I lost 160 lbs and still eat McDonald’s – my current order fits within my macros, I even get fries
A WEIGHT loss coach has revealed how she lost 160 pounds but is still able to fit McDonald’s into her diet.
She said the key is moderation and even shared what she normally orders.
Amber (@amber_c_fitness) divulged her advice in a video with over 770,000 TikTok followers.
“I’m doing this series to prove that it really comes down to balance and moderation,” she explained.
She explained that before she lost 160 pounds, she didn’t exercise her learned mindset and would eat an entire day’s worth of macros in just a single meal.
She revealed she used to order a Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese, large fries, a large Dr. Pepper, and ranch sauce to dip her fries in.
In total, her old order used to be 1,610 calories for just one meal, and she would continue to eat more throughout the day.
Now that she’s more health-conscious, a more recent trip to McDonald’s proved to be a learning experience as she was able to fit the fast food into her macros.
She revealed that she ordered a McCrispy, a small fry, and a large diet Coke, totaling just 700 calories: “It gave me plenty of room to fit in other meals,” she explained.
She added that McDonald’s has plenty of options that could fit into your macro budget: “It’s not about restriction, it’s about moderation and finding the balance between all or nothing,” she said.
People agreed with her, sharing their own experiences of how they managed to lose weight while still eating fast food.
“Yes, this!! I’ve lost almost 60 pounds and just changing the quantity of what I eat has been a game changer!” said one commenter.
“Moderation, not restriction is key!” she added.
