still not convinced that eating fast food is ok! Look at the sodium alone!
Advocating the idea that fast food places are not so bad just fosters people to think it is ok to eat there. I do believe that eating at a fast food place is ok on occasion, I myself try to keep it at 1 or 2 times per year. But advocating three daily meals at mcD's is unhealthy and sets a bad example to young people.
I eat it 2-3x per day due to travelling. I am healthier than I have ever been.
Traveling is not an excuse. By a cooler and pack your food. Cheaper that way. I think if you keep up this way you will not feel so well soon. But to each their own. I am critical of this because I just had a recent health scare. This "menu" looks like a coronary to me, not healthy at all.
Yeah, because packing food for a two week trip is reasonable.
And I have been doing it for years, just not as healthily as I do now.0 -

That might work if you are driving... but I'm pretty sure TSA won't be so tolerant of a cooler pack of food... seeing as I have been patted down over closed packages of apple juice for my toddler.... but I digress.0 -

LOL, that's what I was thinking too......0 -

Apply juice is one of the "deadly" liquids. I take food through TSA routinely without issue. Just have to buy your water after security.0 -

How long is "soon"?0 -
Not bad. The no dressing thing is pretty crazy when a half-packet of the Italian or Balsamic is like 30 calories and is more than enough for a salad.0

I've been eating fast food 5+ times a week my entire life. I wonder how long it'll be before I don't feel so well.0 -
With that little veggies, the micronutrients won't be very good,e specially over time.
The sodium content already would make it almost impossible to hit that moderate protein goal without more than tripling the RDA of sodium, since it's already more than double.
But, if you're morbidly obese it probably beats staying that way, assuming you're not doing stenuous exercise.
Did you even look at it? A full salad and three side salads.
Though, I regularly include Panda for their mixed veggie side.
Oh, I did. Then I had a good laugh.

I am not sure of the hate directed toward fast food. I am sure with the volume of food they sell everyday that it is probably fresher than what you'll buy in a grocery store. I think people watch too many documentaries.0

OP - Thoughtful choices. You've already taken a bunch of flack for it being "fast food", etc. I don't subscribe to that way of thinking and am right with you (though I'm not sure I could go 3 times in the same day). As another poster said, try the grilled chicken thai wrap the next time you experiment at McD's.0

I'm pretty sure he's not here but strong first post0 -
Ok, I'm now using my own diary to track the food I actually ate today. just a heads up for those looking for my actual listings for each individual item. You'll just have to trust me now.0

What on earth is this recent obsession with including McDonalds in diets?
The point is to show it needn't be avoided.
I think McDonalds should be avoided at all costs!0 -

I agree! I eat fast food often, hit my macro targets and feel great. While sodium is a concern for some (with high blood pressure, etc), others (endurance athletes, etc) could use more sodium.

Usain Bolt ate 1,000 chicken nuggets while in China for the Olympics. He also won 3 gold medals that year (100 meter, 200 meter, and 4x100 meter relay events):

He also won 3 more gold medals in 2012 (same events). Someone tell Usain how unhealthy he is eating so that he can change his diet and do better in 2016.0 -

Look at your own success.
Now look at the level of success of the people in this thread saying McDonald's is fine.
Now reconsider your post.0 -
Yep. Looks like a great day to me. I, too, enjoy fast food all the time and continue to lose weight and get healthier.
