The weird stuff about Mcd’s

Personally I have to disagree. Having generally only been to McDonalds after a night out previously, I succumbed and went to one for lunch recently. This one was also a drive through, and I regularly pass the congestion it causes on the main road with cars queuing, when on my way home. The food was so bland and depressing, I actively thought about the wasted calories as I chomped though my sad little burger. I think there's much better and more satisfying food out there for the same price.

Keeps me really full but then I do go for 20 nuggets just for me, with chips as well and maybe a milkshake. I'd be impressed with anyone hungry an hour after that.

Funnily enough I've never actually eaten a KFC. I don't get the appeal of fried chicken. I feel the same about sushi though. Just, blah.

I get the shits about 15 minutes after each McDonalds without fail. Still eat it though

Because it’s ultra processed.
i always wanted another filet after my filet meal for this reason.
I don’t eat it any more.,

Numerous complaints the 20 nuggets doesn’t come as a meal.

Tbh I don't hate that idea.

YABU - McDonald's has really gone downhill imo. Had a cheeseburger yesterday and it tasted like crap, make me feel bleurgh and unsatisfied in every way.

Had a Whopper the other day and it was great. BK & KFC > McDonald's for sure!

Burger king not macdonalds but before I went veggie, I always have a horrible sore stomach the day after Burger King. The veggie version doesn't do that though so it must have been something in the meat patte. Unfortunately I hate macdonalds veggie burger so I've stopped eating there. Going to miss the bacon double cheeseburgers but hey-ho.

I'm like that with Burger King.

Since I gave up smoking I can't eat MacDonalds Big Macs as I don't like the taste any more. But I still like KFC or even better the spicy wings they sell in the small fried chicken shops.

It's funny isn't it. I'm simultaneously starving and bloated-full an hour after eating McD.

I reckon it's an evil combo of too many calories while also feeling undernourished (so craving 'proper food').

Still love a bit of junk food every so often though.

BK bacon double cheeseburger is lovely but seems to lie in my stomach for about 12 hours after eating. I don't eat McDonalds because I hate the way they throw up Drive Thru restaurants on every random bit of land near a main road.

Ultraprocessed rubbish and bad for your body. The processing (adding lots of chemicals) is what makes it get digested too quickly and that's why you are hungry after an hour.
it's basically not good for your body for your

Yes,I swear they put crack cocaine in the sauces!

It's definitely different to other burger places like Burger King with the not leaving you feeling full feeling - I still think it's down to the weird bread, strange texture of meat (all mushed up) even though their website says it's all just 100% meat, and the chips being really lightweight too.

Full of sugar maybe ?

I bloody love a McDonald's but am starving again fairly soon !

You know what? I don't actually give a shit what's in it to make me want more, or that makes me hungry not long after. I like it. It's not part of a healthy balanced diet by any stretch if the imagination. It's cheap, tasty (to me) food that is on the same level as a bag of Haribos or a slice of cream cake. I eat it for a treat (omg that sweet curry sauce and nuggets!) but it's not a decent meal.

The problem is, foods like that can be a bit... not exactly addictive, but can encourage kids to become fussy wee shites who won't eat anything other than battered chicken meals. You gotta watch for that and nip it in the bud.

If you want it, have it but do it in moderation. I love to cook healthy meals from scratch most of the time but if the family and I are in the town (hour away from rural village) then Maccy's or KFC are a given.

There's nothing special in MacDonald's food that is any different to other food of that sort. Burger King and similar restaurants will have a similar nutrient and ingredient profile. Fries are just potatoes fried in oil wherever you buy them- high in carbs and fat. The bread is highly processed white bread and the beef is just beef - but fairly high in saturated fat. Add to that some processed cheese- high in salt and fat, some mayonnaise- again salty and oily, ketchup and a token bit of onion, pickles lettuce and tomato. Anyone saying MacDonalds gives them whatever effects but Burger King doesn't ????

It’s all down to MSG. The same additive that’s in Indian/Chinese food.

How on earth can it all be down to MSG? Not all junk food has MSG. And according to their website none of McDonald's food in the UK contains it.

I'm sure I read something that said it's not just the temporary sugar spike from junk food that makes you get hungry again more quickly, it's that it doesn't contain enough of the nutrients your body needs, so your hunger is triggered because you're still seeking those nutrients. That might be bollocks though

It does make you wonder why so many food restrictive children ( and young adults) will only eat this type of food.

McDonalds doesn't have MSG in it
MSG is just a flavour enhancer, I use it in home cooking sometimes

Triggered.

Can't believe some people or their DHs eat more than one meal or multiple burgers in one sitting at McDonald's - that's pretty greedy.

McDs completely ruins my digestion. Cannot eat it anymore as it totally fucks me up. Bloat, constipation - bleurgh
If I had a choice it would be Burger King - although we now have a Wendy's in our town.
But, I have not eaten Wendy's since I was about 19 (very long time ago) so I can't comment now, but it was ace then.
Most takeaways so disappointing, so don't waste our money
