To Upsize or Not

Since I was calculating the cost of food, here are the calories upsizing will do to your Big Mac Meal.

Normal Big Mac Meal
Big Mac - 520 Cal
Medium Fries - 370 Cal
Coke (21 Oz) - 200 Cal
Total = 1090 Calories

Upsize Big Mac Meal
Big Mac - 520 Cal
Large Fries - 440 Cal
Coke (32 Oz) - 300 Cal
Total = 1260 Calories

Conclusion, unless you are a bum who is trying to save money, the upsize will only add 170 calories (from fries & sugar) to your weight. If you are a bum, you should be eating at a hawker center and not Macdonalds.

P.S. To save money and still eat at Macdonalds. Bring your own water and order the McChicken for $2.
