I know McDonalds is junk food, but...

Never eat a massive McDonalds and go straight to bed.
At least brush your teeth first.

A bag of mixed nuts would induce a food coma just as well.
 
Fast food is only disgusting depending on how much the cook gives a shit. I've had burgers that could go on an ad or the same burger from a different location that's a greasy, sloppy mess.

Its like a lullaby.
 
The only time I go to McDonald's is when Km taking a flight because compared to the other alternatives their stuff suddenly become not super overpriced - relative to the alternatives.

But it isn't good food.

Do you get a Soda? Same happened to me. But once I cut out the soda... I'm fine.

2 cheeseburgers, small fry. 5 nuggets.

Divide the fries into the cheeseburger+lather in ketchup.

Bbq/sweet and sour for the nuggets.

That's heaven right there. Maybe a few times a month.

I only order the 10 pc nuggets and a lemonade drink. Everything else doesn't seem to sit well.
 
I love McDonalds

But the last time I ate a Big Mac right before bed I literally woke up and vomited
 
For some reason the quarter pounder with cheese, no onions, is still my favorite burger. Even more than homemade or much better (objectively - ingredients, prep, etc) offered elsewhere. And yea OP, for some reason I can scarf down a double quarter pounder then sleep like a baby.
 
McDonald's doesn't cause stomach upset. It is highly engineered to avoid doing so in any way.

It's just very unhealthy low value fuel for your body.

Some of its pretty tasty as a treat though.
 
I almost never have stomach problems/pains with healthy food. Some vegetables on the other hand, I get rekt if even i eat a small amount.
 
Ever since I stopped eating fast food, sweets, chips etc. and keep my diet clean I only need 5 hours sleep on average despite hitting the gym almost every day. Often I wake up at 5am on my own and feel great all day long.

So what does that tell us OP?

Well, that's pretty rude.

McDonald's tastes good but its quality is bad. It's as simple as that for me.

It must mean that your heart is broken every week because you go to the gym so often!

This is too much food for one sitting. It's more than enough for two, actually. Cut down your portions and after a week you'll find that your stomach has shrank and you'll get fuller with much less food.
 
A couple of McDoubles and a six pack of Guinness used to be my insomnia cure.


It, er, wasn't the greatest point in my life.

When mixed with some junk food, yup, it was like Ambien.

Does beer not make normal people sleepy?

Alcohol in general makes me sleepy if I'm sitting around. But don't you wake up feeling shitty after having a six pack? Nowadays I get a headache the next morning just from having two beers, even if I didn't get a little tipsy.

Passing out drunk is a good cure for insomnia I'd say

Then that necessitates a hangover cure! Which one is worse to deal with? :(
 
I eat their grilled chicken salad and fillet-o-fish sandwich a few times a month. No sides except water. Never had any issues and its always tasty.

I wonder what the portion sizes are like where you live. When I went Pakistan years ago I remember the big mac being not so big. I think I was able to have 2 of em and that was when I was a skinny kid. Conversely sizes are huge in America so there's clearly a lot of variability in this which might explain some of the responses to this post.
 
I go there once every 2 weeks, and even though they keep having these new burgers that look great, i always order the same. 1 Big Tasty Menu, 1 Doublecheese and 1 McChicken. Of course, i drink Coke zero to keep down the calories count.
 
I think anyone who can pick up McDonalds, put it in their mouth, chew it and swallow it without immediately disintegrating is a miracle of science. You sound like Hercules to me.

I'm usually pretty good about keeping hydrated with water, so hangovers have never really affected me.


Also, my tolerance was pretty high because, yeah, like I said. Not a great point in my life.
 
It's good sometimes. Remember this is gaf, home of water drinkers, lovers of dark chocolate, people that are genuinely excited by green tea desserts, and those that have their systems sent in to a tailspin eating taco bell.

UK (I'm assuming) large fries are probably significantly smaller than US large fries. But other than that I don't think the sizes of specific food items vary. A Big Mac is a Big Mac.
