GENERAL RULES for McDonald's:
* ❌AVOID buns + breads (including wraps, bagels, pancakes, and biscuits)
* ❌ AVOID the fancy McCafe drinks (FULL of sugar!!)
* ❌ AVOID desserts (cookies, pies, other bakery items)
* ❌ AVOID soft drinks
* ✔ Order PLAIN coffee/espresso/latte with real milk/cream + stevia sweetener
* ✔ WATER -always a good choice
* ✔ UNsweetened tea
Here's what you can order at McDonald's and not feel (horribly) guilty about:
1. Breakfast
* Any of the breakfast sandwiches, biscuits,
wraps, or bagels, with NO BREAD,
ask for it IN A BOWL.
>>>Any brewed coffee (including decaf),
Americano, Premium roast coffee; add milk,
cream, half n half, and stevia to sweeten.
>>>Iced coffee, cappuccino, latte, iced latte
are fine, but ask for UNSWEETENED.
Add your own stevia or zero cal sweetener.
2. Burgers
>>> Burgers from McDonald's--even without
the bread--are so high in calories and fat
that they're not really worth it unless you get
the SMALL burgers (even happy-meal size).
But if you MUST have a burger, follow these guidelines:
*MOST burgers ordered without the bun,
or ON LETTUCE.
❌ AVOID:
Bacon BBQ Burger
Double Bacon BBQ Burger
Big Mac (because of sauce unless you're dying for one)
3. Chicken
>>> NONE of the chicken nuggets are
recommended bc of zero fiber and
being fried in unhealthy fats, but if you MUST
have nuggets, either choose:
-4 piece Mcnuggets or
-Buttemilk Crispy Tenders (4 piece)
AND pair with a salad for fiber + vitamins
* GRILLED chicken sandwich with NO BUN,
or ask for it on lettuce with all the veggies + mustard.
4. Salads
>>> Go easy on the dressings, some
can add 300-ish calories in one packet!
Check the packet to confirm.
*Side salad
*Bacon Ranch Grilled Chicken Salad
*Southwest Grilled Chicken Salad (already has dressing)
5. Sweets
