hi guys. i love the chat about subway by the way. I know takeaways are generally a big no-no but sometimes there is no way aound it. does anyone know the REAL facts about Mc Donalds foods. i love the sweet chilli seared chicken wrap and i have heard that its one of the healthier options. Can anyone add anything? is there a better choice over the wrap etc???

    I go for that wrap when I *have* to go to McDonalds. I have heard it is one of the best options too.

    me too. I hope im not alone when i say that sometimes you don't want to be 'that guy' ask make the car go somewhere else or meet AFTER lunch. I am all for making healthier choices in the real world.... i still want to enjoy days out but want to know how to make the day still fit in with my goals:happy:

    Not too bad for fast food! I made a homemade sweet chilli chicken wrap once and after I calculated what was in it, it was well over 500 cals!

    I love going to the Sushi place opposite Ucol on King Street in Palmy... after 3pm during the week it's half price :)
    I love being able to choose the individual pieces and still feel like I'm having lunch/dinner out :)

    There is always a way around fast food. That NI info that was posted - the 46g of carbohydrates... you can create a homemade meal for less than that and have it be so much more healthier for you....

    As a general rule, there's always a way around just about anything but not everyone wants to take it. I don't. I don't eat out nearly as frequently as I used to but I still enjoy it every once in a while. If I'm going to fall over dead from eating from a drive thru once every couple of weeks then I guess I'm on borrowed time because it happens and I feel absolutely no guilt about it.

    To address the original poster's point, when I'm driving thru McDonald's I usually have a wrap and a fruit and yogurt parfait. If I go inside and eat I really like the grilled chicken bacon ranch salad. When I started eating healthier I went through the nutrition info for places I tended to eat at and picked out a few options at each one just in case I was out at lunch or dinner time and wanted to eat before I got home. It's worked out pretty well for me.
