So...I promised my son that i would take him to McDonalds for dinner tonight (mommy doesn't feel like cooking when daddy is out of town...) So after my workout this afternoon, i will end up with about 950 calories for dinner...however, it's been so long since i've eaten at McDonalds I don't even know what i should eat! I can pretty much get whatever i want (i know i know i should be eating 950 worth of significantly healthier calories....but i don't wanna tonight :wink: )

If YOU were going to McDonalds tonight what would YOU get?

    If I wanted a "healthier" choice, I'd go for the grilled chicken sandwich. If I wanted to "treat" myself, I'd get a McChicken sandwich (or 2) hold the mayo & a caramel sundae!

    One of their fruit new smoothies and double cheeseburger. But speaking from experience, if you haven't had McDonalds in awhile, you may have an upset stomach.

    I would have a quarter pounder...or chicken nuggets with honey mustard sauce.

    Eeeek! I say have some fun but don't blow all your hard work!
    McDonald's food is notoriously LOADED with fat & sugar & crap!

    You could go to their website & look at nutritional info.
    One Big Mac or any sandwich could easily destroy those 950 exercise calories.

    If you get a sandwich, only eat one piece of the bun.
    Or get a salad & fries or dessert you like!

    Sorry, I don't mean to be a buzz kill........ but sometimes "treats" can end up a bad scene. :sad: :grumble:

    OR: Pick what you REALLY want, ENJOY it and get back to business tomorrow. :love: :drinker:

    My picks would be:

    430 calories > Quarter Pounder WITHOUT Cheese
    220 calories > Small Fries
    000 calories > Water
    290 calories > Strawberry Sundae
    __________

    940 calories :-)

    Enjoy your treat!

    Yes, sometimes when you allow yourself a "cheat" meal or day, you find that your stomach doesn't allow for it anymore and you are less likely to do it again! This happened to me a few weeks ago when I ate 4 cupcakes in the early afternoon. But, on the bright side, my system flushed all that garbage (and everything else for that matter) out of my system and I got a clean slate! :laugh:
