McDonald’s: Can a burger from the Golden Arches be healthier than a salad?
McDouble Cheeseburger |
VS
|
Premium Southwest Salad with Crispy Chicken and Newman’s Own Ranch Dressing |
Verdict: The salad packs in 620 calories and more than 50 percent of your daily fat allowance, so take a pass. However, you can make it healthier by substituting grilled chicken for fried chicken and drizzling low-fat balamic vinaigrette dressing instead of Paul Newman Ranch. The McDouble keeps it simple, offering muscle-building protein, carbs for energy and a moderate amount of unhealthy fat, making it the option to pick. Nutrition Totals |
