    McDouble! I was craving a cheeseburger soooo bad the other day and wanted to grab something before school so I researched. McDouble is 360 or 390 (can't remember which) calories and cheap! It was goooood. Although, my tummy hurt after I ate it since I've been eating pretty good.

    If you can fit it into your day eat whatever you want from the dollar menu. You'll just have to look up the nutrition info and plan for it.

    Nothing. Ever.

    Items that are quick and cost a buck or less from your kitchen: banana, apple, orange, handful of almonds, oatmeal with cinnamon, box of raisins, carrot sticks, celery and peanut butter, trail mix, meat or fruit jerky, boiled eggs

    Have you ever downloaded the free fast food app? It's pretty good. It will help you decide what will work. It has tons and tons of fast food places with nutritional information.

    Grilled chicken snack wrap - no sauce. If I'm being real good, I'll leave off cheese. The best part is if you special order this way; it's made fresh right then! They're very good! I wish they had'm for b-fast.

    Good Luck!

    Oh, also most chains have a nutrition menu where you can play around with adding / removing ingredients to let you see how the nutrition facts change. Mickey-d's does

    I'm really surprised to see that anyone concearned with health and healthy food brings up McD's. Don't eat it. Try this: Buy whatever from from them and let it sit. Not even then fly's will touch it even after several months. That's enough to tell anyone with an interest in healthy living that it should not go in the mouth... And why sponsor them with your bucks? They're the reason we're in this weightloss-game to start with.

    I don't really care what happens to McDonalds food after several months. If I ate it, I would pass it within the next day. I've had apples stay good for a few months, does that mean apples are bad too?

    And McDonalds isn't the reason in in the weight loss game. It's not their fault I had little nutritional education as a child and even less self control as an adult.

    I have gotten the side salad, mcchicken without mayo, and a fruit parfait. I take the chicken off the bun and cut it up and put on salad. Cheap $3 lunch, not often but if in a bind. :)

    No. Just, no.

    OP, stopped in tonight for a light supper and got a cheeseburger, side salad (used a couple regular mustard packets instead of dressing), and a water. $2.12 for supper, not bad :bigsmile:

    Nothing. I'm a fan of quality. If I'm going to eat a burger and fries it's going to be a damn good burger. Shake Shack or BareBurger at the very least.

    Nah tho, the reason I'm here is because I have no self-control and a ravenous appetite and am as sedentary as they come (for now). McDonald's is great in a pinch and nothing will deter me from getting a McDouble on occasion, not even the paralyzing food poisoning I got once after microwaving one for breakfast when we had nothing else to eat. Although I'm not sure if it was the fault of the burger or a coincidence, but that was years ago anyway.

    You are all going to get worms or SARS or some weird **** like that from eating there.

    And yeah, I know you eat there all the time and you've probably all lost weight fittin it into your cal count

    The thing is it all sounds like fun and games until someone poops out their liver. Mark my words, its gonna happen to one of you and then you'll remember my post. Until then, enjoy your happy meal and ignore your pending doom.

    Nothing. Just not at all a fan of McDonalds. There is other fast food I prefer (e.g. Tim Hortons)

    Personally, I'm not the biggest fan of McDonalds.. It's probably my LEAST favorite fast food joint. Either way, every once in a while i find myself there, and there's only a couple things that I can order without wrecking my whole day's calorie intake.
    1. (the obvious, actually pretty decent for you option) Fruit N' Yogurt Parfait - 150 calories.
    2. GRILLED chicken snack wrap (not breaded) 250-270 calories. (Ranch, Honey Mustard or Chipotle BBQ).
    3. Iced Tea - ZERO calories (nice change from consistently drinking water).
    4. (If really looking to splurge on a full sized sandwich) Premium Grilled Chicken Classic Sandwich - NO MAYO - 300 Calories. Asking for them to not add the mayo reduces the calories from 350 down to 300, and takes the fat content from a whopping 9 grams, to an acceptable 3.5 grams.

    Wendy's is what. Not a fan of McDs. Jr bacon or baked potato.
    ETA also their chili is yummy.

    ^^ This


    If the situation arises that I have to eat for a dollar, I'm going to Wendy's. (or Taco Bell)
