McDonalds McWrap

If you're eating McDonald's every day, multiple times a day, yeah it is probably going to create some health problems. If you eat McDonald's once a month or even once a week, and eat sensibly the rest of the time, it is not going to kill you. People need to take responsibility for their own choices and not blame fast food or twinkies or soda or whatever for them getting fat.0

I think a lot of fast food is cheaper per calorie, but since we don't generally want that many calories anyway it's a false economy.
I saw these images going around tumblr and I was super skeptical because some of their veg and meat seemed really cheap. So I actually sat and went through all the calculations using the UK supermarket Tesco. Right enough, the UK food was more expensive- but so was the burger king. I worked out this meal at something around £22 for the BK and £19 for the Tesco shopping (sadly I don't have the picture on this computer to show you!). Only difference is it was frozen minced beef- not the best quality- because I really had no idea what that sausage-looking package of beef was like. But you could spend that £3 difference on better beef and you're still eating a lot healthier for the money.
I think I'll take my chances with mcdonalds or BK ground beef before I eat that concoction fake burger crap.0 -
I disagree with the statement that fast food is not cheaper than healthy food. Here in US - you can get two for one coupons, super-size free, coupons and discounts. I can feed a hungry group of kids for $12.00. Good luck filling then up on chicken, hummus, salad and veggies. Even good starches. All this will be at least $20.00 and then there are the leftovers and they are hungry in 2 hours and start to snack. Even adults, chicken, fish, lean meats are not cheap. Veggies are out of season and expensive here. The only cheap thing are dried beans and rice.
It costs more to eat healthy. That being said, you can always find good things to eat at fast food places. I agree if you compare these items on their menus to healthy food at home, it is probably just as costly. So... conclusion is... eating healthy is more expensive than junky.
not true. I can make a GINORMOUS pot of home made spaghetti that is $12 that will not only feed 5 hungry kids once, but twice with left overs. Gotta learn how to cook right. It may not be a perfectly healthy meal but i can make it with extra lean ground turkey meat and fresh tomatoes and sauce and whole wheat pasta and it'll be just fine.
They call me Miss Frugal, for a reason.0 -
I THINK I remember McDonalds. Isn't that the place with the double yellow arcs in front?0
-
What annoys me about this is that, fine, you're eating 'healthier', but what in the damn hell am I supposed to make using the ingredients they bought at the grocery store? Nothing goes together! There's no specific meal here, just generic, random 'healthy' items.

I recently saw an advertisement for the new McDonald's Chicken Wrap on Facebook. Before that, I read a nutritional review on the product and let's just say that out of everything in the wrap, the tomato & lettuce are the only items that are just that, the chicken alone is made up of over 20 ingredients!
A friend on FB "liked" the promo picture and someone commented "You're killing people with this food!" and it made me think: Is McDonald's and similar restaurants really killing people when it's our choice to eat there or not?

When you brine your chicken, what do you put in it?0 -
Of course McDonalds McCrap is killing you. It's all high-calorie processed food. But you try to tell people this and they label you a conspiracy nut. It's frustrating but whatever.0

YES!! I do this too! I'm making a pot roast today! The whole meal, meat, potatoes, carrots and onions cost about $20, BUT it will feed all 5 of us twice with some left over after that! And I buy good quality meat and veggies. You CAN make healthier food, cheaper than you can eat out. As for fruits and veggies being out of season... is that really true any more? There are so many foods imported that you can get anything at anytime. You just have to be careful about washing them. Or buy frozen...they are just as good and just as healthy.0 -
No. People need to take responsibility for their actions. No one is forcing them to eat at McDonalds or anywhere else...and if they are eating there...no one is forcing them to not make the healthiest choices because all these places DO indeed offer healthier options.0

I've had I think 7 McWraps in the past two weeks.
They are delicious and there is absolutely nothing in the world wrong with them. Last night I had a grilled chicken & bacon at 430 calories. The other day I had a crispy chicken & ranch at about 590 calories. They all fit into my macros for the day.
Yum!0 -
There are enough people on these very forums who all but promote this kind of garbage. It is NOT good for your body. I don't care what the "a calorie is a calorie" crowd says.0
-
Looked up the calories and nutritional content. The only way to eat the McWrap is grilled, w/out any sauce and extra lettuce and tomatoes (I always add pickles!!).
How do you count the calories after making the exchanges?
McDonald's has a really fantastic Meal Builder online that lets you completely customize any menu item. Gives you the full nutrition info for pretty much anything.0 -
Honestly, if you were to buy those same ingredients at the store(the wrap, ranch sauce, spring mix), they would most likely have the same ingredient list. The only thing that would be different is the chicken, depending on what cut you used.
Considering that, if you were to get it once or twice, would it kill you? No, probably not.
Even if you were to make it at home, it would be just as "processed" and "bad" for you. The only thing that would change is the amount of sodium, really.
that is blatantly untrue. there are many, many more whacked out ingredients in the McDs wrap/ranch/cheese/chicken than the foods you buy at the store. do you really want me to copy+paste the ingredients here and compare? better yet, do your own damn research.
Why so hostile?
Ranch dressing is going to have a long ingredient list, whether it's the NEWMAN'S OWN served at McDonald's or the NEWMAN'S OWN you buy at the grocery store. A tortilla is a tortilla. McDonald's magic tortilla making facility doesn't use flour made from ground up toxic waste. The ingredient list for the tortillas is the same as Mission.
And I'm pretty sure that the mixed greens aren't specially grown in polluted soils just for McDonald's. Have you ever seen a McDonald's owned farm? No because they don't exist. It wouldn't be cost effective. They buy their produce from major distributors.
The poster said the chicken is different. It's breaded and the breading and meat are loaded with sodium. Nobody is denying that.
You're so quick to hate fast food restaurants that you allow that hate and bias to cloud your judgment. I'm pretty sure you're a smart guy and recognize that bias influences rational thought.
How about this, divide up the calories in a McDonald's wrap. Compare them to the calories in the grocery store alternatives if you were to make it yourself? Are they that different? No. Why? Because they use the same things. And if you look at the long lists of ingredients in the tortilla, the dressing, etc., it will probably be the same length, with exceptions for the breaded chicken.0 -

