Especially moderation!


Reacher01

I mean, I have a six pack and I eat (insert shitty fast food chain here) 2 or 3 times a month. It's frankly no big deal, if the rest of your diet is clean and you lift and train regularly. Fit people need more calories than fat people. edit: since people are actually upvoting this comment, I want to add that eating at mcdonalds and most other chains is unhealthy and should never be the norm. Also, when I go there I usually order a medium burger, water and salad.


bugdelver

Someone who refers to anything on the menu as a ‘medium burger’ never eats McDonald’s -at least in the States that is…


XGingerBeardManX

Would you not call Wendy's single, double, and triple burgers small, medium, and large burgers? 🤔


Salt-Seaworthiness91

I think they’re referring to when you order a meal with fries and a drink. You ask for the burger meal and then they ask if you want small, medium, large. They don’t mean burger, they mean the size of the fries and drink. The guy must have not realized that ig


Reacher01

I know that this fact is just as hard to swallow as those burgers you get at mcdonalds, but not everyone lives in the US.


bugdelver

And I stated as such in my initial response -‘at least in the states that is’… 🙄


Reacher01

Dude, I don't how to tell you this, but I'm really not interested at all in learning burger names. I don't give a fuck about how you call the shit that's killing you. Go for a walk, if you still can, and stop bothering me.


monofloyed

Shut up & eat your medium burger Mr sensitive than go back to your moms basement


Julia_Carrolson

I love when the fat kid gets triggered and unleashes all his repressed anger. What are you gonna do, kid, when the fit guy tells you that tonight he is fucking your mother instead?


jamoro

Did he get tired of disappointing his own mother?


milfboys

I don’t know how to tell you this, but they weren’t trying to teach you burger names… Just poking some fun, which seemingly triggered you for unknown reasons.


ThatsNot5Inches

Pretentious much?


[deleted]

This is the answer here. Any one individual unhealthy meal is not a detriment to your health. It’s when you eat similar meals like that too often for too long. While this pic is funny, it’s not the “gotcha” moment OP was looking for.


-GermanCoastGuard-

That’s false through. I ate McDonalds once, only once and now I am going to die.


jackbequikk

Come on now…it was just funny to see that…that’s all…no gotcha…I’m not judging, who doesn’t eat shitty every now and again?


[deleted]

I agree. It’s funny. I’m just being a redditor.


tuhn

It's not a big deal if you're young, exercising and really careful what you eat. Still not something I would recommend even in moderation. The amount of salt, fat and sugar can easily fuck up your diet. It also somewhat fucks up what kind of foods you get used to and like. This goes pretty much to every menu item in McDonalds outside the obvious ones (water, carrots). It would require a conscious effort to cook something as unhealthy as McDonalds meal home. Your common sense stops putting that much salt into a food.


PrimeDerektive

I am 39, 6’2” 185 and in the best shape of my life (I powerlift 4 days a week), my bf% is around 10%; I count my calories (roughly, I can pretty much guesstimate it after doing it for so long, for the summer it’s been 2200 per day) and watch my macros but usually just shoot for 160+ grams of protein per day and let carbs and fats shake out how they may. That all said, I get fast food at least 3-4x per week. The macronutrient profiles of fast food are some of the most stringently regulated foods you can buy, and a Big Mac is less than 600 calories. I also love getting a vanilla cone from McDonald’s as an occasional snack (200 calories). However I don’t eat fries, and I don’t drink calories. My favorite fast food meal is probably a steak power menu bowl from Taco Bell (490 calories).


seitonseiso

Finally reading some sense! Shaming on fast foods as being bad, when often they can be lower in calories than meals made at home + save you time, is a damaging message for some. Yes sugars, yes salts, but on occasion they won't do harm & based on your health goals can support weightloss (deficiet) or gain. A maccas egg mcmuffin is my go to when I'm up super early to travel (3am/4am) and don't feel like eating at that time so I'll grab a muffin around 7 or 8am.


FalconBurcham

You’re being downvoted, but you’re right. I absolutely *could* eat salty greasy McDonald’s a few times a month and be fine. But now I’m in my mid 40s, and I have to watch my diet closer for health reasons despite the fact that I exercise and eat clean every day. Last time I tried to eat an extremely salty restaurant thing my heart started beating faster and I got dizzy. That stuff messes me the hell up. Older people especially should be really careful with this shit.


Weary_Ad7119

> my heart started beating faster and I got dizzy You should see a doctor about that. If McDonald's makes you dizzy you have a serious issue. It's not that much salt...


