Which $3 Fast Food Low Carb Meal Is Best?

I’ve mentioned having two $1 double cheeseburgers and a $1 side salad from McDonald’s as a quick low cost, low carb meal. It’s quite a value, they add lettuce instead of buns and put them in a container. Years ago when the Atkins diet was first on the scene I ordered the burgers without a bun and they actually did them with all the condiments and wrapped them in paper like a regular burger.

The other day I tried Burger King to see what the same money would buy. They have Whopper Juniors for $1 but no inexpensive salad. But since the Whopper comes with lettuce and tomato I decided to order three without the buns. Well instead of the 4 patties at McDonald’s I only had three. Though they put all the salad stuff in a container it was a bit smaller in total size.

Though the char grilled flavor of the meat was a nice change, but the $3 meal at Burger King was far less filling. Because we sometimes need a quick meal on the go, the challenge will continue to other fast food establishments.

I’m Going on The Atkins Diet… Again

I’ve done it before. I lost a lot of weight with it back before there were shelves filled with Atkins foods. The weight stayed off too, until I got lazy this past year and indulged like I was a teenager. I can’t help that I like great french fries. I’m not into sweets except for doughnuts and pastries. I love breads. So I have to enjoy them in moderation when I’m at a more ideal weight. But for now… they are off my list.

It may not be for you and you need to consult with your doctor before any diet. I did. He approved it for me. It was all the rage a few years ago. Then Dr. Atkins slipped on the ice and died of head injuries. Without the founder and because of severe market saturation of Atkins products, it fell out of favor. But I think it’s a great option.
