McDonalds would not succeed if its food was not appealing. Also, with all the heat they got from the nutrition advocates, they now have a decent number of healthy items on their menu. Nothing wrong with a yogurt parfait and an oatmeal for breakfast. I have not had their salads lately. Even the little old single burgers have a lot of the damage fried out of them by the time you eat it. It's not Five Guys, but it does the job. 2 singles = 500 calories, 18 gms fat. 1 QPw/cheese is 520 calories and 26 gms fat. Grilled Chicken is the winner - 350 calories and 9 grams. Surprisingly, the Caesar salads are better than other salads choices.
THe Caesar salad is better because it's a simple Caesar salad. McDs other salads have diced eggs, shredded cheese, craisins, the crunchy chow mean noodles, etc. All that stuff adds fat and carbs.
