Quetion about McNuggets


Quote  |  Reply

you know the chicken nuggets at McDonalds?

welll

today i got a 4 pc. Mcnuggets and i was wondering if i peeled off like 75% of the "skin" or breading or whatever the crispy stuff is, does it change the calories/fat or anything?

it was effect the calorie intake.. i work at mcdonalds :( haha... if you had peeled off all the skin actuall it would reduced the calorie by almost half, because the white chicken in the middle is not deep fried it is not in oil long enough to effect it as much as the skin

really?

 yay. haha. do you get like disgusted when you see people eating Mcdonalds since you know how everything is cooked?

no not usually its the people that come in and order a Double Big Mac with a Super Size fries...and then spend like a minute deciding to get a diet coke! i just laugh hehe
haa. i love the apple dippers from mcdonalds they are so great. it is the only reason i agree to go. my favriote fast food place is chick-fil-a tohugh..
never heard oh it... but im in canada so that could make a difference lol..my favourite place is boston pizza, not fast food but i love it
i actually live very near a bostons pizza. my mohter went there last night. i have never been there. what do they serve besides pizza? any good healthy meals?
ya they have lots of other stuff than pizzas...they have a special section on heathlier meals..this one salad with pecans, tomatoes,eggs, ranch sauce and some other things i cant remember, its so good but its big and too big for a meal so i ask for half on a plate and half to take home.. i love it.. i rarely have their pizzas
Ewy their nuggets are made of old chickens who are deformed ( example..they have big boobies) ...they are chopped up into lil peices and are made into those nuggets..

well they taste good :)

haha

actually they rreallly were not that good, definatley NOT worth the calories. but my dad would freak out if i didnt get anything or got a salad or something..

the salad is actually a meal and the pecans and eggs give great protein..so you dad its on the meal menu and if he doesnt like that just ask them to add some grilled chicken or salmon to it
so=*show
he would tell me i am worrying about my weight to much etc etc
yeah i get that alot from my dad too and it sucks... i would just try and talk to him and let him know you get enough protein and carbs (make sure you do) and tell him its juat that regluar meals from an outing can be like half or more of your hole calorie intake.. i just try talking to my dad
yeah it really does suck. it is like both of my parents would rather me eat chips all day then fruits. and they get mad when i dont.
ya parents are really stupid..my mom understands more i think though cuz she used to watch her weight to so i guess its easier with her

yeah  thats lucky. i do not wanna loose any more weight i just want to maintain were i am at. actually while on this, how many caloires should i be eating a day if i-

want to maintain

am 15 years old

weigh 100 pounds

and do no exersise at all.

 

you dont do any kind of excerise? but if you go to school and such and walk around.. i would say between 1400 and 1600

well somedays i do 30 minutes of like weight training, squats, situps etc. and sometimes i get off the bus early and walk a mile home from school..but thats about it.

 

ya so just make sure that your cals and burn meter are around the same.. because you are a light weight already so there is no need to lose more, you dont want your burn to be more than your calorie..you will probably be surprised how many cals you can eat
I'm sure it's a good idea to remove the breading from the nuggets.  However, you are not going to completely eliminate the fat and if you look you'll see that nuggets have the dreaded TRANS FATS.  A much better choice would one of the salads with the chicken grill strips.  The yogurt parfait is also a good choice as it's high in fibre, low in fat, and has some protein.  It's also extremely yummy.  I used to loath all macdonald's food but they actually have a few items that are edible now.  Stay away from the nuggets - they don't even taste good anyway.
