My daughter's school is having a fundraiser tonight at McDonald's. I'll be taking her down there in about 20 minutes. I don't *have* to have McDonald's, but if there are any decent options, I'll do it. Are there any?

I always do a grilled chicken salad if I "have" to eat at a fast food place. Just watch the toppings and dressings.0
-
The black coffee..and that's about it.
Hahah, in all seriousness...If you're in a pinch, I would go with whatever contained grilled chicken in as small of a portion as possible.0 -
Whenever I end up there, I will get a salad, be easy on the dressing. OR a fruit and yogurt parfait. Not sure if they still have it, but they used to have a fruit and walnut salad as well.0

Small hamburger?0

Get a kids' meal and get the healthy sides/drink.0 -
A salad with grilled chicken is a good option. I usually get the bacon ranch and use half of the dressing.0

Grilled chicken snack wraps - I had a honey mustard one the other day and thought it was really good. Something like 250 calories, I believe.0 -
Sometimes McDonald's and Burger Kings are right across the street from each other. If so, you can walk across the street and get a Whopper. Much tastier than Mickey D's.0

McRib is back in season. I heard they are quite tasty!0
-
Oatmeal! It's yum and fairly low-cal if you skip the brown sugar0
-
grilled chicken sandwich, no mayo0
-
Anything not breaded/fried without the bun. Usually end up with double cheeseburger or Quarter Pounder (Double if I didn't get around to eating much today)0

I was just going to suggest this0 -
Hmm... McDonald's? Might be better just to eat the napkins.0

I do a kids meal with chicken nuggets, apples, and water! If you are feeling wild and crazy, get the cheese burger!:happy:0

I love the oatmeal.....even with the brown sugar if I can spare the calories...0 -
Hamburger, side salad with vinaigrette. Less than 400 calories I think.0
-
The grilled chicken sandwich, no mayo and take off the bottom bun (that's where all the grease settles). For a side, I'd either have the fruit and yogurt or a side salad with their Italian dressing.0
-
Two packages of Ketchup0
-
Grilled Chicken Wrap, tear off some the excess tortilla. Much better than the salad especially if you use all the dressing!
Enjoy, they are very tastey and will do in a pinch!!!0 -
Grilled chicken wrap, hold the sauce. Shazam!0
-
Just go to their website and look at the nutritional guide for options. If you budget your calories you should be able to have whatever you want. I had a medium Big Mac combo the other day and it didn't hurt my caloric intake at all because I counted them in before hand. You should never deprive yourself of anything, just eat in moderation0
-
Maybe a salad? Bring your own dressing tho, if you use their dressing you might as well just eat a cheeseburger lol0

And get the boy's toy because they're cooler than the girl's toy!0 -

If you ever read the ingredients of those nuggets you'll never want to touch them again.
