Eat McDonalds every day and not get fat?

[jake87385]

I just wanted to share a theory with you guys and find out if I might be on to something.

Basically, I've been thinking about what I eat more because of some stupid new years resolution and I came to the conclusion I could eat McDonalds every day if I counted calories and fats and salts and everything else so I never exceeded my guided daily amounts.

Am I on to something here or would you still gain weight regardless?

As long as you burn more calories than you eat, you'll lose/maintain weight. Find your TDEE and don't exceed it then you won't gain weight

But you'll probably have a heart attack 2 weeks into it.

I was thinking something similar with the heart attack I'll be honest, and with burning more calories than you eat, how does fat and salt etc factor in to that though? Because surely you can eat 1800 calories a day and have 200% GDA fat and gain weight?

Well obviously not having a well balanced diet would cause a load of other issues :P

[Alkaz]

If you don't exceed the calorie intake, you will probably exceed the daily limit for sugar, salt, saturates etc which would be just as unhealthy as putting on weight.

Nevermind your health THINK OF YOUR WALLET MAN YOU'D BE POOR

Only after reading that back did I realise the stupidity of it :D

It's physically impossible to meet your gdas equAlly because of the salt and saturated fat content. You may not necessarily change in weight but health problems like anaemia and strain on the heart will affect you.

Just a normal idk lets say for example a Breakfast Double McMuffin wouldn't push you above on sugar or salt or anything though, I drink water and sugar free drinks only so I would be ok for sugar, for anything else surely it'd be a case of watch what else you eat and dont go mental?

True, I might start working in Mcdonalds, problem solved lmao

How would it become impossible? I know you'd be getting a large chunkof the GDA in salt and suchlike but it'd still be achievable unless im missing a point

Because in order to meet suitable levels of nutrition you would need to eat lots of different things and the menu is largely high in saturates so u would be tipping the scales on say, carbs or salt, in order to meet recommended amount of protein. There was a guy that lost weight eating mcdonalds after that supersize me doc but I think he also excercised and he certainly wasn't healthy afterwards

Ohh I see what you mean, I saw supersize me too. But he ate every day for every meal, I only meant eat 1 item a day from Mcdonalds and (i believe) every item they serve as a meal/value range contains less than 70% of your GDA of every nutritional thingy, mcdonalds balanced with various fruit and veg and fish and proper meats and such shouldn't cause too much harm in theory

[Inseriousity.]

If only this was possible lmaoooo.

[Sian]

Please watch the documentary supersize me.

He didn't necessarily put on a load of weight, but the amount of crap in mcdonalds made him severely ill, and addicted to it. Just realised Kyle said that.

Even if you have just one meal a day, it won't be good for you. Just eat a balanced diet, slightly smaller portions maybe and exercise regularly (mixture of cardio and weights is best apparently? As your body can get used to the same cardio and won't burn anymore calories then usual).

I'm pretty sure I read something somewhere of a person who kept eat Mcdonalds everyday and put weight on, but after an extended period of time the weight started to drop off him. It looked good but then he realised that his body started rejecting what was in the food and ended up poisoning him.

So yeah, just work there and have a big mac now and then.

More importantly, why would you want to? McDonalds is nice if you want to pig out on salty goodness, but a good home cooked meal wins every time.

Will answer your question, it's not healthy.

[Joshirin]

you'll become skinny fat, at least.

let's say you won't have a nice aesthetic body
