other day. McDonalds is convenient and they're everywhere.

    I just like to show that you can find healthy choices almost everywhere.

    And on occasion, after a night of drinking, my usual order of 10 McDoubles and 10 McChickens are taking a McTrip into my tummy.

    Try the new McWraps, especially the Sweet Chili with grilled chicken. It only has 360 calories and is like a meal in itself. The wrap weighs as much as a double quarter pounder but is loaded with shredded lettuce, spring mix and cucumber and a whole chicken breast filet.
