What To Eat at Fast Food Places...McDonalds

This is by far my LEAST favorite place to eat at! I don’t like that we feed our children this over processed, highly caloric, fat saturated so called chicken nuggets. Mostly for convince sake I know but still I don’t like it. (I feed it to my kids when they were younger so know that I am not judging you =-)

So forgive me if I’m a little harsh. However, I am realistic to know that even I HAVE to eat there because there might not be any other choice. It seems to me that McD's are every were even in county roads where there is nothing but farm land.

Even the slang name “McD’s”' bothers me. It’s like he’s our friend…. ugg. Not mine. Yes, I do understand they are "trying" to get healthier options but in all honesty they are going to market what sells and right now what sells for them and what they make their money on is easily over possessed inexpensive food.

Read the following understanding that none of McDonalds breads are very healthy or nutritious. If you can, try to take the bread off or only eat ½ of the bun on your sandwich.

Alright off my soap box now on to facts. =-)

What to eat IF you have to eat at McDonalds go for the grilled chicken sandwiches, Caesar salad, apples or fruit and walnut salad.
