7 days and kids want mcdonalds

I honestly have no idea. Something about fast food grilled chicken doesn't do it for me so I just don't eat it LOL I was 4 months this past August 16th and I had my first taco (crunchy) from taco bell two nights ago and won't be eating it again anytime soon. We eat out a good bit but I avoid the fast food as much as I can. Now I'm not criticizing anyone by me saying I avoid it. Fast food is just a slippery slope for me.

Unless I'm misunderstanding, the OP wasn't planning to eat at McD on this visit, just asking what one could have in the long-term.

I've thought of the grilled chicken sandwich with no bun, the chicken/steak wraps with no tortillas just eat the insides, and the English muffin Breakfast thing (sorry I don't know what it's called) without the English muffin, just the ham and egg.

Bluto started a thread about healthy fast food options that you might search for, since people had some great ideas for quick but WLS meals on the go.

Here's a link to that thread http://www.verticals...good-fast-food/ I don't think McD's got addressed but there are many other good ideas. The biggest issue with most of the fast food places is that the food is completely molested, just chock full of chemicals to make it irresistible and give it a 300 yr shelf life.

You eat grilled chicken at home, it's got one ingredient chicken (ok two because I like to put pepper on them) Here's the ingredients for the grilled chicken wrap:

Looking at the ingredients first can always make you reconsider things. Especially when you can't pronounce half of them. I'm about to be a month out, and have craved a burger but I just had a home made turkey burger took a bite and spit it out it just gave my taste buds what it wanted and I'm ok. For now.
