Brin, no use they don't know how to interpret it as it relates to nutrition.

Not true. You scrape off the mayo and toss the bun and the calories and fat drop dramatically. I could eat 7 of those meals and not hit my 2200 calories per day.

OK Moss, How much of the fat and cholesterol do you actually drop off and then the result times 7 = how much fat and cholesterol?

1 tablespoon of mayo = about 8% of your daily fat allowance. So 8 x 7 = 56% of your daily fat intake.
1 tablespoon of mayo = about 1% if your cholesterol allowance. So, about 8% of your daily cholesterol intake.
There's no cholesterol in the bun.
There is 3grams of fat in the bun, which is 3%. So 3 x7 = 21% of your daily fat intake.
There's 6grams of fat in the dressing, which is 9% of your allowance. So 6 x 9 = 54% of your daily fat intake. I eat half of that, so 25%.
There's 7% of your daily cholesterol in the dressing. So 7 x 7 = 49%. Again, I eat half of that, so 25%.
So, to answer your question 102% of your daily allowance of fat is dropped and 33% of your daily cholesterol is dropped.
Here's an interesting website to see what's in what.

Since the daily requirement for saturated fat and cholesterol is Zero - what about the chicken, oh I know we can remove it also.

What's your point Don? We have to eat something. A salad with a cut up chicken patty, no mayo or bun and half the dressing is a much better choice than a Big Mac and large fries. I could even order the fat free dressing, but I don't like it and my health doesn't require it. My numbers are all where they are supposed to be and I eat fast food every weekday for lunch, and sometimes breakfast, too. My numbers weren't always good. In fact, they were bad. Several months back I made the decision to stop eating the red meat combo meals with fries, switched to oatmeal or cheerios for breakfast instead of pop-tarts, a banana at 9 instead of a donut, 2 cookies and a glass of milk instead of a bag of oreos and a quart of milk, one sensible portion at dinner, and cut way back on my sugary drinks, etc... My numbers quickly came back in line. I'm on no medication except a low-dose aspirin daily. If you eat fast food, you can usually get a much healthier choice if you mix and match items off of the value menus rather than ordering the combo meals. It can be done and you can still enjoy a meal at a fast food place without choking your arteries. :licking:

The tubes in the playland smell like feet and diapers.
