well i started low carb (dukan) on Monday, then decided to go to Atkins on Tues and I have already lost 2.5lbs!! How good is that!!! YAY ME!

so I shall be continuing on with this. I will be slimmer!!

do you know where I can find the carb content for a macdonalds double cheeseburger, minus the bun? I checked the mcD's website but they only give the full burger details.

This is my menu for today:

B - advantage bar (so nice) + 2 x bacon medallions
L - 2 x double cheeseburgers, no buns
D - Not sure yet.
so far, 2 black coffees, 2 pints of water and 1 x diet coke.

[karum79]

Look what I just found! Its so good!

Bag a McMeal :: McDonalds.com

you can pick and choose the nV's of each part of the burger... sadly, a double cheeseburger with sauce etc is 6g each, and i had 2! so 12g gone for the day already

Off to a good start! Good luck x

Think most of the carbs in the burgers are in the sauce/onions/processed cheese etc...can always be wiped off!

Every time I go there I have 3 double cheeseburgers hehe

 

[LVLLM]

i dont understand that thing on macdonalds site? how do you seperate the burger from the bun on it?

 

[karum79]

yeah it is! there are 3g in the cheese alone! x

 

[LVLLM]

help how do you use that thing and see what the cheese is??

 

[LVLLM]

seen xxxx

 

[karum79]

When you click which burger you want and then go to the NV part, if you click the + then it expands. You can then untick the items you wont eat (ie bun) then click recluculate and it shows you the new total. It also shows you though how many carbs/cals.fat etc in each item that makes up the burger.
