Maybe Burger King or something.. I dunno.

Have you seen the book called "Eat this, not that"?
:/ It's weird.. it's like.. if you're in a mood for a hamburger.. they compare different fast food restaurants..
Like a Big Mac is 540 calories but a Whopper is like 720 or something like that.
 
They are very wrong, McDonalds themselves say a Big Mac is over 1,500 calories. A whopper according to Burger King is worse. Or just slightly better.

Where did you hear this? They put nutrition information on all their boxes now. Plus they have the flyers now .__. Where the heck did you hear that it was 1,500 calories?

A Big Mac is about 540 calories, plus a butt load of sodium. The real problem is when this is combined with fries and a sugary drink (which could very well top 1500 calories). Long story short: proceed with caution.

Yeah ._. It's the fries that are a killer, too! So much sodium/salt .__. It tastes so good, though.. but that kinda stuff you should only be having once in a while if at all. @@;;

And you can always go for diet soda instead of regular. Some people might not be willing to, but it isn't a problem for me since I prefer diet.

Does anyone remember the movie Super Size Me? There was a guy in that movie who ate like 5 Big Macs every day, and he was still really skinny.

Ah, someone else who prefers diet! <3 I hate the taste of Coca Cola, and I can just about bear Pepsi, but I'll take Diet Coke/Pepsi and Pepsi Max any day.
 
There's a definite difference in taste between regular and diet varieties of sodas, but in the end, I really have no preference. I drink whatever's available.

I can't tell the difference between diet or regular but since diet is healthier, I choose diet.

Um.. Diet drinks or sugar free drinks are not healthier, yes they have less sugar but there is an overuse of caffine and chemicals in them to substitiute the sugar. In some studies also it has been proven to lead to weight gain.

Diet sodas have aspartame though @@; And like.. if you've heard of people who try dieting by drinking diet stuff.. and then going into mad withdrawal when trying to get off that stuff.. it's horrible..

and yeah I've heard studies like that, too, xxemeneminyxx .__.

I don't drink cola with caffeine. Also, it is healthier for people who have to maintain blood sugar, according to my doctor. And I believe the key words are "some studies." Ever since I switched to diet, I have not only lost weight but I have had a lot more energy. And I reiterate the fact that I don't drink cola with caffeine.

I have never had any withdraws or cravings when cutting out diet cola from my diet. o.o; Maybe that's just me?

Yeah weight gain is for some, but by and by Diet is way unhealthier!
 
Best way in my opinion (and my approach) is I eat whatever I want (in moderation of course) and just continue to workout like normal. So long as you stay active and continue to burn calories and fat and keep your lungs and heart healthy, you can eat whatever you want.

Of course though, moderation is a huge key in that method.
 
I don't really care about which one is healthier, but I find that Diet tastes nicer on most occassions.
