McDonald's under 200 Calories


I've figured out a little meal at Mickey D's that'll get you satisfied both in the tummy and on the scale!

Keep this in mind as you read through. A cheeseburger from the golden arches is 300 calories, and mcchicken is 360 calories, 3 chocolate chip cookies is 480 calories! just three little cookies! holy cow!

alright, here's the meal:

Order a side salad (20 calories) with lowfat balsamic vinegarette (40 calories, but I use half the package so 20 calories there). Then order a snack wrap grilled with no sauce. Take the snack wrap apart and cut the chicken (60 calories) and throw the chicken pieces with the cheese and shred into the side salad (the cheese is 40 calories and the shred is 0 calories). Don't use the flour tortilla because that's 140 calories right there. Mix up the salad and with a side of apple dippers without the carmel (35 calories and 70 calories respectively) and water to drink you'll only rack up 175 calories with this meal!

It's light and and fresh (you might want to make sure the side salad is fresh, it is McDonald's afterall) and it won't tip the scale. Since this will be less than 4 bucks it won't tip your wallet either.

That's all for now. Enjoy your fast food responsibly.

  1. I'm proud of you, Danny! It's hard to get motivated to get in shape and hard to stay motivated too. I definitely need help in those areas. It's great that you've started this blog to share your experience. You have a lot of good tips, those podcasts and programs you mentioned, and this healthy meal at McDonald's you figured out. Keep up the good work!
