They make a variety of burgers. The smallest, one patty one is not a Big
Mac. It is a hold over from the original McDs sold for something like
19 cents in San Berdo in the 50s. They also have a one cheeseburger
of the same configuration, it costs about 1.5 euros in Paris. This is
cheaper than the usual more complex ones, running over 3 euros and
their giant versions which are even more expensive.

The cheeseburger runs 295 calories, the simple hamburger 249.
A Big Mac runs 485

http://www.weightlossforall.com/mcdo...ories-list.htm

So a simple burger, the smallest fries and a coffee might get
you 500 calories. A Whole hog menu will put you over 1000,
or half you daily permissible calorie intake.

I carefully avoided saying Big Mac.

How do I eat a smaller portion of their smallest burger?

Where's the nutritional break down of their salads, carbonated drinks,
and mayonnaise? It's interesting that it doesn't give salt content
too.

http://www.mcdonalds.co.uk/

Gives much more - salt content and a break down of everything they
sell

Depending on how much exercise I take.

Cut it in four parts, eat one and throw the rest in the bin.

or take the short cut and throw it all in the bin.

BTW did you ever try to cut a McD in 4 with a plastic sugar spatula?

How do you cut down your intake of calories by 1000 a day.
Keep out of McDs :-)

If you are going to throw it away, don't buy it. Save money AND calories !

You don't have a Swiss knife on you all times ?? I do.

I have an old German Bundeswehr Swiss Army knife with a saw on it. I
hadn't thought of using that.

Big breakfast 93% of daily value
Caesar salad dressing 17% of daily value

Note that American portions at McDonald's are much larger than those at
European McDonald's.

You don't, but if you eat only a burger, it's not that many calories.

A McDonald's burger, hold the bun. Now there's a satisfying meal :-)

Yes I know I've eaten in both. The McDs US site is far more detailed
than the European site.

Why is every column zero for the soft drinks on the US site?

It's a bit silly wondering why people are obese if a breakfast and a
dressing are equivalent to 2200 kcalories.
