I was sent a $5 McDonald’s Gift Card from Klout to use to
purchase any of my favorites from McDonald’s.
One night, my boyfriend and I decided to head to McDonald’s and I
originally went in wanting the grilled chicken ranch McWrap but upon arriving I
was told that they didn’t have any grilled chicken. Weird, right?
So, instead of driving well across town to the other McDonald’s, I
decided to just order the Deluxe Quarter
Pounder without the normally added cheese and mayonnaise. The Deluxe
Quarter Pounder is a newer addition to the McDonald’s menu.
Low and behold when I got home, I realized my sandwich was
without lettuce, and mustard but it did have a helping of bacon (which I kindly
removed and discarded). Since I can’t
eat burgers plain, I added a little ketchup and mustard onto my sandwich and
ate it as such.
I have to say it’s not the greatest thing on the planet, but
its okay for a burger you’d order from McDonald’s. I wouldn’t run out and order
another one, but if in the future I was in the mood for a McDonald’s burger and
I wanted to make a meal out of it, I’d probably order another … of course
without cheese and mayonnaise but I’d ask for an extra helping of veggies.
It is hefty on the points plus scale. The sandwich, sold as is (with cheese and
mayonnaise added) is 540 calories which calculates out to 14 points plus
values. The sandwich as I ordered it
(without cheese and mayonnaise) was 440 calories and 11 points plus values.
Granted, as I admitted high particularly when you can have a
bigger (and essentially better) burger at home – but if out on the go and
McDonald’s is the chosen fast food joint and you want to be one in the crowd,
it’s an option. Just as anything in the world is.
QUESTION:
Have you tried any of the new McDonald’s Quarter Pounders?
