5 McDonalds Menu Items Under 300 Calories




When on the road or in a rush, grabbing a quick meal is sometimes unavoidable. So if you find yourself having to stop into a McDonald's, here are five menu options under 300 calories. ;)
*Hamburger
This hamburger made with a 100 percent beef patty, pickles, onion, ketchup, and mustard all on a toasted bun contains 250 calories. Add a slice of American cheese and the total becomes 300 calories.
*Chicken McNuggets:
A six-piece order of Chicken McNuggets contains 280 calories. That works out to about 46 calories per nugget, but doesn't include the dipping sauce. Barbeque, honey, or sweet 'n sour sauce adds an additional 50 calories per container.
*French Fries
A small order of fries contains 230 calories. If you up your order to a size medium, the calorie amount jumps to 380. Yikes!
*Salad With Grilled Chicken
You have two salad options under 300 calories. The Bacon Ranch Salad With Grilled Chicken contains 260 calories. The Caesar Salad With Grilled Chicken contains less at 220 calories. Neither includes the salad dressing, though. Tack on 100 calories for Newman's Own Creamy Southwest dressing, 190 calories for Creamy Caesar, 40 for Lowfat Balsamic Vinaigrette, 60 for Lowfat Italian, and 170 calories for Ranch dressing.
* Fruit 'n Yogurt Parfait
For breakfast, a snack, or dessert, enjoy a Fruit 'n Yogurt Parfait made with blueberries, strawberries, creamy lowfat yogurt, and granola topping for just 160 calories.

Yummmy!! I don't think we have that Kinda salad in our Menu yet! but we do have other salad selections which can do the trick, (The tuna salad is good). As for the Fruit 'n Yogurt sure does look DELICIOUS! I'm a fan of strawberry Yogurt esp in the mornings, and just out of the blue trick to make you guys eat less during lunch, have a yogurt any kind you like before having lunch an hour or half an hour before your meal..it will make you eat less!

So go and Have a Happy Meal!
