Good calorie/protein option at McDonalds.

I am not a McDonalds fan, at all.  Not before vsg, and especially not now.  Sometimes though that it the only option.  I was caught in rural Michigan for an athletic thing for my daughter, and literally only a McDonalds or the "Walking Tacos" offered at the concessions.  Turned out ok though, and it was a HUGE help that the calories were posted on the menu.

Side salad (20 calories)

Bag of Apple slices, cut up and put on the salad  15 calories

Chicken breast  90 calories, 20 grams of protein

Light balsamic dressing (half pack was plenty) 18 cals

138 calories in all, good protein, and got some veggies in.  The portion was too much for even my larger stomach.

I wonder if you can order just a chicken breast?  I ended up paying for the grilled chicken sandwich just to get to the meat. 

Anyway, I actually liked the meal.  Good to have something convenient to get here and there.

 

Their new fish bites and the filet o fish without the bun are good too.

Nutrition info on the fish bites?

I go to McDonalds every couple of weeks. They have some fantastic options, really. Their website lets you customize the menu items. You have to go to the real website and not the mobile version. I get the grilled snack wrap and eat it without the tortilla. It is something like 120 calories and 14 grams of prot. Maybe around 2 carbs. I also do the mushroom swiss angus wrap without the tortilla. I cant eat the entire thing at 10 months out. This one is around 190 calories/19 prot/2 or 3 carbs. The chicken snack wrap is around $1.50 and the angus one is $1.79. Cheap eats with pretty darn good stats.

Yes...you can order just the chicken. They actually have a key on their register to do it. You want to order it as: "a la carte grilled chicken patty". Here in Vegas they charge $1.00. I get that when we go.

Oh goodness that is cheaper than what I paid by far!  What a waste of $4 on the grilled sandwich in retrospect!  Thanks for the tip, because now the whole meal just costs $2.50- great deal!

I was there today. I usually get a honey-mustard grilled snack wrap and then use the wrap like it's a paper covering and peel it off and throw it away. It only 100 calories so it's really a snack and not a meal at this point in my life but I can always eat all of it which is not true of the grilled chicken sandwiches.

I'm so not a McDonald's fan. Never was. The other day I needed breakfast so I stopped there I got an egg McMuffin hold the English muffin. They tried to sell me a biscuit instead. I told them I can't eat bread. It was pretty good. Egg,cheese, & Canadian bacon. All high protein without the carbs. 

You can order just the round egg or tri-fold egg for about $0.60.  Breakfast meats tend to upset my sleeve (anything smoked/cured).

When I  don't have time to make coffee at home I have ordered the large coffee $1, and asked for an extra small coffee cup and lid, then I put half my protein shake in the small cup, fill it up with coffee from the large cup and fill the large cup back up with the rest of the protein shake.
