How about a "I have no idea" option? SC is getting mad at me for not choosing an answer, but...

And this is relevant to me in what way?
**jjg: OK, despite my doging, I'm curious...what is it?

The answer to your question is "No."

how about 'no I have no clue and I don't feel like guessing, I know it is bad for me because I have a health conscious friend who heckles me at every opportunity.' or even a choice of 'I don't care how many calories it has, it is tasty, so quite bugging me.' did you hit a nerve? maybe....

I know it's bad, but not how bad. I picked the highest number for that reason.

That is totally revolting. I used to be able to eat that much fat in one sitting, but .. ugh, not anymore. I still eat a fairly large amount of calories compared to the mostly bogus US RDA of 2000/day, but I have a pretty high metabolism.

I just guessed. I used to know. McDonalds had a booklet available that had nutritional information on all the products they sold. I was surprised to find they weren't as bad as I thought they would be.

I thought it was more than that. But then, I don't know jack about calories.

*** bill: actually, the 360 calories is for a small shake... Figure about triple that for a large (I'm not sure if the shake sizes are the same as their soft drink sizes) and you're heading for 2000 kcal.

Where's the "I don't know", or better "I don't care", option?

*bill: something is wrong in your calculations about the shakes. A gram of fat is 9 calories. If something has 80g of fat (as you say the small shake has), it has to have at *least* 720 calories...yeah, I checked your link, it should be 80 calories from fat, not 80 grams. The small shake has 9 grams of fat.

But it was a yes or no question! Anyway, I can't abide the shakes. Those things are NASTY!

A Big Mac is 560 calories and 31g fat;
Large French Fries is 450 calories and 22g fat;
Large Shake 1080 cals and 27g fat(*).
Total 2090 calories and 80g fat.
(This information furnished by http://www.mcdonalds.com/food/nutrition/index.html )
* We're assuming a large shake equals 3 smalls (a Small Shake is 360 cals, 9g fat)
lelle, elijahblue thanks for the corrections.

I don't eat at McDonald's, so I don't care either way.
