🍔🚘 DIET HACKS: LOW CARB McDONALD’s 🤩

Are you trying to make better choices this year? Me, too! Here’s the thing, no matter how much planning we do, chances are, we’re going to end up at a drive thru at some point, so let’s be prepared! Here’s how to grab something at Mickey D’s without feeling guilty about it 😉

 

This year we are saying YES to the McNuggets! Why? Each little nugget only has 2.5 carbs!

ORDER: 4 piece nuggets
170 calories
10g net carbs
9g protein

Sauces can be tricky, especially when trying to eat low carb, but I got your back, sis!

YES to Buffalo Sauce (1g carb)
YES to Ranch (1.5g carbs)
No to Sweet & Sour (12 carbs)

If you love a quarter pounder, you can still have it! Everything but the bun is my secret here.
YES to Quarter Pounder w/ Cheese, NO BUN
Order it the way you normally would, sauce and everything… just no bun!

The original Big Mac is 520+ calories and 40+ carbs. With this “no bun” order, we are down to
360 calories, 9 carbs, and 25g of protein. She’s not a beauty, but when you go back to the numbers, she looks more attractive.

Same here with the bun on the McChicken. The regular McChicken comes in at 400 calories and 40 carbs! Yikes! If we get rid of the bun, we take this guy down to 250 calories, 9g net carbs and 9g of protein. It’s just as excellent without all of the carbs!

SKIP THE FRIES: Did you know 1 small fry has more carbs than 12 nuggets?! WOW! That’s right…. 3x 4 piece nuggets is equivalent to a single fry. I know what I’m choosing!

 

What’s your favorite dipping sauce? Comment and LMK! I love mixing 1 ranch with 1 spicy buffalo sauce (less than 2 carbs) for the double sized dip and it’s delicious 😍
