I went to McDonald's to get a fruit and yogurt parfait and decided to add a sausage biscuit. Got home and looked up the calories. 430!!!! :angry: for 1. Didn't eat it . Glad I got 2 parfaits. I can have 2 for less calories than 1 sausage biscuit!!
Good choice Patty..Yeah me!!:drinker:

    Way to go! Mcdonalds breakfast foods are terrible for calories, sodium, fat etc.

    Proud of you. It is so difficult to eat healthy with the fast food choices out there. But glad McD is doing better. I like to get their parfait especially when we are traveling. Like you said 2 parfaits are less than 1 biscuit and much better for you.

    Great job! I often look things up before I eat them now - some things are just way crazy in calories, fat or sodium...and I never realized it before! :noway:

    Yeah it was a last minute decision. I wasn't able to look it up before I bought it but knew I could when I got hom. I was thinking ok maybe just half if the calories are high........but I didn't even do that!!]

    Well done!! Checking out calorie value really gives a wake-up call... especially when you compare how much exercise you need to do to burn it off!! I remember thinking a couple of times: omg! That's worth 50 mins of water aerobics!! :noway:

    Keep up the good work!! :flowerforyou:

    Ive stopped here for a smoothie in the morning. It was YUM and the calories very reasonable for the berry flavor!

    Great job!
