“This platform aims to empower our customers and employees to make choices that are right for their nutrition needs," Neil Golden, chief marketing officer for McDonald’s USA, was quoted as saying in a July 2012 press release. Sounds good, but dieters, be warned. These aren’t meals under 400 calories. Indeed, McDonald’s boasts that a single hash brown qualifies. Same for a cup of oatmeal. Under 400 calories? Sure. But filling and balanced? Hardly. How do we know? We’re all about the original 400-Calorie Fix, our eating plan that promotes eating 400 calories four times a day. It’s helped so many people lose weight, look amazing, and energize their lives. (See five before-and-after success photos here.) But these successes definitely didn’t come by making meals out of McDonald’s. But still, we were willing to see if McDonald’s actually does have any viable 400-calorie options for people looking for a healthy meal. So we sniffed past the tasty French-fried aromas for the truth behind the calorie count—and it’s fishier than a Filet-O-Fish. Check it out with our 10 McDonald’s 400-Calorie Meals—Exposed!
