McDonalds Anyone?

Ever since I became a vegetarian, pretty much all fast food was cut out. I still love MCD french fries though, but I rarely rarely eat them.

this is why I gained 10 lbs after being a vegetarian for a year. I ate meat and lost all the weight in about a month because I wasn't forced to choose between no food or fries when I went out with friends.

Just had a McD spicy thai grilled chicken salad for supper

made me cringe a little, Im never gonna eat those again. sounds yucky....

In the past month I have had McDonald's once. To be honest, it didn't taste anywhere near as good as what it used to be. I was extremely disappointed with the taste and myself!!!! I went straight to the gym afterwards to burn off some of the damage (even though I was still under my goal for the day). But at the same time, I don't think there is really wrong with having McDonald's or other fast food everyone once in a while. I think the most important thing about MFP is that you really can eat whatever you want as long as you stay under your calorie limit for the day, however, in saying that, that doesn't mean we should be eating it everyday. But for me, it's important to continue eating a relatively normal diet and not cutting anything out completely in your diet. You do notice though when you've had so many nutritious things added to your diet you instantly feel so much better with yourself, you have so much more energy and you're fuller for longer. :-)

if you really want to know what fast food does to your body watch the movie "Super size me". This is a documentry about this guy who eats McD"s for all three meals a day for an entire month. The kicker is that if they ask him if he wants to super size it, he has to according to the rules of his McD's program. His health was put into circumstances that no one should go through at all.

Frankly it's quite disgusting what the fast food industry puts into their food, let alone what it does to your body!!!!!!! I don't go to McDonalds, Burger King, etc......If i go to one it is to Wendy's for the low cal salads.

Here's to eating healthy!!!

The only reason the guy got the way he was, is because he ONLY had McD's food for his meals. No fresh veggies or fruits or a BALANCED DIET for that matter. I was a manager at McD's and we had this guy come in at least 4 times a week for dinner ( as he worked nearby and that was his break) and he always got a Big Mac, or a quarter pounder meal. He was super fit and healthy! He WORKED OUT and ate nothing but healthy food during the day. He just really liked McD's!

and again with the 'pink slime'! I am sick of seeing this image going around. Nuggets are NOT made this way. They STOPPED using mechanically separated chicken back in 2003, and went to white meat only. They do NOT and never have soaked the meat in ammonia. Ammonia in factories like that is used for refrigeration.

As I live about 400 miles from the nearest McDonalds, this is not a problem for me. But, when I go south to Seattle you bet I am going to go get a big mac large fries and a strawberry shake. Then I'm going to feel sick and wonder why I ate it. Then the next time I go down I will do it again. *shrug*

I do enjoy McDonald's from time to time! I'm not much of a hamburger person, but I enjoy their egg and cheese Biscuits and, more importantly, their Peppermint Hot Chocolate. Mmmm. Also their caramel apple sundaes, which aren't actually terribly bad calorie wise. They were a seasonal thing, so I'm not sure if they have them anymore but yum!

Although youre staying under calories, fast food is soo unhealthy in so many ways. Packed with "bad carbs", is processed and Full of fats and preservatives. Very high in sodium which makes you retain water and leads to weight gain. If you fill your diet it with lots of fresh fruits and veggies and protein you'll feel so much better physically. For me, if i eat fast food I feel sluggish and like total crap. Once in a i think its ok to splurge, its normal, but i don't think eating fast food should be made into a habit

Bad carb? Carb is a carb. Sodium is only temporarily weight gain, not fat gain so it is no issue.

Yup Wife to be is in Mgmt. Here's my secrets. Glad to share.
Egg McMuffin Grilled Bacon Ranch Salad Mcdouble (No Buns) and Chicken Patties Grilled, and alone. (Yes you can order alacarte) The chick patties are abt 2 bux where I am.

I was eating there at least 5 meals a week I haven't been since the day I discovered how many calories in 1 breakfast wrap and how much treadmill it took to get rid of it! I love the french fries...sooo I decided to stay away. : {

I eat McDonald's once a year when we go on a road trip into the US. We stop for lunch on the way down and on the way back up.(so, technically that's twice,I guess) . It's fast and easy, and we can be back on the road quickly. I always order the Big Mac, the fries and a coffee. And I enjoy every bite! My family and I are all also convinced that the burgers are much bigger in the US than in Canada . My daughters always comment on how much bigger the meal seems, and they often can't finish them. That said, I always get a little sick afterwards, so I don't actually ever crave it during the rest of the year

Yea I do all the time, I almost ate fast food all week, I had to stop myself cause I can get carried away by it that and I get the big combos with the large drink so I was starving by the end of the week cause I was staying at my calorie goal, so I was only able to eat one mc meal all ell thouh I had Carls and In and out too.

I think its important to aprease cravings here and there, that way you don't go over bourd, and its good to learn how to eat, like my sis will ocasionaly get fast food but she is so small, but when she eats fast food she doesnt eat much for the rest of the day
