Diet expert reveals best thing to order at McDonald\u2019s to lose weight Forbes MagazineIf you\u2019re trying to shed a few pounds but don\u2019t want to say goodbye to your favorite fast food spot, we\u2019ve got all the info you need for your next McDonald\u2019s order, according to a dietitian. Knowing what to order at restaurants can be tricky when you\u2019re trying to lose weight. Often, people assume that you need to forgo some of your favorite fast food joints altogether \u2013 but this isn\u2019t necessarily the case. Dietitian Kristen Carli, owner of Camelback Nutrition & Wellness, shared her go-to order when visiting McDonald\u2019s \u2013 and it might surprise you. \u201cThe best lunch order for weight loss is the McDonald\u2019s Classic Burger with a side of apple slices and an unsweetened iced tea,\u201d Carli wrote. \u201cOpting for a basic burger, such as a McDonald\u2019s hamburger or cheeseburger, provides protein and some carbohydrates without excess calories from cheese or mayo. \u201cChoosing apple slices as a side adds fiber and natural sweetness without added sugars or fat. Selecting unsweetened tea keeps your drink calorie-free and helps you stay hydrated. This meal provides a great balance of protein, carbohydrates, and fiber, which can help keep you satisfied while managing your calorie intake,\u201d she explained. The meal came in at only 250 calories, but still contained 12 grams of protein which Cari said was \u201cyour BFF for weight loss\u201d and the \u201csuperhero of nutrients.\u201d McDonald\u2019s themselves also have a handy section on their website that gives you a list of all of their meals that fall below 600 calories. Some of these include The BBQ Chicken & Bacon One \u2013 Grilled Meal, McChicken Sandwich Meal, and the Filet-O-Fish Meal.
