Is it wrong that I'm actually excited about the new 250 calorie Egg McMuffin?
I'm one of those people who think its Ok to eat just about anything as long as you
Log the calories, excercise, and take a daily vitimin.

    I think its wrong, have you ever really searched online to what is in those things. I know in our own household if you do it you know its just the english muffin and the egg, but I worked for Mcdonalds and believe me nothing they serve should be eaten by any human. Its all chemical and non real food riddled. But that's me :)

    But I do agree with your statement of eating, exercise and logging is awesome

    Throw it in the pantry and let it sit for a month. Take it out, it'll be as fresh as the day it went in! :D

    If you are what you eat, you should live to be at least 100 years old!

    What is "wrong" is determined by an individual's personal health goals. You are going to get different answers from different people. You should decide what are changes you can live with and those you can't and then stick to your own guns. =)

    {{shivers}} --- Use to love McDonals but don't know what's in that so best to stay away! If you cut out coke & fast food... pounds just come off. Go to subway instead :laugh:

    No, it isn't wrong at all. Enjoy it while you can. It doesn't always last.

    Sometimes, some of us need to get downright picky about where the calories come from. Sad but true. Do what works for you.

    ...but count me as one who is not at all sure McD's actually qualifies as food. lol...

    Please. Are you going to tell the eggs that they crack and scramble don't come from chickens? Elaborate.

    While McDonald's isn't the best choice for many, emphatic lies shouldn't be spread.

    not wrong for the calories and the content. i personally prefer the mcgriddle bacon egg and cheese.


    it's great if you're in a rush but i find that i can make similar at home for the same calories but way less sodium

    Who am I to tell you what's wrong or right? It's not what I choose to eat, but it's YOUR body and do whatever you please.

    To the OP, moderation eating is how many fit and lean people eat. Eating perfect doesn't always mean happiness which believe it or not counts towards good health.

    I think it's ok for you to eat whatever suits you. Really though no first world person should need a daily vitamin unless they have some health issues - real food has it all.

    But have you ever tried making your own McMuffin? I doubt mine come in with any less calories than that but I'm sure they're more awesome (well for me anyway).

    I'll eat the regular McMuffin guiltless. Only thing that bothers me with fast food is the sodium.

    This. I have no issues with egg yolks. There's only a 60 calorie difference.