Those prices are not realistic. On fact, maybe when I come home from the store later I will post the real prices on my own stores shelves. I wish someone would update that picture if it is going to becirculating.0 -

So is the coconut oil you eat, is that killing you?0 -
I wonder how many people even know what's in a McWrap/
The chicken & ranch McWrap has:
A regular tortilla, the same kind you get from the grocery
A lettuce mixture, the same kind you get from the grocery
Cucumbers (fresh, unprocessed, etc)
Tomatoes (fresh, unprocessed, etc)
A chicken patty (whole meat chicken breast, either grilled or breaded and fried)
Ranch sauce (the same kind you get from the grocery)
Shredded cheese (the same kind you get from the grocery)
This is pretty much 100% identical to what a normal human being would construct at home and consider healthy. But when it's from McDonald's people will throw a fit and call it "McCrap." Then there are people like Reddy who would call the one constructed at home crap, too. Most people aren't exactly on board with that level of food alarmism.0 -
Oh. lord. More alarmist bull****--and spectacularly bad arithmetic as well. Ignoring the fact that many of the ingredients are exactly what you'd reach for if you were making something like this from scratch at home (herbs, spices, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, flour, etc.), the same items are counted separately every single time they show up--so 9 of the 121 ingredients, for example, are "salt." The wrap uses both cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses, so basic cheese ingredients are counted twice--and McDonald's isn't doing anything weird to the cheese: the same mold-inhibitors and anti-caking ingredients are present in the stuff you buy at the grocery store.
Sure, ideally, we'd all be eating organic, locally-sourced, unprocessed foods so fresh that they don't need preservatives to be shipped around the country. We'd be making tortillas from scratch and distilling our own vinegar so we could control every step of our food production. But in truth, most of us don't. And most of these ingredients are in our pantries at home, so getting up in arms when seeing them in a fast-food wrap seems silly.
This is not specifically directed to the person I quoted just on the same topic
Not sure if everyone opened the link, but there were alot of products in the ingredients list that are not normal products you would use at home. The article bolded the bad things in each ingredient, in the chicken, ranch, and so forth. Hydrogenated oils are not good for you. I don't understand why chicken has an ingredient list of 30 things, I know when I make chicken, even breaded chicken, the most is about 5 to 6 ingredients, including breadcrumbs, spices and oil used.
quoted from article -
All told – 121 ingredients, including trans fats, chemicals on the FDA’s toxicity watchlist, and more
I know for myself I don't want to be eating stuff that has chemicals on the FDA's toxicity list. I don't think this is alarmist at all, this is gaining knowledge to understand better what you are putting in your mouth. I know a lot of people think that just because the government says this and this is safe doesn't mean it is. These things are not meant to be in the body and when you consume them in larger quantities can cause real damage down the road. It is always "it isn't harmful in moderation" - how is it moderation when more and more of this crap is in a lot of food people eat, even on a daily basis. Then it is no longer being consumed in moderation.
To each his own on what everyone chooses to eat but gaining knowledge to make better choices is a good thing, even if it means bashing McDonalds lol0 -
Oh good, another fast food is out to get ya post . . . I think that means it's time to go get some sun and hit the pool. :yawn:0

Do you live by a 99 Cents super store? My boyfriend and I purchased enough perfectly good groceries ( veggies, bread, cheese, eggs, milk, fruits; meats were purchased elsewhere) to feed four people for a little less than a month for less than forty dollars. I've only ever seen these stores in the western part of the country but you could check other dollar store types. The selections are quite basic but if you wanted more selection, use the savings to buy other options elsewhere.0 -

If you read my initial post I actually did price all this up as closely as I possibly could- I picked the cheapest items to make up to the closest in weight I could - some things were a little larger or smaller due to metric/imperial measures, but overall it was very even. I also used multiple smaller packets where that worked out cheaper. We can't buy anything by the gallon!
I was convinced this list was bogus, that's why I did it. This was using UK supermarket Tesco prices and it was all more expensive because we pay far more to import and far more tax than the US, but relative to each other, it worked out exactly the same results.
I look forward to seeing your list.0 -
sorry, but a 99 cent bag of woody broccoli stems is just not something my family will eat. But the point is, this picture is not about shopping at some bottom of the barrel store.

If you bought Mission tortillas, Kraft shredded cheese, and Kraft Ranch Dressing, and used some Mrs Dash to season the chicken, it would actually look almost identical.
And if I did that, and posted about it, no one would call it inedible crap or say I was killing myself.0 -
Right on.... There is no way McDonalds is killing anybody... They buy the same chicken breast we buy at the store. Do you think they have a specific supplier that grows and processes unhealthy chickens just for them???????
It's more the preservatives and the sodium, everything is premade as with many restaurant chains. So it's more how it's prepared, when you have a burger that looks the same years later, it isn't healthy!

I believe your serious.This is pretty much 100% identical to what a normal human being would construct at home and consider healthy.0
