Yep:
McDonald's Hamburger (260 cal/9 g fat/1 g fiber/33 g carbs)
Wendy's Jr. Hamburger (280 cal/9 g fat/1 g fiber/34 g carbs)
Arby's Regular Roast Beef (320 cal/14 g fat/2 g fiber/34 g carbs)
McDonald's Premium Grilled Chicken Classic Sandwich w/o mayo (370 cal/4.5 g fat/3 g fiber/51 g carbs)
Wendy's Ultimate Chicken Grill Sandwich (360 cal/7 g fat/2 g fiber/44 g carbs)
Arby's Chicken Fillet Sandwich: Grilled (414 cal/17 g fat/3 g fiber/36 g carbs) (less w/o mayo)
Okay, I know what you're all going to say, McDonalds serve the nastiest food under the heavens and you wouldn't stomach it for $10000.

Accurate? Say how? You're comparing double beef to chicken?

And to further bust your myths: The only trans fats in a McDonald's burger is from the trace of Margarine used on the burgers while cooking and a trace in the buns... which you'll find in any bread served at virtually any restaurant.

The thing is, is it healthy eating? I say it is not, you say it is.
You explain to me how white bread filled with trans fatty acids and a few grams of beef with a side of fries is healthy eating, especially with HFCS coke to go with it.
Explain to me how that will NOT lower your insulin sensitivity if you keep eating that (and in the end that will cause the LDL to rise, lowered insuln sensitivity always does).
I guess some lard and a keg of beer every night would be even worse but not much.

The buns are white bread and the meat is what, 46 grams uncooked?

I dont like really any fast food because I cannot see the ingredients raw, I cannot see my food made, and I dont know who the hell is making it.... Did they even wash their hands? wtf!

Not if you buy bargain bin meat :roll:. Just because it's cooked on a Foreman grill doesn't make it ungodly healthier. I've seen and used Foreman grills and there's still grease left on the grill while cooking and just as much as you'd see at McDonalds (unless the people don't follow procedure and clean it after every "wave" of patties).

Actually, I don't use a foreman grill, I use a brand that I doubt they sell in most places. And contrary to what you think, my doctor showed a group of his patients the difference in fats, calories, and other unhealthy ingredients between one prepared at home the way he advocates versus a fast food burger or a fried one. The difference was immense, especially over time (even if you only this stuff 2-3x a month).
I'll take his demonstration over your word. k.thx.bye.
That's why I don't eat that sh!t , whether at fast food joints or at a sit down Resturaunt. I do eat it occasionally at home but my burgers are a lot healtheir and tastier than any burger you get at a fast food joint and a lot healthier than you get at a sit down eatery.Originally posted by: Amused

Amused, so a white bread filled with mostly saturated fatty acids is your choice for a healthy meal?
Side of french fries?
Who in the FVCK goes to McDonalds to pay for an overpriced bag of vegetables that are nerver really fresh after 8:30?
Get yourself some meat with the bun and not all artificial cheese and sauce that is basically hardened vegetable trans fatty acids and E482.
Again, the buns, cheese and meat at McDonalds are virtually no different from the buns and meat at any restaurant... fast food or sit down. The cheese is the same Kraft American Cheese you buy at any supermarket. The buns are identical to 90+% of the buns you'll find at any supermarket and the beef is 100% pure ground beef.

I agree, if you eat something unhealthy at a sit down retaurant it's no better than the unhealthy crap you eat at McDonalds.Originally posted by: Amused

Chili's Cheese Burger (Chili's does not list trans fats):
Cal 880
Fat: 51
Sat Fat: 17
Sod: 1330
McDonald's Quarter Pounder:
Cal: 510
Fat: 26
Sat Fat: 12
Sod: 1190
Because of portion sizes the Burger meals at most sit down restaurnts are usually unhealthier for you than fast food.
Folks, beef is beef, white bread is white bread. To think that McDonald's somehow uses unhealtheir ingredients is just pure ignorance.

Actually, you're right, I should have compared 2.3 hamburgers to a wendy's chicken, not just two. Correction then:
2.3 x McDonald's Hamburger (598 cal/20.7 g fat/2.3 g fiber/75.9 g carbs)
Wendy's Ultimate Chicken Grill Sandwich (360 cal/7 g fat/2 g fiber/44 g carbs)
Even more unhealthy on diect comparison! Congrats Raduque!

Thats ridiculous. Double the portions for the top 3 to compare. A Wendy's chicken sandwich has much more meat than the top 2.

I'm not even sure what is on the "ultimate", but I usually get the spicy chicken without anything on it except lettuce & I toss half the bun cause I dont need all the carbs/cals, so you can reduce those counts even further.
In any case, McD's food is garbage, and no matter how many times Amused types it, my foreman grilled hamburgers at home are much, much healthier than anything I can buy out.

Yeah right, nobody's more proud of themselves than you:roll:Originally posted by: Amused
And yes, we all know how you buy beef from anorexic tofu eating cows, grill it on your super duper Dr prescribed grill and eat it on whole grain buns. We're all very proud of you... especially yourself.
And the Majority of them will have weight/health issues when they reach 50.Now, this is not how the vast majority make their burgers at home. So your example is pointless, moot, and kind of a silly response to my points.
