This is a good article for my indulge day. I mean, I will still not eating McD everyday... but at least, when I feel like stopping at McD--for like, once in a month-- I know what to choose :D

Can everyone who complain about McD is hardly healthy blablabla yadayadayada shut up? The whole damn point of the article is CALORIES. I have moments when I feel like eating McDonalds, and FitSugar highlights to me what to eat if I don't want to break my calorie bank for the day. You people don't understand the whole idea. Not everyone eats like you do, and this world doesn't need food snobs lurking around a perfectly good article just because (surprise, surprise) low calorie doesn't mean healthy. Do you seriously think FitSugar is that stupid? Get over yourselves!

Some people like an occasional stop at McDonalds and it's good to know which choices are preferable in terms of calories. It is possible to be a heathy person and still enjoy an occasional nugget, my god. Move to the next posting if it offends you.

Just because something is low calorie does not mean it is healthy. I would rather have something higher calorie, as long as the calories are not from fat! For example, the friench fries are not a good choice. Have the hamburger or nuggets and a side salad with low fat dressing, but if you are hungry and looking for a quick fix, don't just order yourself a small fries because it is "low cal"

I used to eat at McDonalds but since i'm changing my eating habits and trying to stick with my workout regime i don't anymore. If for any reason i decide to go there i usually get coffee, something for my son and BF. I did try the grilled chicken ranch wrap and it was good.

Hi not trying to offend anyone but really everyone is aware of the type of foods that is served -so it's up to you if you eat there are not. I believe the Mac is trying to serve healthier food choices.

The salad is beautiful but I don't like fat free anything so I'm going to pass and eat the sundae

You MUST be getting paid to post ANYTHING positive relating to McDonalds. I don't care where you are, there is always a better option. Nuts from a gas station or a nutri-grain bar (also not great) is something easy to find at any mini-mart. NO one ever HAS to eat at McD's. Please don't post things that support a place that is killing people slowly and willfully.

to GlowingMoon: you do realize that you can tell them to take off the mayo when they make it..

Actually, McDonald's is not that bad. You have to know what you're ordering. Yesterday, I had their classic chicken sandwich (with grilled chicken), and a side of green salad. The sandwich only has bread, lettuce, tomato, and a piece of grilled chicken breast (I scraped off the mayo). With the side of green salad, it made for a nutritious, tasty meal. The price point was good, too. In my opinion, McDonald's does have some healthy options in their menu.

McDonalds is like having that cigarette when I go out drinking with my friends; I know it's bad for me, but at the moment, it's great and reminds me of earlier times (childhood for MickeyD, art school for smokes) and I feel worse the next day. I've still haven't found anything that hits the spot like a sausage mcmuffin and hash brown.

I don't eat McDonalds either.. but I was interested b/c my boyfriend is always trying to get me to get a Snack Wrap from there.. http://nutrition.mcdonalds.com/nutritionexchange/nutrition_exchanges.html Snack Wraps are 260 - 270 calories if you get the Grilled Chicken! Has anyone ever tried that?? I just can't bring myself to eat McD's but.. maybe I'm being too picky?
