  • The guy in the "Supersize Me" would have been just as bad off, if he had done that at any of the other fast food restaurants or even fine dining ones for that matter! At least when it comes to fast food, McDonalds does offer some choices.... good salads, grilled chicken options on wraps... use little or no sauces and…
  • That's what I've been doing but sometimes I am still over and when I saw something called a daily calorie deficit come up today I wondered if I could think of that as a little extra margin... not that I would make a habit of being right on the margin:)
