What you are doing is having a sodium (salt) fix. The amount of salt in McDonald's is off the wall.
The salads are not that bad, but the insides of the rest isn't.....
You must find you are still starving after eating that way.
Is there any other option you can take other than that?
We also worked about 100 hours a week and that is what got me into trouble in the first place.
Unless you are making huge buck$, I wonder if it is worth it. If you are making the $$$, then you can afford to eat properly................

PS. At least you should be drinking loads of water daily. I mean LOADS !!!!!!

I would say if this schedule is temporary than it's probably ok for now. But if this is your "normal"... you really need to find a more nutritious alternative. Bagged salads are super easy (toss in some grape tomatoes and you have a basic McD salad right there). Precook chicken, burgers, steak, pork loin... it takes no time. I cooked up a package of drumsticks last night after I got home late. Set oven to 375*, dump chicken parts into a baking pan, put in oven 1+ hours... done. Seriously, it's that simple. Pork loin and oven roasts can be done the same way... just cook it way less so it doesn't dry out. There you have it. Salad and meat, just what you're eating at McD... but SO MUCH BETTER for you. And you don't have to go there to get it. Or pay for it. For what you're shelling out at McD for lunches, you could probably spend on you entire weekly food bill. The key is better planning... and a way different mindset about food. Think about what it does for your body first... and how it will help you reach your weight loss and health goals. Make it convenient to do. Plan plan plan. Precook. Pre-package. Get a bunch of cheap plastic containers and plastic forks. I've even used ziplock bags for my meat and salad meals (no dishes!!!). Put your dressing in a snack baggie and BAM... lunch with nothing to clean up later. You'll save a ton of $ and your body will thank you. You need better nutrition than McD crap, esp with your work schedule!

Gotta say I am amazed. A bit of cooking ahead will save not only money, but wastage too. It's the easiest thing to just cook up some food in bulk and take it with you wherever you are.
