A deep dive on the Golden Arches ( McDonalds).

Do you keep yourself naive to the nutrition content of takeaway foods? If you are eating out often, can you really afford to remain naive? We are here to help as we take a deep dive into Macca’s. 

We cover: 

  • Does health ever get considered when picking between options at McDonald’s? 

  • McChicken Burger vs Big Mac Burger 

  • How many burgers does it take to reach daily sodium limits? 

  • Calorie/kilojoule content of McFlurry vs Sundaes

  • How to make a health conscious move at McDonald's that doesn’t involve ordering a garden salad

One-liners you don’t want to miss:

“The sodium content of a McChicken Burger is about 900mg and a Big Mac a little bit more at 1000mg and we shouldn’t be having more than 2000mg of sodium each day, so - that’s half of your daily sodium intake” 

“The NZ adult population average for sodium is sitting at around 3600mg each day” 

We hope you enjoyed this conversation - for more podcast action, follow us on Instagram @up_statuss.

Do you have a guest in mind that you think would be perfect for the up_statuss podcast? (maybe yourself ;p) Let Steph know right here.
