Now I don't feel guilty eating a small burger every week :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-986246904487454060.post-6084928932352234302010-03-05T21:24:57.617-05:002010-03-05T21:24:57.617-05:00I do think fast food once a week can be made to fi...I do think fast food once a week can be made to fit into a healthy lifestyle. You just have to make sure you plan the rest of the day to fill it extra full of fruits, veggies, and whole grains. I checked out the big kids meals. I honestly forgot they had them! Out of the "big 3," it looks like only McDonald's have those as an option. Happy Meals run between 380 - 700 calories and the Mighty kids meals between 480 - 840, depending on your choice of fruit, milk, juice, fries, etc. The only difference is a bigger burger: 2 patties instead of one, 2 slices of cheese instead of 1, or 6 nuggets instead of 4. Some active, older children kids will be able to handle those extra calories and grams of fat in one meal, but many won't. Those meals may be for the days the kids have the heavy Tae Kwon Do work outs. Otherwise, extra calories would be better spent on fruits, veggies and whole grains, and leaner choices for the rest of that day. It's all about balance. One thing is for sure, the marketing of those Mighty kids meals really worked, didn't it?The Mind-full Motivatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11209691941042496109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-986246904487454060.post-75001819999157260622010-03-03T19:13:02.789-05:002010-03-03T19:13:02.789-05:00I'm a bit bummed too.

I know some parents who say never, others say once a month, but I seem to be the only once a week parent.Cell Sites Within Our Rightshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17652570874658115284noreply@blogger.com
