![]() ![]() A quick 20 minute walk a day is recommended exercise from any doctor. You can walk for exercise and it is not obvious what you are doing, it is not like you are dressed in your track gear and puffing and panting up the road for all to see. Ok so the easiest form of exercise that we all know about is walking. So what do you have to do in order to negate these calories? Total calories in a large Big Mac meal at McDonald's = 1,386Īs you can see that is almost three quarters of the calories I should be eating a day, crazy! In fact the mathematician in me says that it is well over 50% of the calories I should be eating the entire day. Now that is an awful lot of calories when you consider that myself as a 29 year old guy of average height and weight, who exercises only lightly throughout the week, should be eating approximately 2,000 calories a day in order to maintain my weight. Total calories in a regular Big Mac meal at McDonald's = 1,140 calories ! So what do you get in a regular Big Mac meal: The USA large is the Super Size that the UK had to abolish a few years back due to it contributing to the serious obesity problem that we have here. I just want to point out that the regular size meal in the USA is the same size as the large meal in the UK. What I also want to point out is what you would have to do in order to burn the calories consumed off. ![]() In this post I just want to simply highlight how many calories are in a Big Mac meal, their premier sandwich that probably sells in it's millions each and every day. Burgers and fries are just not good for you, no matter how much salad you put with them. ![]() You don't need to be a quantum physicist to know that this is not healthy, and that the majority of the foods that you will eat at McDonald's are loaded with calories. With this being the case it is safe to say that I have had my fair share of McDonald's in the past, and there are thousands of people out there who can say the same thing, and many who still eat there on a regular basis. I am just using them as an example as they are surely the most popular. Just to make this point early on, I have nothing against McDonald's and there were just as many Burger Kings, Wendy's and the like there as well. I lived and worked some twenty minute drive apart, and I would pass no less than 3 in this journey. However when I spent several months living over in America I was shocked at just how many restaurants of the fast food giant there were. Having been born and raised in England I have grown up being used to it, as there is one or more in every big town, as well as being dotted down every major road in the country. No matter where you are in the world (unless you are in the Arctic, dessert of jungle), you can't go more than a few miles without seeing the golden arches of McDonald's. ![]()
