I like to live a little now and then, but I gotta say something

When I was a kid I sometimes went to McDonalds and got a double quarter pounder w/cheese, a large fries and a large vanilla milk shake.

Double Quarter Pounder w/Cheese, 770 Calories
Supersize Fries, 610 Calories
32 oz Triple Thick Vanilla Milk Shake, 1140 Calories

Total Calories = 2520

That's a whole day's worth of energy. Each item could be a meal all by itself. But I used to wolf them all down in under 20 minutes. If you want to stay fit and presentable, McDonalds is not for you.
