I love McDonald's!!
I have become a big fan of McDonalds.....their Southwest Salad to be exact. It has several pieces of sliced grilled chicken. It comes with a very nice slightly spicy dressing. The calorie count for that salad/dressing combination is 320 for the salad and 100 for the dressing. Total: 420
It will fill you up and the calorie count is half of what a double cheeseburger and a large fry.....950 calories....plus it's a whole lot healthier for you!!

Re: I love McDonald's!!
Bubbles, funny you should mention you don't have the McDonald's Salads where you live. Each worldwide McDonald's doesn't have the same menu and each country may or may not have all the items served in the US and some items are available only at selected countries. When you walk into a McDonald's in a foreign location expect exotic items which you may not have seen in your local McDonald's. Here is a list of items you won't find in the U.S.
INDIA
In India, selling of beef is prohibited (Hindus revere cows) so you won't find Big Mac's instead you will find Maharaja Mac, which is similar to Big Mac but made of lamb or chicken meat. They also serve a vegetarian burger not found in the US called the McAloo Tikki burger.
NORWAY
In fish-loving Norway, you can find McLaks, a sandwich made of grilled salmon and Dill sauce.
GERMANY
In Germany, you get most of the items find in the US plus they serve German beer, so you can have a Big Mac plus a Pilsner beer.
CANADA
In parts of Canada, they have a lobster item called McLobster, a lobster roll, the same sold as McHomard in French spoken parts of Canada.
JAPAN
In Japan, McDonald's has added many items catered to the locals such as Ebi Filet-O (shrimp burger), Koroke Burger (mashed potato, cabbage and katsu sauce), Ebi-Chiki (shrimp nuggets) and a green tea flavored milkshake. Some of these sound healthy; McDonald's can have similar items here and worldwide.
CHILE
In Chile, burgers are served with avocado paste; no ketchup is used in the burgers.
COSTA RICA
In Costa Rica, McDonald's serve rice. They sell Gallo Pinto which means rice and beans in Spanish.
GREECE
In Greece, burgers are served in pita bread not in buns; they have a Greek Mac, a burger made of patties wrapped in pita bread.
HONG KONG
This is another location, where rice is served. Hong Kong citizens get Rice burgers in McDonald's where the burgers are served between two rice patties rather than on buns.
ISRAEL
McDonald's has 3 kosher restaurants where cheeseburger and dairy products are not served because Jewish Law forbids serving "the child [cow/beef] in its mother's milk [dairy]." They have McShawarma, meat in a pita bread roll.
URUGUAY
In Uruguay, McDonald's has McHuevo (Huevo is eggs in Spanish), a regular hamburger but topped with a poached egg.
Interesting huh?

Re: I love McDonald's!!
Many companies use the Big Mac (or regional equivalent) to calculate comparative cost of living for expenses in different counties.

Well thank you for the compliment.......hey wait a minute......are you mocking me?
Well anyway, I do not actually enter McDonalds, I use the drive thru and I only buy the Southwest Salad. So there! I do not have any animosity toward any patrons or any workers at such establishments. I am a lover, not a hater!!

I agree, I like McDonald's coffee better than anyone else's. The only other reason I go there is for an occasional Sausage McMuffin without egg. Other than that, the ONLY time I will ever go there is if I'm on the road and there's nothing else around.

You are correct, as usual. Not tasty, not nutritious, but when youre in a pinch, it fills the void!
