When you think fast food, you don’t normally think weight loss - weight gain is more like it. But it doesn’t have to be that way thanks to the McDonalds Calorie Counter.
The Calorie Counter comes in the wake of the film ‘Supersize Me’. If you recall this documentary, the film’s subject experimented on eating nothing but McDonalds food for 30 days. The results took a toll on his health, including a whopping 25-pound weight gain.
But, as it turns out, it is actually possible to eat nothing but McDonalds or any other fast food and still lose weight. What you need to know is what you’re eating or what you can eat, which is where the McDonald’s Calorie Counter comes in. The counter calculates what foods in the McDonalds menu you can take in, and in what amounts.
And people have taken up the challenge of eating nothing but McDonalds’ food for a month without gaining weight - some had even lost weight in the process. The key is in choosing primarily salads and other healthier fare available in their menu. You’ll be surprised, you can even enjoy your choice of hamburger and McNuggets, even the occasional fries and milk shake. Portions and how often you can indulge will be specified by the calorie counter.
McDonalds, like many other fast food restaurants, has made their calorie counter freely available online and at most of their restaurants. Since the food is all standardized, you can pick one of them up and know that what you get is going to very close to what the guides say.
With the help of a McDonalds calorie counter, you need to select foods that fit into your diet plan. Basically, you need to make sure your daily calorie intake fits within a range that is going to let you lose weight. As long as you are within that range, you can eat whatever you like.
So go ahead and indulge in your favorite fast food. But make sure you stick to the calorie counter’s recommendations and you won’t risk gaining those unwanted extra pounds.
