Oh No! Mcdonalds For Lunch?

[vampsy 29]

Boss just offered to buy McDonalds for lunch. I swear I started having an anxiety attack as the paper went around to write down your order. I had no idea what to write. So I ordered a grilled chicken snack wrap and an iced tea no sugar. Please tell me I made a good choice. I need to be prepared for next time. I never thought of going to McDonalds again but here I am in a situation where if I say no thank you my boss takes it personal. Advice please

I just had a grilled chicken wrap from McDonald's for lunch today. That's the only thing I order from them, along with the tea and I tear away the excess tortilla. I don't think it's too bad of a choice.

Per the Livestrong website - McDonalds grilled chicken wrap with Ranch is 270 calories, 18 grams Protein, 26 g carbs.

So its a little high on the carbs side, and I suppose you could choose a different dressing, but I love ranch. I'm not stressing too bad over carbs right now.

I think you did good. Your selections were good ones.

Thanks ladies. I guess next time I can order it no sauce. I was in such a panic that I couldn't think. As far as carbs go, yeah me too. I eat so little that I really don't count carbs either.

Next time tell your boss you can't eat that and request jason's Deli or something like that instead.

I finally had to step up for myself here and make sure they understood that if they all get a say so on food then I am not counted out because I cannot pig out. They kinda forgot I ate at all and was on this "soup/salad/fruit" for Lea thing...

_{In a jam I eat the grilled snack wraps all the time..I get mine with no lettuce. I have lost 42 pounds in 10 weeks so I have not been doing too bad. Do I eat all of the tortilla? NO..i peel most of it away but the chicken is really good}

Just got back from Disneyland a couple weeks ago. Went to McD's a couple times. The grilled chx salad was perfect. Shared with the wife and still had leftovers.

I have started carrying a plastic fork and knife in my purse so that I can tear apart food like the tortilla wrap and just eat the parts I am allowed. It's probably a good idea to have a plate, knife and fork in your desk, locker or car, too.

You made a perfect choice, I would have not eaten the tortilla but still a good choice...and you can do that at pretty much any restaurant with a little planning, I do it all the time.

its ok to buy foods from fast food places..NOW the healthy items are the ones to buy. There is an iphone app that I have that shows all major US restaurants, their menu, then the nutrition facts of each item. You can never go wrong with anything grilled chicken related (no buns) and an unsweet tea (especially if you're doing no carb like me). I do it all the time. Wendy's chili and KFC grilled chicken are high Protein packed fast food items

Sometimes at McDonald's I order the oatmeal made with Water instead of cream and no brown sugar. I just add splenda. They serve it all day.

At 9 months out, I have found I LOVE their grilled chicken club, minus mayo and bun. Lots of Protein. You can always just order it with no mayo and throw the bun away. Breakfast wise the egg mcmuffin minus the muffin is good too.

You did better than me. I had McDonald's once since my surgery, and I ate a full hamburger happy meal. Naughty me.

I think you did fine with a chicken snack wrap. As far as "healthy" foods go there, that's not too bad. It's not like you have it every day. You made a reasonably healthy choice on short notice.
