You are late for a date, you run vigorously and alone
he realized that he is hungry and has not had lunch. You look
around and the only place you can find quickly is
McDonalds. What is your job?
Your mind says no, it is not healthy food. Your stomach says yes
it’s time to eat. Either it’s running out of food or buying something quickly at McDonalds. What about all the negative exposure regarding McDonalds nutrition information?
You make the decision to grab something so your mind is clear.
for your big date. Now what? Burgers, McNuggets, French fries, smoothies, salads confuse you as the best nutritional option.
After reviewing the current nutritional information for McDonalds, I have
decided to make it easier for the consumer to create
options by listing my “Best Choice Awards” from McDonalds. Please remember, you have a choice. Mickey D’s has tried to offer some healthier alternatives to choose from. It is your responsibility to make that smart decision.
My biggest concern when looking at McDonald’s nutrition information was the amount of artery-clogging saturated fat found in each item. I also paid close attention to the number of calories found in each item.
Keep in mind that there are healthier items in your
menu than in the past, but in general, it is not like eating brown rice and steamed vegetables. Below, I list all the foods in the “not bad” category.
