The energy balance model of obesity: beyond calories in, calories out

[Deleted member 21371]

So according to the local Macca's nutrition info, a Big Mac and small fries comes to 12.6g satfats and 1,200mg sodium.

I follow the AHA guidelines - 5%-6% of calories from satfats, so at ~2,500kcal per day that's about 14g; and no more than 1,500mg sodium. So the Big Mac and fries would be most of my daily allowances, while deficient in a bunch of vitamins and minerals, and fibre.

The AHA guidelines may be more hardcore than they need to be, but still ...

I noticed yesterday, the "double big mac".
Four beef patties.
but still around 15g of saturated fats, and 2.8g of salt, or 1120mg of sodium.
The UK seems a little bit more food friendly, 18.8 and 1350mg in the Australian versions.
