So apparently McDonald's is rolling out a new "snack sized" McFlurry.
Sounds low-cal-ish, right?
Ummm...
The new McFlurry's 15 teaspoons of added sugar helps pack its 430 calorie bottom line. That's 7 calories more than you'd get "snacking" on a Snickers Bar and then washing it down with a can of Coca Cola.
With "snacks" like that, who needs meals?

I am actually gob smacked at this statistic - 15 teaspoons! Wow!
ReplyDeleteWith this, I dont' want to know what is in a full size McFlurry.
ReplyDeleteWow. They sure know how to get you addicted to sugar. Everybody would fair better to have a healthier food choice to snack on. Tsktsk.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I was excited that finally there was a smaller McFlurry, because I buy them sometimes. Thinking of the comparison though I'll be awfully sure that I really want one before buying.
ReplyDeleteA snickers bar and coke?
ReplyDeleteWow, that's great! Think of the gas I'll save with one stop shopping at the 7-11, once a week with 21 of each. SB&C, three times a day will be under the 1500 calories I aim for, so that means I can LOSE WEIGHT on this diet.
No fiddling with weights, calories, nutrition balancing, stuff I hate the taste of, taking a half day or more to calculate, shop, drive, unload, unpack, wash, chop, store, cook, clean, recycle, take out the garbage.
I could even have one 100 or so calorie snack each day. Yum. I'll deep fry one of them, and top it with whipped creme.
Thanks doc!
