The weird stuff about Mcd’s

[Crimboisonitsway]

Anyone else think it’s just odd food at McDonald’s?
It tastes so bloody good…like magic good…what is in the mayo type sauce etc 🤷🏻‍♀️
But…why does it fill you up, then an hour later you’re hungry again etc?
For example, Burger King is good also, but it proper fills me up and feels like proper food, Mcds doesn’t but it tastes so good 😫

Doesn't touch the sides on me either. I so seldom get one but my partner loves mcdonalds so I have said I'd have one on the odd occasion she's ordered one. It is quite nice but seems very small gone in 2 mins and I'm always hungry again an hour later.

My dad works as an engineer in huge bakeries all over the place. Many of these places sell to their workers and contractors. It wasn't unusual for him to come home with a huge box of soreen or 20 boxes packets of M&S Bakewell tarts. One day he came back with about 200 burger buns. MacDonalds burger buns.
We froze them and mum intended on using them for meals, packed lunches and BBQs etc. Nope. They were rank. So unbelievably sweet that they only worked with MacDonalds patties. Trying to make a Dairylea sandwich or a ham roll was disgusting. That's when I learned that MacDonalds bread isn't edible unless it's served there.
And I still love a Maccy's. And as a farmer, I'm well aware of where the meat comes from.

Makes me wonder too. Maybe because it's all high carbs, white bun, potatoes etc., so there's sugar spike in blood. There are no veggies as well, except some odd slice of pickle or tomato.

The ingredients in the m plant (ignoring the meat) are way more UPF

I don't get really full when I've had one, so agree it's very unsatisfying. Part of it might be the type of bread they use, it's really light and full of air and must be full of preservatives - probably similar to the type of food they take into space. The only other factor is the chips which are also unsubstantial and mostly just fat with no flavour unless they are salted.

'It's not even food!! Nuts and seeds are far more nutritious!'

As a type 1 diabetic I find the waffles and the egg mcmuffin (without cheese) don’t have a great impact on me, no more than a home made chip would or a shop bought english muffin. The fries are okay for me as well, where as Burger King fries are a no no for me.

' It doesn't fill us up for long fir the same reason there companies enslave, torture and kill billions of animals every year.'

Do McDonald's cows come from special McDonald's torture farms? Because all the cows in the farms round here don't seem to be enslaved and tortured. They just sit about in the field eating grass.

YABU becuse now I want mcd's!

I think the weird thing is that people actually like it! I'm not a vegan or a food puritan , I like crap as much as the next person. But McDonald's really is revolting. Everything tastes as if it's been blended up and mashed into shape. The coatings are soggy and greasy, the nuggets are like the cheapest nastiest Iceland nuggets, the ice cream tastes like lard, the burgers are vile.

I take the kids as they like it, but I'm never tempted by the crap they buy.
KFC is so much nicer!

If I’m full after a McDs it’s because I’ve drunk all my Coke, which has then gone through me.

the ‘it makes your blood sugar high and then crashes so you’re starving again’ theory makes no sense for me anyway. I’m diabetic and I’m craving it again an hour after I’ve eaten it even if my blood sugar is still high

I love McDonalds. Truly. I have a McPlant. It’s just gorgeous.

I tend to fill full after a maccys but then I usually have double quarter pounder with cheese, 3 chicken dippers, medium fries, milkshake and an apple pie……

Ooh I love a McDonald's, the chicken nuggets and sweet curry sauce are something else.

Probably why it also tastes so good 🤣

Just reading this makes me want a quarter pounder with cheese. Drooling.

Yes, your whole daily calorie intake in ine meal. One hour later, starving.

I rarely fancy a McDonalds purely for that reason. Just not worth the calories! Tasty at the time but by the time I get home and put the shopping away (mine is half an hour drive away) I'm bloody starving again! I think the buns are just full of air 🤷🏼‍♀️

Our bodies have evolved to eat and process meat, so you're wrong that "it's not supposed to".

However - most McDonalds meals are heavy on cheap white carbs and low on protein/veg, which is why you'll be hungry not long afterwards. Unless you eat something with plenty of protein, like a quarter pounder (30g) or 10 chicken nuggets (26g).

IMO the only weird thing about McDs is that people choose to eat it 😂

So disappointing, isn't it 😤You're getting ready for feast, and it feels like light lunch.

I love McD’s but I’m always hungry again about an hour after I’ve eaten. Tbf, I’m the same with all fast food, be it Chinese or Indian takeaway or other burger type places.

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