Fast food has become an integral part of our lives. Who doesn’t want to indulge in an unhealthy burger or fries? For some reason, many supporters of active lifestyles are convinced that it is bound to harm their health or completely ruin any diet. But it isn’t. Even at McDonald’s there are dishes that can afford any person who is losing weight or following a healthy diet.
Breakfast
Oatmeal porridge
Caloric value: 154 kcal. Here and further are the number of calories per 100 grams of product.
To talk about the benefits of this porridge, of course, it is impossible. After all, McDonald’s uses instant cereals, which do not require boiling. What’s wrong with them? The degree of processing. In the production of oat groats, the most valuable thing in it – the grain – is removed. And it is it that contains most of the micro- and macronutrients.
Chicken Fresh McMuffin.
Calorie count: 325 kcal.
If the breakfast of oatmeal does not suit you at all, then you can afford chiken fresh. But it is worth remembering that the calories in it are twice as much. And when ordering it is better to ask to remove the sauce.
Lunch
Shrimp roll, fish roll or caesar roll.
Calorie count: 445 / 444 / 472 kcal.
Such variants of lunch snacks at McDonald’s will prove to be optimal for those who are losing weight. The only rule: be sure to exclude from the composition of all sauces. They contain trans fats, which weigh down the dishes with calories.
Dinner
Caesar salad
Calories: 283 kcal.
Dinner should be light, especially if you have a planned workout in the evening. To “Caesar” in “McDonald’s” there are sauces and oil. It is better to refuse from all this, so as not to make the dish heavy and more caloric.
Vegetable salad
Calorie: 68 kcal.
The calorie content of vegetable salad is four times lower than “Caesar”. So you can order six chiken McNuggets to it, if you realize that you can’t eat only vegetables. But remember that in this case the energy value will increase.
A light snack
Carrot sticks and apple slices
Calories: 28 / 38 kcal.
These items are some of the most innocuous dishes at McDonald’s. They are great for those who stick to a healthy diet and are not going to break their diet even occasionally.
Cappuccino and latte 0,3 liters
Calories: 123 / 125 kcal.
For a light snack in the middle of the day, a cup of coffee is enough for many people. Cappuccino and latte at McDonald’s will be a great solution. But the most popular dishes of the institution should be refused – they have too many calories!
Of course, the choice for thinners in fast food restaurants is not large. Most dishes, especially the most popular, will be too heavy during the diet. Therefore, it is better not to get carried away with even the lowest-calorie positions among fast food and eat it rarely, rather for the sake of exception.
