McDonald's has a nutrition calculator that tells you cals, etc. for each ingredient in the sandwich. For example, the bun is 170 calories of the 520 calories in a Quarter Pounder w. Cheese.

Yeah, but I'm not looking at that calculator while I'm ordering -- just the grand total.

Goddamn, I love me a carnitas burrito. I know they are north of 1000 calories but, damn, I don't care. SO GOOD.

If it's any consolation (?), I think they only went up to 918 or something (each item had a range).

Man, now I am craving McDonald's. My mind is super suggestible.

I just ate a giant burrito, and man, those calories were WORTH IT.

Me too!

And a cookie.

I had McDonald's yesterday, AIwFG!

Well, for a Big Mac w/Fries.

So, remember the article about the 400 calorie cookies at Starbucks?

If that's what they currently are, they've gone down by half since I worked there, just FYI. McDonald's is a bargain on that scale.

(From our nutritionals then, which can't be that different really, the only things under 500 calories were bran muffins, plain croissants, and baguettes. They have a few smaller things now that might be okay, but the other muffins, scones, and especially the cookies are waaay beyond what you would anticipate.)

was this where the Baggu discussion began last week?

And now I see that Chipotle was called out in last week's Times article.

I just ate a giant burrito, and man, those calories were WORTH IT.

I'm sayin'!

Also, I didn't notice that was the McDonald's Canadian site, until I read this:

McDonald's buys and serves the same wholesome foods our customers use at home, supplied by brand name companies Canadians know and trust. Essentially, we shop where you shop - our shopping basket is just a little bit bigger. It has to be when you're serving millions of hungry Canadians every day.

Hilarious.
