McRib is back! ALL STORES!!!

[destrekor]

Disgusting:

McRib Nutritional Info:
490 calories, 220 calories from fat, 25 g fat, 8 g saturated fat, 75 mg cholesterol, 1040 mb sodium, 44 g carbohydrates, 2 g fiber, 24 g protein, 11 g sugars.

Disgusting?

Hold the pickles, and there is 160mg less sodium.

What are you aiming for in your diet? Imho, even for a non-active diet, that's a great well-rounded meal.

If you aren't active, your other meals you should avoid eating much more saturated fat, and a little less sodium, but everything else is still great.

But let's see:
Look's like it's a little different this year, up to 9g of sat. fat, but 24g total fat.
That means there is 15g of unsaturated fat. Given that it is pork, it's probably around 9g mono-unsaturated, 6g polyunsaturated.

9g sat. fat isn't that bad, when it's complemented with 15g of unsaturated fat, which are the fats you technically must strive for in your diet (for most people, it does still work out fairly decently without paying attention).

Not an awful amount of sugar, and still a good meal's worth of carbohydrates, given the total nutritional value of said meal. One of these, and I stress one, is a great meal for the normal individual. And it's an even better meal for someone who is active in life (routine exercise, sound nutrition). When I'm active, I tend to have about 4-5 meals, probably 3000-3500 calories.

The ratio of nutrients in the McRib, very surprisingly, is quite awesome.

"It does say it has sold more than 60 million McRib sandwiches during the last three years, compared to about 1.5 billion Big Macs. "

Those numbers are awesome.
McDs is a fuckign MACHINE.

I'm sure they think this is awesome too...

 

[GundamW]

Wow, I haven't had any McRib sandwiches in years. (Always missed it somehow.)
It tasted pretty good when I had it. I remember it was pretty small and had to eat 2.

You can pretty much die from anything these days. So I say enjoy the sandwich (little things in life) while you can.....

 

[dud]

I'm not a "hater" but damn, I have more respect for myself than to eat something like this.

OP, you must have little in your life to get so excited about a high fat, high sodium, low nutritional value unidentified food "product" such as this.

This is just so sad in so many ways ... I even agreed with Sandeagle, a sure sign of the upcoming apocalypse!

For someone who is in-shape, they are also a terrifically balanced meal for individuals looking for a athlete diet. The percentages of the three big categories are almost perfectly aligned with the suggested ratios for athletes and performance training (running, swimming, weight-lifting, etc).

Eat one of those and it will only complement the rest of the diet - and theoretically, one could have one sandwich for three meals (and all performance trainers understand there are about 5-6 meals a day, btw). You still want to get some equally-weighted nutrition from other sources, but pork fat is a highly desirable fat, and the bread has some good carbs but you will want more carbohydrate choices for other meals.

It's actually a perfect meal following training.
I might have to get me one of these to eat after a run one of these days.

What a load of crap. This is wrong in so many ways. Yeah, go sit outside a McDonald's and watch all the athletes going in to eat a "terrifically balanced meal".

Using "terrifically balanced meal" and McDonalds in the same sentence automatically brands you a moron, a legend in your own mind.

 

[Juddog]

After working a few months at McDonald's as a teen, I learned to never eat a "McRib". Those things were friggin' disgusting. They would let it sit in the warm sauce for hours, and the oily fats would separate and form a disgusting sludge on top.

Umm, you do realize that is why they are so awesome, right?

You fail at life, here's a run down of an athlete's diet, he's one you've probably heard of.


Three fried-egg sandwiches loaded with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions and mayonnaise. Two cups of coffee. One five-egg omelet. One bowl of grits. Three slices of French toast topped with powdered sugar. Three chocolate-chip pancakes.

Lunch: One pound of enriched pasta. Two large ham and cheese sandwiches with mayo on white bread. Energy drinks packing 1,000 calories.

Dinner: One pound of pasta. An entire pizza. More energy drinks.


