McDonald's Horrifying Nutrition Facts



So let's say you decided to hit McDonald's for a Big Mac, some fries, a coke and one small Oreo Mcflurry! And the nice lady on the cashier asks if you would like to super-size it Sir, and you go "What the hell!" Pretty common conversation, no?
Well, truth be told, we are talking about:
  • Big Mac >> 540 calories with 29 grams of fat, 10 of which are saturated, 70 mg cholesterol and 1020 mg sodium
  • One large fries >> 560 calories with 27 g fat, 4 g saturated 430 mg sodium
  • A large coke >> 320 cals with and 82 g sugar!
  • One Oreo Mcflurry >> 500 calories, yes, with 17 grams fat, 10 g saturated, 60 grams sugar and 330 mg sodium
Lots of fat, sodium, cholesterol, saturated fats and sugar no? And a total of 1920 calories is more than I can have in a whole day! So say hello to heart diseases, stroke, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, hypertension and obesity!
So before you decide to go for McDonald's and other fast food restaurants, check McDonald's Nutrition Facts for the unbelievably huge unwanted amounts of extra fat, saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, sugar and sodium you are adding to your diet!

  2. I think they're really good for weight gain diet. If you plan to lose weight, you definitely have to avoid them.

  3. Well not really, when you want to gain weight, you want to make sure to eat the right type of fats because those from trans/saturated/hydrogenated will increase your risk of diseases while you are just aiming to gain weight to reach a healthier weight not increase heart diseases and obesity risks!
