When McDonald's is Healthy

[lliira]

So since a couple weeks before moving, I've had pretty bad digestive problems. I won't get into it, you do not want to know, but I have found a few foods that hurt less than others: white bagels (NOT whole wheat), yogurt, Oreos, dairy (though I'm iffy on cooked cheese), strawberries (which throws off my "very low fiber" hypothesis)... and McDonald's. In fact, a meal of McDonald's chicken nuggets, french fries, and chocolate shake w/whipped cream is the only substantial meal I have found so far that causes me zero digestive problems. Chicken breast cooked at home is still better than most things, but not as good as McDonald's. It sure makes me see all those "McDonald's is unhealthy and therefore EVIL" rants in a new light.

Yes, Maccas is brilliant when you have digestive issues! I don't know why, but it works wonderfully.

... neat.

Not the digestive issues, the fact that McDonald's works for them. I'm glad you found something digestible.

Maybe it's why kids like it so much -- it's easy to digest.

Thanks! I was glad to find it too, because I was REALLY hungry there for a while. Now I'm still hungry from not having eaten very much in the past month or so, but my digestive issues are fading and I may be able to eat chili again soon.

When I am in my eating healthy phases, I eat A LOT of McDonald's. They are one of the few fast food places that list their calories in easy to see places - often right on the overhead menu. Makes planning for the day's meals way easy.

McDonald's isn't as terrible as people make it out to be AT ALL.
