Tied for highest sodium of all—the salad.
A rare prime rib with horseradish sauce and mashed potatoes sound healthy in comparison..
I just had one of them, plus a McDouble and two pies for lunch.
F it.
I had a Double Down the other day... it was pretty good.
The Onion joked about unhealthy food items and created the KFC Nothin But The Skin Sanwich. I know I would eat one of those.
To say nothing about carbs — the big no-no under an Atkins diet. No bun = no carbs.
They average about 2200mg sodium, 45-55gr fat and 42-55gr carbs!
I don’t care what if there is worse, I WANT A DOUBLE DOWN NOW!!!
They closed one KFC in the next town over and built a brand new one up the street.
It doubled as an A&W burger joint.
It lasted less than a year and closed.
Now there is NO KFC anywhere around here.
Just when they introduce this new “Killer” product!
I am Pissed.
ARGH!!!
The extra 8 months of life you get from “eating right” will be served in a nursing home. Have fun with your extra time...
I’m so tired of these do-gooders telling me what to eat and what not to eat.
They can go to hell and take their fellow do-gooders with them. I much prefer that option to their current plan, which is to bring hell here.
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences.” - C.S. Lewis
They could make it better if they would give you the option of adding a 1/3 pound beef patty or a fried egg
I’m drooling over the possibilities (with extra mayo)
TT
At home, I have my own specialty loosely based on the McDonalds Egg McMuffin. I've never had it analyzed for calories, fat and sodium but I bet it would score high up in the charts. Here is how I put it together:
I split and toast English muffins and coat them with extra virgin olive oil. I then lay on top of them thick slices of swiss cheese, copious amounts of freshly cooked bacon and fried egg. If I have the extra time, I'll wrap in sauteed jalapenos and mushrooms.
Have lots of napkins nearby as they are messy to eat and very, very good.
The Egg McMuffin has always been one of my favorite foods. I'm not a big burger and fries guy (in fact I gave up burgers and fries many years ago) but I like my breakfast food. In fact, I try to make breakfast my biggest meal of the day.
The Egg McMuffin was perhaps the most astonishing contribution to American cuisine that any fast food restaurant ever came up with. Back in my younger (and fatter) days, I could easily put away half a dozen of those Egg McMuffins. But since I started making my own version at home, the ones at McDonalds just don't taste as good as they used to. And there is something just a little bit unnatural about that perfectly round portion of egg.
I tried the Double Down and thought it was pretty good, except for that weird-flavored mayo, which I had asked them to leave off, but they didn’t.
If you get the grilled double down, the calories would be less and virtually no carbs.
Quite frankly, even with the original recipe, it is hardly more calories than a BK double cheeseburger.
