McDonalds Nutrition Best Choice Awards

Read Time:2 Minute, 48 Second

Your late for an appointment, running vigorously, and just
realized you are hungry and haven’t eaten lunch. You look
around and the only place you can find quickly is
McDonalds. What do you do?

Your mind says no, it’s not healthy food. Your stomach says yes,
it’s time to eat. It is either going without food, or grabbing something quickly at McDonalds. What about all the negative exposure regarding McDonalds nutrition information?

You make the decision to grab something so your mind is clear
for your big appointment. Now what? Burgers, McNuggets, fries, shakes, salads all confuse you as the best nutritional choice.

After reviewing the current McDonalds nutrition facts, I have
decided to make it easier for consumer to make intelligent
choices by listing my McDonalds “Best Choice Awards.” Please remember, you do have a choice. Mickey D’s has made an attempt to offer some healthier alternatives to choose from. It is your responsibility to make that intelligent choice.

My biggest concern when analyzing the McDonalds nutrition facts was the amount of artery clogging saturated fat found in each item. I also paid close attention to the amount of calories found in each item.

Please note, there are healthier items found on their
menu than in the past, but overall, it is not like eating brown rice and steamed vegetables. I am listing all the foods below in the “not too bad” category.

Here is my list of the McDonalds “best choice awards.”
The choice is yours!

1. Premium Grilled Chicken Classic Sandwich 2g saturated fat / 420 calories
