Is a burger from McDonalds really any more fattening or less healthy than one you'd make at home?

1 Answer

Answer :

You have more control at home over the amount of fat content in the ground beef you buy, so the burger you make at home could be less fattening depending on the ground beef you buy, how you fix it and how big your burger is. Also with fries, it would depend on what you fried them in. Canola oil should be a bit healthier than vegatable oil. Not sure what kind of oil McDonalds uses.