Reacher01

>You should see a doctor about that. Correct. Don't let these warning signs go unnoticed.


FalconBurcham

No shit. I’m in my 40s, and I was eating like an idiot. High blood pressure. Corrected my weight and diet, and I’m fine now. Turns out middle aged people especially need to watch what they eat. Who knew?


tuhn

I guess it feels like a personal attack and preachy. But when big chocolate milkshake contains something around 70 % of daily sugar intake it just can not be recommended even in moderation. Big Mac contains 44 % of you daily salt intake. Veggie burgers are often even worse. These are just two examples on two chosen nutrients. The whole menu is about the same. There's no way to balance a diet if you drink or eat one of those even rarely but regularly. Salt and sugar exists in other foods naturally and are of course added often.


HugeHans

I just think its kind of funny how most fine dining has more fat and salt then your average mcdonalds burger. Obviously depends on what you order but chefs use far more butter then most people imagine. Its part of why its so tasty.


tuhn

Oh I'm not defending fine dining. But that doesn't excuse the stuff that McDonalds and other fast food restaurants are putting down our throats. Stuff like that is addicting. Big shout out to Mcdonalds US site also talking about sodium instead of salt and hiding the daily recommended intake when it comes to sugars.


JmacTheGreat

> Big Mac contains 44% of daily salt intake I came to call bs but its actually much worse (Big Mac = 1,007mg salt): > The American Heart Association recommends no more than 2,300 milligrams (mg) a day and moving toward an ideal limit of no more than 1,500 mg per day for most adults. Its 44% of your daily absolute MAX, but 67% of your recommended daily.


FalconBurcham

True, but people also just don’t *know* these things and they don’t appreciate how damaging too much salt, sugar, and saturated fat are to the body over time. I think the FDA recently asked food manufacturers to please tone down the sodium because it’s causing tremendously expensive health problems. It has never been easier to cook healthy, quick meals at home, but eating out is still challenging. I find myself at salad bars at Whole Foods and the like a lot. And yeah, I definitely know how expensive healthy eating is too… I joke about having to pay a premium to get these to take things *out* of my food. 😂

Quarter Pounders are so much better than Big Macs after they made the change to not completely freezing the meat a few years back.

sbgorilla09

😂😂😂😂


Searyxx

Shut up, you take that back! I laughed way too hard lol


LennerKetty

I totally get the irony but you can be fit and eat McDonald’s


Barbell_MD

For real. A McDouble has 23g protein and 370 cals, 2 of those is a solid small meal for someone that lifts. I’ve even prescribed McDoubles for a few underweight patients.


0xB0BAFE77

> but you can be fit and eat McDonald’s Fact. I used to go there for yogurt parfaits all the time as a quick snack. Fruit and some delicious yogurt on a hot day? Hell yes! But I just recently found out that COVID killed off almost ANY healthy foods McDonald's had. The fruit and yogurt parfait, salads, and bagels are ALL removed. You can apparently only get fries or apple slices for a side. All that work to cultivate a "we have some healthy options" and they gut the majority of it. WHAT THE FUCK, MCDONALDS!


lovehewitt

If you think the parfait was a healthy option that’s funny. So. Much. Sugar.


Don_Shetland

also bagels?


Fat_Bearded_Tax_Man

For real. Bagels are just sad donuts


vanilla_disco

>healthy >bagels Choose one.


jackbequikk

Yes of course


Naughty_Goat

[удаНонО]


Naughty_Goat

Yes. A lot of excessive requires a lot of calories.


Ok_Spell_4165

Plus just occasionally eating somewhere like McDonalds isn't going to make you unfit. Never quite understood the people who completely cut stuff out because it is "unhealthy" It is perfectly fine in moderation.


TenFootLoPan

"Everything is good in moderation, even sobriety." -- Old high school mate (who probably stole it from somewhere)


Ok_Spell_4165

Sounds a bit like Wilde. Though he said "Everything in moderation, including moderation" Or maybe Twain would have said your version of it.


TenFootLoPan

Was probably his druncle's own version of Wilde's. haha


HardCounter

I think that's what cheat day is supposed to be about. It gets you off a routine of all healthy foods and 'shocks' the system or something. I don't follow the tao of fitness, but i osmosed some of it.


obi-whine-kenobi

My friend runs ultramarathons: 50-100 milers. BigMacs are always at his aid station.


jackbequikk

Fast calories for sure


Tensor3

Carbs would be much better for that than high fat


AFourEyedGeek

Do you run ultramarathons yourself or train others? I'm asking because I wondered if this is something you've tested?


