Carbs in McDonalds McChicken

So Many Choices - What's a Good Dieter to Do?

Have we got some great tips for the McChicken sandwich! When ordering, ask your server to go light on the spread.

It's Mayo-based and you can slash a significant amount of calories.

Mayo and other creamy bases often consist of eggs, either the whites, yolks or both in addition to added oils.

The oils may be animal or vegetable-based. Healthier ones include peanut, canola and extra virgin olive oil.

Adding Vegetables Adds Nutritional Values & Offsets the Acidic Impact of Your Meal

Ask your server if you can have extra lettuce on your chicken sandwich as well. I like mine piled high - but local restaurants won't oblige without charging extra, so when I can plan ahead I carry my own small bag of lettuce leaves from home along with fresh sliced tomatoes.

Adding Shakes to Meals Shakes up the Caloric Values

We've also included the nutritional values for the Eggnog Shake. I'm always tempted to order one because I love eggnog, particularly during the holidays and cold months of the year. It's so rich! And yes, rich in calories and fat, too. Unfortunately, I'll have to pass on the Eggnog Shake at McDonalds. It's too steep to comfortably fit into my weight management plan.
