To feel disgusted with myself for just doing this

Went to a drive through before, ordered my Dd a happy meal and myself a Big Mac, Mcchicken sandwich, cheeseburger and coke. No idea why, just always wanted to order my favourite things and not do the meal thing. Generally always with Dh and would feel kind a pig in front of him.
I barely ever drink Coke either, literally only when I have a mcds or pizza, which doesn’t sound like it by this thread, but is pretty rare!
Whyyyyy 🙈it wasn’t even that bloody good, not like I imagined it 😫

Fucking hell did you actually eat it all? I can just about manage six chicken nuggets & a few fries

🤣 Gotta love MN and it's competitive under eating posts, they're always good for a laugh 😁

Anyone seen some of the delights you can get in other countries though!
We get shit everything variations here in the UK.
I follow( yes yes i do) food new items on Instagram and the stuff other countries get.

What do you get out of trying to shame the OP?

WiddlinDiddlin · 26/11/2022 19:39

A Big Mac is NOT 'already 2' burgers!

It has two patties on it.

So does a double cheeseburger or a double quarter pounder, they're still one burger.

Or would you call a Club Sandwich two sandwiches because its layered?

As for why, I can't speak for the OP but people tend to eat food when they are hungry, and if they're very hungry, they may eat a lot of food.

But in any case, those three burgers are a similar calorie content to a large mcdonalds meal and side, so it's hardly extravagant or disgusting!

Brutally.

What local delicacy could be used by maccies🙈
I think they do christmas themed atuff but the rest of the year?
Cottage pie sandwich? 😁
(I like british food but just can't see it maccies style)
Some cousines well lend themselves to it

Nandos double chicken wrap (perceived as healthy because for some reason wrap is healthy😂) is 700 cal without side or drink. Get chips and you are on same as OP 😁

VladmirsPoutine · 26/11/2022 19:52

@BosaNova It's true though - other countries' versions of McDonald's / KFC etc are far more superior to that of the UK.

BosaNova · 26/11/2022 19:54

@VladmirsPoutine I also think the quality is so varied. I had kfc from 5 different outlets in different cities (roadtrip thing so rare thing) and they were all soggy. Tried in few countries and especially NA and ME had it way superior and crispy.
I don't understand why!

Devoutspoken · 26/11/2022 19:57

Skylight- so if I down a bottle of wine, is that not considered binge drinking if its just once?

VladmirsPoutine · 26/11/2022 19:57

Tell you what though @BosaNova the portion sizes in the US are truly a sight to behold!! No need for x3 burgers Grin I'd watch a good travel blogger whose sole mission was to travel to the McD's of all the countries and rank them!

Apart from the US. Theirs is hanging and they’re the creators! Even Americans who have traveled say that every other dog try does their fast food better than them!

Devoutspoken · 26/11/2022 19:58

Toganymede - that's not competitive under eating, that's just a normal portion

Fucking hell did you actually eat it all? I can just about manage six chicken nuggets & a few fries but that amount of food !! I’d have been spewing my guts up; no wonder your asking it’s un reasonable; that’s the sort of meals the Tammy eats on 1000ld sisters on TLC 😂😂😂😂

Are you a small child? Or are you lying? Because it must be one of the two.

I assume you don't eat less than the equivalent of 6 chicken nuggets and fries for every meal.

Of course you do. The most you can physically manage, sure.

Yeah I’d consider 2 bottles maaaaaaaaybe a binge.

ive drank a bottle of Prosecco tonight though because our waters been turned off and why the fuck not 🤣

CaptainMalcolmReynolds · 26/11/2022 20:32

Those of you who are claiming you could just about manage a kids happy meal, what do you do if presented with a roast dinner? I presume you have a normal size meal? Or do you limit yourself to a sliver of meat, one roastie, a singular floret of broccoli and three carrot rounds? Is it just because it's "fast food" that you couldn't possibly manage it?

BosaNova · 26/11/2022 20:34

I would say it's by strengt. 2 bottles of prosecco an eve are at 10 vol? Rioja is 13.5. i think that would make difference.
Admittedly 2 bottles of red were my thing😂 It took about 6 hours though with food.
But for some that would be binge.

A friend and I drank 5 bottles with a cheese board one night but I was exceptionally pissed 🤣 binged on wine AND cheese because why not! Nothing wrong with the odd binge on something that’s feels good.

BosaNova · 26/11/2022 20:37

Like, I don't want to go to US because it's third world country with a gucci belt (so is uk now tbf) but a food tour is really tempting😂
I don't know how much I would love it from what i heard though. Not just that prtions are absolutely crazy, but Subway bread failed as bread in Ireland (iirc) because it has too much sugar to be considered bread. Apparently that is an issue in us for tourists!

BosaNova · 26/11/2022 20:39

Loool.
I have one night when there was 5 of us and 23 bottles empty in a morning. We have no idea who did how many but by the hangover I still remember 10 years later, it might ahve been me!
Eastern europeans partied and it got bit toouch even for us😂😂😂😂
She must have felt dreadful but with happy belly full of cheese.

Fatty food helps when drinking. Always eat cheese or something fried😉

I am an honorary Slav now according to my Russian and Polish friends. They are very proud of my drinking, eating and squatting abilities.