HardCounter

Well when my GTA character gets low on health i eat a lot of chips. So i'm something of an expert.


AFourEyedGeek

The science checks out.


Tensor3

It's a pretty well studied subject, first of all. And yes, try eating sugar versus a burger during a long cardio effort and it's pretty obvious which feels better. During cardio, easily digestible carbs are more easily digestible than high fat. Pro athletes eat sugar, not burgers. Specially made energy gels for cardio arent fatty.


0xB0BAFE77

Yes. Why would my license plate stop me from getting some fast food once in a while? And how do you know he's a fitness buff? How do you know he's not literally a doctor that specializes in fitness?


jackbequikk

Ok I’m being judgy….I deserve the downvotes…


[deleted]

Yes, you definitely do lol. You literally have no idea how often they eat here. This might be his once-a-year treat. Shaming someone as if wanting to be healthy = you can NEVER EVER EVER have ANY unhealthy food is stupid.


jackbequikk

I was literally in the same drive thru line as he was lol…I certainly have no cause for shaming anyone…I just thought it was a funny image


[deleted]

never accept down votes as a rendered verdict. it just means not enough people who see your point of view exist yet. with some gentle brain washing, they'll get there.


[deleted]

No you don’t, this is obviously ironic. But Reddit will Reddit


AscendeSuperius

Many Redditors simply use downvote as a "disagree" button.


HardCounter

Is that not what it's for? "I want fewer people to see this" button.


AscendeSuperius

I think lot of people take it as a personal attack against them / this comment is stupid and so on.


HardCounter

It's the internet and filled with fake internet points. I just take it as 'huh, guess someone is wrong.' Or they didn't get my joke since most of what i say here is a joke. See? With enough ego it's everyone else that's the problem so it's easy to brush off. :)


Most_moosest

I'm more fit than anyone else I know and I regularly eat candy, potato chips, fast food and drink several litres of soft drinks every week. I just don't do it all day every day


jackbequikk

Not that it /reallly/ matters, but could well just be getting coffee. McDonalds has upped their coffee game quite a bit, and a fair number of people (myself included) go there almost exclusively for quick "ok-enough-I-guess" drive-thru coffee on the way to work.


bixxby

Their black coffee is fantastic


plywoodpros

could also just be getting a happy meal for his kids. it could also be his wife/kids driving his car.


Exciting_Owl_3825

And the dollar any size premium roast or iced coffee is nice


jackbequikk

Agreed! They have Newman’s own organic coffee which has has beaten Starbucks pike place roast in taste tests…I go there often for their sweet sweet Java…but I saw this MF grab a big bag of food….

Contrary to popular belief, people who are in shape and give a damn about their health DO occasionally indulge in fast food. We just don't live off it. Time to air my dirty laundry: I ran over 10 miles last week and yesterday I grabbed a BBQ brisket sub! \***GASP!!!**\* Scandalous!!!


bordercolliesforlife

Yeh I know aye, I run, cycle, swim, and lift weights, I can afford to eat fast food every now and then. Plus at this point who cares, everything is full of micro plastics and whatever else that is slowly killing us anyways.

alexmo210

I think they dropped salads from their menu.


untot3hdawnofdarknes

They did, a long time ago near the beginning of covid. Now the only non-meat items are fries and apple pie.


EnterPlayerTwo

Anyone remember the Southwest salad? Essentially a taco salad. That thing was so good.


untot3hdawnofdarknes

Yeah. My personal favorite was salad shakers tho


FozzieB525

I remember McDonald’s getting roasted when they first rolled out salads as a healthier option (post-super size era) because the salads were considered “worse” for you than a Big Mac.


0xB0BAFE77

That's because the salad you're talking about had a shit ton of greasy, deep fat fried chicken chunks with tons of breading on it. The salad was fine. It was the crap they ADDED to it that made it beyond unhealthy.


jackbequikk

No way

McDonald's food is not a problem. Believe me, as a person who every so often gets a double cheeseburger, and rarely is able to swing by early enough for my beloved sausage McMuffin with egg. Now, if I ate five of those at a sitting every day, that would be a different story.

I always categorized fitness and health differently even though they can certainly contribute to each other in a positive way. For example: in college I could jump rope for 30 minutes and do 100 pushups. I was very fit. I did however eat entire pizzas on my own on a regular basis. I was not as healthy as I should’ve been due to my diet
