If there is, take a list home. If not, try to obtain one from the internet.I found a detailed nutrition information online. It allows every customer to go onlineand check the information of what they eat. 11. If you were to make the same meal that you consumed in the restaurant at home would it be the same nutritionally? Definitely not. I will not fry my Fish patty, use lettuce and get rid of cheese if I have to make the same meal that I consumed in the McDonald’s.

I will bake my potatoes and drink juice with my sandwich. 4© Department of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences, University at Buffalo.
