McDonald's any good for you?

[CaptainWorkout]

I must say, I don't see why McDonald's isn't considered good for working out. You get copious amounts of protein for an extremely low price. Somebody tell me why not?

[SebastianMorar]

Too much fat in the hamburgers

[Bronzzi]

Too much sodium, otherwise good

[YoungArnie]

Processed food that is full of fat.. Can make a better burger exactly how I like on my George Forman

[Arc0n]

Good for dirty bulk

[LiftingTank]

How it makes you bloated could affect you also.

[FitnessFan76]

I wouldn't rely on Maccy D's for your protein intake - but every now and then can't hurt. If you can, go for one of the chicken choices; more protein and not quite as much fat.

[DdotT]

Mac Donald's Food is high in refined carbs, high in fat (trans (i think), saturated) and lacks any sort of micro nutrient profile.
The quality of the protein is probably extremely low as well.
Plus its not cheap anyway.

[tomleevis]

It's all processed food which means they are high in bad fats and sodium, stick to lean whole foods like chicken breast, turkey and maybe a few red meats to get your daily protein intakes

[Gaate]

There's more to take into account for than just fat, protein, and carbs. McDonalds is not healthy.

[stefanuus]

apart from the high sodium and some trans fats theres nothing wrong with it

Lift for 10 years eating mcdonalds and have another person lift for 10 years eating proper nutritious food. Youll see the difference.

[NitroStigs]

I actually eat McDonald's all the time. If you have Hugh metabolism, I don't see a problem with it. And I consider myself pretty damn lean for the **** I eat haha

[813lord]

I'm pretty sure McDonald's meat doesn't have protein in it, just a synthetic compound kind of like protein and some artificial flavoring..

[mowd]

IIFYM. But I still don't like the trans fats, preservatives and simple carbs.

[Tb0282]

Too much fat and sodium

You obviously don't know what a dirty bulk really is.

[WunSen]

[XClassic10]

keep it in your macros or cheat days and you're fine.... with that being said I still wouldn't eat it every single day. I gotta switch up my fast foods lol

'Healthy' is a bit of a useless word because it depends totally on the context of your diet.


Go to a desert island and try to live on broccoli while I live on Mcdonalds. We both know who's gonna die first.


If you ate mcdonalds for most meals then sure, it wouldn't be healthy. But I could probably have a cheeseburger every day and be perfectly healthy. The problem comes from the extent of moderation. 'Healthy' can be a meaningless word without context.

^^oh my lawd i've never seen so much stupidity on one place

OP there's nothing wrong with mcdonalds, all that matters is your overall diet

No individual food is "unhealthy". Only your diet can be healthy or unhealthy

[mightyillidan]

only good if ur bulking

[deeAvi]

some people take iifym too far. Trans fat is still bad, too much mercury is still bad. micronutrients are important for your health. not stuff you get from multi vitamin garbage unless you buy the expensive brands.

[brehbrah]

YOBO

You only bulk once

Everything is "still bad" if it's in excess

This. Everything in moderation.
