- MC DONALDS
So firstly, Let's start with Mc Donalds! Everyone, or most people loves Mc Donalds, that is not a doubt anymore. Mc Donalds is mostly famous for its burgers, although there are lots more different dishes served there. People stated that Mc Donalds burgers are freshly served with very juicy beef and chicken meat, which give them satisfaction for every meal.
But how about it's calories? Does Mc Donalds serves us healthy meal? Is it healthy to keep eating Mc Donalds burgers? Now let's check it out!
Co-founder of Appetite for Health, Julie Upton, a nutritionist, stated that “What makes beef healthier is when the leanest cuts are used, so that the total saturated fat and calories are lower”. However, Mc Donalds did not reach to this standard on keeping the calories in their meals low, probably so that they can beat another famous burger restaurants in term of serving juicy, thick and high quality beef or chicken meat patties.Amanda Macmillan included in her blog, Health, stated that according to McDonald’s website, a Quarter Pounder with Cheese has 530 calories, 27 grams of fat (13 of which are saturated fat), and 1,090 milligrams of sodium. Although most dietitians suggested that a women's meal should not exceeded 500 calories per meal, and Mc Donalds's Quarter Pounder with cheese seems to not be that far off from the targeted calories, but that is only the burger alone.
What would the calories sum up to if a meal set with coke and fries are included? Obviously more calories than the normal calories range!
