Perhaps you should actually do your research before insulting people online when you have no idea who they are, their habits or their nutritional needs. In another comparison, a dinner of a 4 oz filet mignon (half of what most people would eat in this country for dinner) (420), a baked potato (110) w/1tsp butter (34), and a garden salad w/ranch (~170) comes in at 734 (what would be 26.5% of my daily calorie needs), so as a cheat dinner the McMeal isn’t truly that horrible. To put that into perspective, I could chug 9 light beers after dinner and still be only at my recommended calorie intake. Let’s be generous and say I snack on 300 calories in a day, even after that, the Big Mac and the Filet o Fish I’d be running at 904 calories under. You should also take into account the fact that some people don’t eat a large breakfast or lunch if I have an egg (74c) and an English muffin (134) with coffee (0c) for breakfast and a 6″ Subway ham & cheese (369c) & a bottled water for lunch, I’ve still got 2,194 calories I need to eat just to maintain my weight. That said, for an average adult male 990 calories isn’t exactly overkill by any means – it’s roughly 36% of what would be my daily calorie intake, so just over a third. Granted that’s only from the point of view of just calories, doesn’t take into account how overly processed it all is, the refined white flour in the buns, excess saturated fat from frying, etc. Those two sandwiches for dinner with an unsweetened tea would leave me with 1,781 calories for the rest of the day.
