I eat McDonald's quite often, anywhere from 3-6 times a week, depending on my schedule and tastes.

My "go to" McDonald's dinner is usually a combo (McChicken, Big Mac, Quarter Pounder, sometimes Filet-O-Fish) and a smaller sandwich on the side (e.g. if I get a McChicken combo I'll buy a bacon cheeseburger).

I started looking at the calories of my meal and plan accordingly. I always try to eat under 2000-2300 calories a day, so if I eat a big McDonald's meal I just have to suffer for the rest of the day or eat with that meal in mind.

One of the things I always do is ask for extra mayonnaise. I used to dislike mayonnaise but now I really enjoy it and almost exclusively use it as my condiment for fries. I typically use 2-3 packets for my fries and an additional 1-2 for my sandwiches. If I get a McChicken it usually has enough mayonnaise, but I enjoy dipping my bacon cheeseburger into mayonnaise or using several fries to spread some on the patty.

Today I was looking at the nutritional information of the lunch I just had and realized that a packet of mayonnaise is 100 calories! I never think about condiments as having much caloric significance, but I have been adding 300-500 calories on top of my meal without knowing! I am shocked and will obviously adjust by rationing 2 mayonnaise servings per meal or maybe try walking at lunch to burn off the excess calories.

I was really surprised and somewhat perturbed. What other foods or condiments/additives/garnishes have you been surprised about?

There's other burger places. There's literally no excuse to eat that much food daily. I'm just really concerned, not even for your health but that you just for some reason don't go somewhere else to eat. Is that the only restaurant in your area?

>> No.11250132

Because you can't taste the bitter medicinal tasting sweetener in it. Fortunate for you. I personally can't drink that shit. I also have Yelp but also just internet access in general so whenever I want a burger and know I had McDonald's the day before I just type in 'burger' and check the menu and buy something under $8.50 (or whatever the price of a filling sized meal at mcdonalds is) and then I'm amazed that I spent the same amount of money on more food that was made fresh (not reheated stuff put together) and that I'm not marveling over the calories listed on the sauce packet..

sucralose is basically a glucose molecule with a hydroxyl group popped off and a Chlorine put in its place. It's really close to actual sugar but you can't digest it

the sweetener is a thousand times sweeter than sugar so they can put in a tiny amount of it into the coke.

Only the meat is reheated. That's one of the tricks that's made mcdonalds so popular is securing local food, but yeah. Everyone thinks ingredients are magic. It comes down to calories, and McD is quicker than most places when you got a 30 lunch.

You can eat mayo all you like and still lose weight if you're eating less calories than you burn. But it's people like OP who report eating a "750 calorie" meal but then just ignore 5 fucking packages of mayonnaise they had with it

Coke Zero isn't zero calories. Everything advertised as zero calories. It's 5 calories or less per serving, which is literally hidden calories.

I know they are depressing, but what about switching to microwavable foods instead? Easier to know the calories, and there are some healthy options (albeit they are expensive at times).

Oxide means one. Adding the mono is redundant. I am sorry if I ruined your facebook meme. Hydrogen hydroxide if it's reacting like a base or hydric acid reacting as an acid, in regards to its pH. There's other names, but I didn't want to seem like a retard and call it Dihydrogen Monooxide, but you had to go there.

This reminds me of that dumb bitch who posted here like a month or two ago and couldn't figure out why her boyfriend would lose weight or keep weight off easier than her. If you really wanna lose if that's the goal here, start actually eating healthy, and give yourself a cheat day at the end of the week. Can you eat mcdonalds every day and lose weight? Sure, is that the best plan of action, what do you think?