The name Micheal Phelps ring a bell? But I suppose you think a McRib is worse than his diet right? I got some news for you, a serious athlete isn't going to be able to make it eating veggies & fruits and "healthy" foods alone.

*shivers*

The sad part is that I actually liked them, before I got to see how they were prepared and cooked them. After cooking and serving them I never wanted to eat one again.

 

[dealmaster00]

I'd rather eat a turd sandwich. I tried one of these as a kid and almost threw up before I swallowed the first bite.

Giant douches are better.

 

[AstroManLuca]

McDonald's food is so disgusting yet unfilling at the same time. I normally feel sick before I feel full on the rare occasions when I've eaten there.

 

[Juddog]

McDonald's is essentially a lethal combination to make people fat:
* Sugar or HFCS in almost everything (empty carbs which your brain doesn't recognize as food)
* Tons of salt in everything (making you more thirsty after drinking soda for example)
* Almost no fiber (fiber gives you the full feeling and helps you know when to stop eating)
* Tons of fat in almost everything

So essentially it's mostly sugar, salt and fat, mixed together in various ways, and almost nothing has fiber. It's cheap empty food. No wonder why Americans are so fat, we've let the sugar and HFCS industries push down sweeteners in almost everything since the days of Richard Nixon.

They're getting fat because they're taking in too many calories. Not because of the all the things that make the mcrib awesome.

Wrong. 100 calories isn't 100 calories, the source of the calories is important as far as what your body does with those 100 calories.

They're getting fat because they're not burning enough calories, calories don't make you fat by themselves. If they did Micheal Phelps should be 2,000lbs because he eats 12,000 calories a day. Since his diet is already mostly fatty foods like eggs, cheese & mayo. He could eat about 25 McRibs a day and not put on a pound. And I think in all honest they might even be better for him than what he currently eats.

I fail at life ... and your proof of this is the drivel that follows?


LISTEN to the voices of reason, fool. LISTEN to those who have worked at McDonalds (like Juddog). They know what they are takling about. Are you blind? We live in a society of obese people ... I would NEVER advive anyone (especially an athlete) to each this crap ... that is if they have no respect for themselves.

Please, evit stage left toward the drivethrough at McDonalds and stay out of threads that expose you as the village idiot.

omg this better not be a cruel joke. omgggg omgg omgg mcrib .

edit: damn, didn't see it first time around

People aren't obese because of McDonalds, they're obese because they don't burn the calories. You call me the village idiot but said nothing about the PROOF I provided that you can eat a diet that's 12k of calories which 75%+ is fat and still not put on weight. McDonalds IS NOT THE PROBLEM. Answer me this, if you were to advise Phelps on what to eat, how do you propose he gets the 12,000 calories a day he needs to maintain his weight?

Jesus, you must be really pissed off. Advive to each his crap?

It's not necessarily about burning the calories - it's about controlling hunger. If the natural mechanisms were in place where you feel like you don't need to eat, then the body would be informing the mind that it's no longer necessary to keep eating more.

Mixing in sugar, high amounts of salt and fat, then neglecting fiber creates the perfect storm for combating the body's natural response to tell the brain that they are full. This is why people are getting so fat, because the self-regulating mechanisms are being broken from the types of food that many people eat.

It explains in the video I posted, down to the molecular level of how the body processes sugar.

Michael Phelps 1 person out of MILLIONS. He doesn't put on weight because calories in does not > calories out

One typo.

I humbly appologize ...

Your picture is a retarded exception too. A kid that fat at such a young age would be a "1 in MILLIONS" too.

You ever walk outside? Count how many fat kids there are and then count how many Michael Phelps there are.

"Obesity is a serious health concern for children and adolescents. Results from the 2007-2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), using measured heights and weights, indicate that an estimated 17 percent of children and adolescents ages 2-19 years are obese"

So I guess fat kids are about 1 in 6.
