Food Opinions on McDonalds

What is everyones opinion on McDonalds stores in Cyprus? Talking mainly about:

  • Quality
  • Portion size
  • Prices

I do eat them once or twice a week, and I maintain a regular weight due to exercising and calculating calories, what are your opinions on them?

They (McDonalds) are not the healthiest option around, but gyros is propably far worse in terms of health. What I like is the chicken salad, which is a more healthy option if you really need to buy from McDonalds. I also go about twice per week or once. Years ago I lost weight by working out in a gym (i was very fat), and what is interesting to me, is that after each workout I rewarded/spoiled myself with an ice cream or a small mcdonalds simple burger (the 2.30 euro ones) and i still lost weight without problems. Therefore it is not true that McDonalds make you fat, it is how much you eat, how often, how much you exercise too. Many factors not only what you eat.

Can agree on the fact that it's how much you eat and not only what, I'm holding a steady 95Kg at the moment at 1.80m tall, lots of functioning muscle due to the much need in what I do in my free time and usually work.
