It's good stuff. I try and limit to a couple times a month. The app not only makes it cheaper but helps me not overorder/overeat. I order one spicy chicken biscuit about 5 minutes away and stick to it. It's hard for a fat body like me. But doing better.
My fat arse while working from home during covid would often eat 2 breakfast biscuits and a hashbrown.
Just more to hold onto

Just because he's alive doesn't mean he's healthy.

It was certainly implied that he ate breakfast. Why after 36 years of doing that would he suddenly go for lunch?

While you are correct about calories in vs calories out in regards to losing weight...you've mistakenly conflated "health" with "weight" just because you are thin or fat does not mean you are healthy or unhealthy.

If a guy has good genetics and eats mcd every day, he'll still live a long time, but he won't be what he could have been if he'd have eaten better. Also people will conflate the mcd with his genetics because people are stupid.

He’s 100. Healthy people die sooner than grandpa.
That’s about 20 years after people start saying, “Grandpa just turned 80. Dude is so healthy, he could make it to 100.”

McChicken (or whatever is pictured on there) or a Big Mac every day for 36 years.
Both of those sandwiches are less than 600 calories each. One a day will have minimal impacts on overall health.

Pretty tiny sample size to base your findings on I’d say.

The popular mantra that a calorie is a calorie is a calorie is correct from a physics standpoint as a measurement of energy, but not applicable to how organisms, in this case us humans, process foods. Just as you could say that gasoline and diesel both could contain an equivalent amount of energy measured in calories, try putting diesel in your gasoline engine and see how that works out for you.
A popular example is the intake of sugar via fruit, which also usually contains a high amount of fiber, versus a calorically equal amount of candy. You've consumed the exact same amount of calories, but the biological availability of those calories are significantly different.
Try cutting out added sugars entirely (which processed foods usually contain in abundance) for a month and you will absolutely melt pounds off even if you actually increase your total caloric intake by eating more.
I did this six months ago and went from 6'2.5" and 219 pounds to 190 pounds without changing my exercise regimen at all and eating more calories every day (I am constantly eating now).
For the sake of complete disclosure, when I say that I didn't change my exercise regimen at all, I didn't exercise before and I still don't. This is something I'm going to change because I now feel so much better and so much more energetic not carrying an extra 30 pounds around. I have to wait to get the okay from my doctor in a couple of weeks though because I'm an old frick.

There is a story out there of a high school teacher who ate only McDonalds for 6 months and lost weight or something along those lines. It is all about calories in vs calories out.
For weight, yes.

I swing by the neighborhood mcdonalds for breakfast once every month or so. Usually see the same 3/4 old people there every time. Honestly you could probably do much worse for breakfast alone then mcdonalds.

Them health Nuts out there(many OTers) view eating fast food as if you're drinking bleach in the morning.
It’s quite amazing. In any fast food thread, half the OT will proclaim to never ever touch any fast food bc they’re so healthy and it’s totally beneath them anyway.
The same OT that’s extremely wealthy and yet agonizes over a car purchase.

His cholesterol levels dropped 79 points
Iowa Teacher ate McDonalds for 3 months
quote:
Cisna adhered to a 2,000 calorie diet, followed the FDA's recommended nutritional guidelines, and walked 45 minutes 4-5 days a week, according to ABC affiliate WOLO-TV.
"This is what is astounding," Cisna said, "after 90 days I lost 37 pounds, my cholesterol went from 249 to 170."
Cisna says his daily meal routine started with two Egg White Delights, a bowl of oatmeal and 1 percent milk for breakfast. For lunch, he picked between a Southwest Salad or Bacon Ranch Salad with fruit parfait and apple slices. For dinner, he typically ate a value meal.
"I had french fries almost every day of this experiment," Cisna told WOLO-TV.
While nutrition experts say they aren't surprised by Cisna's results since he was picking healthy options, they don't recommend eating out day after day.

I eat breakfast there about twice/year and always enjoy it. I feel like it would quickly get into the diminishing returns theory if I tried it more often.
