    those dirty fast food chains.

    Oh lordy.
    even a 6 inch sandwich is much larger a portion than most people should eat

    Yeah, when I go to Subway and get a 6-inch double meat turkey sandwich for about 350 calories, I think "hot damn, this is more food than anyone should eat! 350 calories! I'm a glutton."

    Who is lying to you about 350 cals-not any of the websites I have frequented. The bread alone is close to that!

    A 6" turkey sub is 280 calories. The bread by itself is 210.

    Thanks for the saving the message boards NEO! You've done the MFPers a great service!

    You know why people love Fast Food? because it is delicious! thast why. You know why that is? because it's packed full of sugar and sodium! RESEARCH the effects of those things from a different perspective otehr than IIFYM and you might learn how addictive those 2 substances can be.
    you wanted science, here's science that says fast food is a poor choice for health and you are ignoring it or attempting to refute it.

    http://www.ajpmonline.org/article/S0749-3797(13)00161-X/abstract

    Your promoting of eating fast food 3x a week or more is laughable! Is that what you call responsible eating? The only one I've seen with an unhealthy view here is you! But by all means, keep using peer pressure to push everyone back into fast food.
    What you are doing is the equivalent of telling an alcoholic it's still ok to drink in moderation. Good job dude.



    Fast food is not a healthy choice. Some iceberg lettuce on a sugar laden bun with a couple tomatos and pickles is not healthy regardless of if it fits your macros or the calorie content. The micros your body needs to function optimally are not there. That's a fact supported by science.
    Maybe you should quit pushing

    Congrats on meeting a goal you set.


    It's not "poison" nor really bad. A 300 calories sandwich is not excessive for a meal. And yes they use real eggs, cheese and ham, the same you would buy at a store.

    It's positive for the OP to avoid if McDonald's is her vice and derails her from losing weight, but McDonald's is hardly poison.

    I highly disagree, but each to their own. You eat McD's everyday and I'll eat fresh foods from the farmers markets everyday and we'll see who dies first.

    Thank you, I highly disagree too, the stuff they inject in that so called meat is deplorable at best, obviously someone hasn't done their homework-I call this place, mc dead animals and burger king is called murder king ha ha-helps me stay far far away!


    What stuff? Please tell me the name of this deplorable stuff.

  • They took the double cheeseburger off the dollar menu! When? Blasphemy I tell you! It goes to show you that last time I've been to a McDonalds..

    And just to note, it's not by choice. It's because the closet McDonald's to me is 45 minutes away :(

    LOL, thanks for your opinion Pratt, I love beer!
    if you aren't aware, commercially raised beef is fed grain in order to fatten them up. Cows are not able to digest grains well, hence why it fattens them up. Cows are grazers, they eat grass, their stomachs are designed by nature to do this. When you feed them grain, it causes them to get sick, hence why they are administered antibiotics, which in turn can be passed to the people who consume the meat.

    You don't know how digestion works if you think poorly digested food is fattening.

    Also you don't know what antibiotics do.

    Getting off topic though. You admit it's delicious and think the answer is abstinence. That's funny.

    You are not getting attacked on a personal level. your ideas are, but not you. I see you are kinda new here. You will find these kinds of debates often, Jump in, argue what you believe but be prepared because alot of us have differing opinions. You cant have thin skin here. Good luck!

    So, in the Summer I workout in the morning at the Gym 3 days a week (run outside the other 2), and then in the Winter, I go all 5 days...

    Sounds like an awesome thing. Here's the catch:

    There's a McDonalds located in the most convenient spot directly between the Gym and my Work...it's even on the right side of the road for easy access. It kills me! I'm usually pretty hungry after working out, and if that's not enough to tempt me, their coffee definitely is!!

    Needless to say, it's a huge accomplishment for me every time I manage to NOT stop there!

    I've been boycotting Mickey D for 12 years. I got sick and tired of the sloppy service. One day I ordered a double, mustard only, they gave me a double with mustard and thast horrid plastic orange cheese, I said no, I ordered mustard only, sent it back, they gave me one without the cheese but with tomato and lettuce, I said, basically, what part of mustard only do you morons not understand? One bun, two patties, a little mustard, nothing else. Took them three tries to get it right... and then it was pretty mediocre. .Also, I once wanted a burger while the breakfast menu was still on--for 20 minutes--they told me I could only order from the breakfast menu, and yes, they did have burgers in the building, but I couldn't order one for 20 minutes. I walked out. I haven't been back to that chain since.
  • Good for you for losing the weight Jonny, but still doesn't mean fast food is "healthy". I wonder how much better your numbers would be if you had chosen better foods than this. There's not a single argument you can make that can definitively prove that eating this list of chemicals is on par with whole foods prepared by one's self.
    None.
    You will never convince me that processed food is as "healthy" or more "healthy" than a whole food.
    I put quotes around healthy because health is broad measure, not one that can be defined by a simple lipid profile, cholesterol test, etc... it's a collection of things.
    Oh, and eating cholesterol doesn't raise your blood cholesterol.

    http://theweek.com/article/index/223915/mcdonalds-burgers-now-without-pink-slime

    That's what was in those burgers besides meat.

    While they may have changed in the past year....that is plenty of burgers we all consumed with the pink slime.

    I do agree with you jonny that learning not to demonize food as to not sabotage your own weight loss is critical. I still eat Mcdonald's, just very, very rarely.

    I do not agree however that the food is even close to the quality we should be eating or should have access to. It is basically dog food grade meat, cheese, etc. And we do have access to better quality food whether we chose to indulge in it or not. I prefer the taste and consistency of grass-fed beef and I feel better about its effects on the environment. Attack that all you want, I won't feel stupid or change my opinion.

    It is delicious, but it is crap.

    Wine is poison!!! How can you ingest that foul, disgusting stuff. It is certainly not a healthy choice. It is loaded with calories and alcohol has been proven to dehydrate. The are far healthier choices for drink than wine.

Dude, stop posting on here constantly, have a beer yourself and relax. Seriously! If you want to eat fast food, be my guest! But stop shoving it down people's throats. Not everyone wants to, and that is ok too. And you were insulting to the op. The hijacking of HER thread and lack of validation and support of a goal SHE had that was important to HER, is insulting. So next time if you want to tout McD's, start your own thread. As for me, at this point I'm glad you eat it. Hope you enjoy it 24/7 as it suits you just fine.

    see what i did there?

    You're entitled to your opinion and your tastes. I wouldn't try to shove mine on you, or be mad at you for not having the same as me. I only ask for the same courtesy. Is it something you are capable of? Lets see...I actually don't like the taste of McDonald's. Maybe if I did I would crave it, but I don't. It tastes gross to me. I actually do like the taste of red wine, so I drink it. And I enjoy it when I do.

    Not sure we're reading the same thread. I have insulted no one. I didn't make the beer comment.

    And I certainly haven't even implied that anyone who doesn't want to should in fact eat fast food. The entire argument hrtr is that it's OK to ear it if you want to.
