My pals at McDonalds have unveiled their latest attempt to look like they have more nutritious menu items - The McWraps. I hope you weren't on your way to go get one because I have some information you need before you go.
The Grilled Chicken one has 460 calories, 16 grams of fat of which 6 is saturated fat, and 2400 mgs of sodium. So that you know, that is a full teaspoon of salt which is almost twice what they recommend now.
The Crispy Chicken and Bacon weighs in a 600 calories with 30 grams of fat - 8 saturated, and 1420 mgs of sodium. You can see the bad stuff balance at work here. Add fat and you can reduce the sodium.
The Grilled Chicken Sweet Chili is the best bet at 360 calories with 9 grams of fat -2.5 saturated, but it still includes 1040 mgs of sodium. If you get it Crispy the calories are 520, fat 22 and 4.5 and the sodium up to 1200.
They should call these the McCraps instead.
You can do better at home in minutes. How hard is it to pick up a rotisserie chicken, some tortillas and lettuce? Make a quick little vinaigrette and use it sparingly and you get more benefit for less money and protect your food supply a little.
Be very well and more soon....
