Dietician shares what she eats at McDonald’s to stay healthy – ‘Wins every time’

Sometimes it can be hard to stay healthy when you’re eating out. Especially when it comes to fast-food restaurants.
While many places now include the calories in their menu, sometimes it can be the same old thing, such as a salad, that you might want to give a miss.
But one dietician has shared what she orders when she goes to fast-food giant McDonalds with her kids.
She added that her children love the fast-food chain and that she has limited options to choose from for where she lives.
Kelsey Kunik RDN, who is a registered dietician posted an article on Eat This, Not That! to explain that while she “doesn’t recommend McDonald’s every day” it can be part of a “healthy diet.”

However, she has found three items which could be a good option to pick from the menu.
Kunik recommends this item as a “solid breakfast choice” which is “filling and “satisfying.”
Kunik wrote: “This is similar to a breakfast I would make at home, with just an English muffin, egg, cheese, and slice of Canadian bacon. It’s relatively low in sodium, with just 33% of the recommended daily value (DV), has 17 grams of filling protein, and even offers 3 grams of fiber.”
The McDonald’s breakfast item comes in at 310 calories.
Next, she recommends this sandwich for lunch or dinner and says it “wins every time.”
She said: “ Nutritionally, it has enough protein [26 g] and calories [470] to keep me full for several hours and has just 5 grams or 27% DV of saturated fat, which is pretty impressive for a fried sandwich.”
However, she mentioned those who are trying to lower their sodium intake may want to be careful as it takes up 50% of the recommended daily limit.
Finally, the dietician included a dessert as her last item on the menu.
Kunik added: “It’s just enough to satisfy a sweet craving without adding unnecessary calories, added sugars, or saturated fat.”
