Fast food?

[Disney Ontario]

Hi DH and I basically just started yesterday, we found out today that we are probably going to Disney next Feb. I have heard that you should have like 5-6 small meals a day. We have a tough time on what to eat. I was out in a new Super Walmart today and of course 12 oclock it was Mcdonalds.
Now I had a chicken BLT salad. How is that? Ranch dressing was my only mistake. I think I should find all the info menus for the Fast food joints. I got to keep up with that water too.

If you had the grilled chicken, its a Weight Watchers points of 5, fried chicken BLT salad it 7 points. The Ranch Dressing is 5 points, so a total of 10-12 pts. I'm not sure what program you are doing, but with WW you get 26 points a day if you are 210lbs, goes down to 24pts at 200lbs, and keeps going down, of course.

The grilled chicken salads are the best choice at McDonalds! You did well, just watch that dressing!

Good luck and congratulations on STARTING!!!!

i'm not a fan of McDs salads but i do like the Asian chicken with the RF sesame dressing. DisOntario most fast-food chains have their nutritional value on their website if you know ahead of time, it helps to look it up and make your decision before you go. then you just simply order without thinking about it. here's a website with major chains and their nutrition http://www.fatcalories.com/ or if you are following WW go to www.dwlz.com and there are LOTS of restaurants listed.

IMO, if you are serious about losing weight and getting healthy, then you shouldn't be eating fast food at all. There really isn't anything healthy on the McDonalds menu.
