Once its gone it is gone. -------------------- Terri He is in a happier place.

Like Terri said, get their Happy Meal and eat only what you need. You shouldn't rack up too many calories that way.

I ask for BBQ sauce because although it is high in sugar, it is low in fat and I am already blowing the whole carb thing by eating bread (BTW - I don't do low carbs, ever) ! Anyhow, I order a side of apples with it since they offer those with kid meals. I top it off with a bottle of water. The whole meal is only about 6 grams of fat which is pretty good for McD's! --------------------

Alliebelle & Mommy Group: Moderators Posts: 7,658 Member No.: 378 Joined: 9-March 04	There are lots of ways to deal with this...#1 when you get the kid's meals, opt out for the apple slices instead of fries for them..that way if you're like me and tempted to sneak a fry or 8 from them, well..the temptation isn't there. Wendy's also ovffers manadarin oranges in any of the meals instead of fries and also they have a great new fruit bowl as a meal! All of that aside, you can also order a burger and take the bun off..or a grilled chicken sandwich! -------------------- NICHOLE Wife to Rick and Mommy to my 3 loves..Tanner, Braedon and Alexandra MiaBella
