McDonalds finally has posted carb info on the menu. I'm
scared to think how many double quarter pounders I ate.

I'll take a salad, thank you.....

I've eaten MacDonald's Bacon Ranch salad with grilled chicken twice this
week as a meal ... I was happy to read on the nutritional info site that it
really is low-carb --  because it is delicious and very filling.  (9g
including the ranch dressing).  I wasn't really surprised at the extremely
high carb count of their other foods, of course (e.g., 113g carbs for a
supersized Coca-Cola.  Talk about a sugar rush!)

I was mildly surprised to see a section (albeit small) of their website
dedicated to low-carb conscious customers with recommendations for how to
order low-carb from the menu.  Their suggestions were actually sensible.  I
won't be surprised if they come out with a low-carb menu soon in order to
keep up with the Joneses (Or the Hardeeses?).

Those 39 gram leaves plenty of room, if you just want to keep under 100
gram per day.

Speaking of Hardees, does anyone know if any are still open in Southeastern  PA
area? The two or three I knew of in this area have been closed for years.
Thanks.

Oh yeah :) I'm not much online from home anymore. I'm going to the US
embassy
next week to get a Exchange Scholar VISA so I can go to California for 6
months.
Maybe then I'll have time for more NG'ing.

You apparantly have not eaten there recently. The Grilled
Chicken Bacon Ranch Salad has only 9g of carbs and is
quite tasty! Still, you've got a point - the salad is about the
only thing I would eat there......

I did not like my salad.   I thought the chicken was way overprocessed, did
not taste grilled, tasted more like they nuked it and dumped some seasoning
on it from a tub labled "grilled flavoring."  And the texture of the
chicken was kind of spongy.  And the bacon bits were way too salty, imo.  I
ended up throwing out the rest of my chicken after just one bite.  Now,
Chick-Fil-A's salad, on the other hand, that was darn good.

your are right: it's been years since i've eaten at mcdonald's.  even
when i did eat fast food i didn't care for mcdonald's, and when i did go
there i almost never ate their burgers.  if i wanted a fast food burger
i would go to carl's jr. or jack in the box ... but i don't patronize
any of them these days.  i am fortunate enough to be in a position to
make all of my own meals right now, so that's what i do.

i do think it's good that you can get a salad in most fast food places
nowadays, though.

If you just eat the meat, lettuce and cheese, the burgers are still very
low carb.

Wow, it's not as bad as I thought.  I hate mcdonalds for the most
part.  There aren't too many things they make that can be eaten
without being scraped first.  But I really like their saussage
mcmuffin with egg.  29 grams!  The hashbrown is only 15 also.  I was
thinking it would be a lot more.  I guess I can sneak those in from
time to time.

I rarely eat at McYuckkies anymore.  Ever since I gave up salting my
food over a month ago,  I find thier eggs and sausage way too salty
for me now.

You'd be better off counting the total calories and sodium of that
crap than worrying about carbs.

And you could perhaps pry off the half of the muffin that is not
glued on with cheese.

They've always had carb info on the nutritional page on their web site.

Try the "CUSTOMIZE THIS ITEM"... it's cool.

You can select "Quarter Pounder w/Cheese", and after you get the total
nutrition info for item, click the "custimize this menu item" link,
and you get little checkboxes to take off the bun, and any of the
toppings... I took off the bun, and ketchup and got 2 carbs, down from
the 30+ of the regular item.

What a cool feature, I wish more sites had it.  They even show the
ingredients breakdown for EACH PEICE of the sandwitch seperately, down
to what is the ingredients to the mustard, pickle, and "grill
seasonings" etc.
