If a Big Mac Meal Has 1,130 Calories How Fat Will That Make You?

Would you still eat a Big Mac, medium fries and drink a medium soda if you knew it had 1,130 calories? Now people in NYC will see the calories before buying it as a way to hopefully slow the obesity rate.

Press Release From NYC.gov

Do you know how fat fast food makes you?

Very. Each fast food meal you eat per week makes you - on average - ONE and ONE HALF pounds heavier than someone who eats no fast food...

Reported in USA Today:

"People who eat several fast-food meals a week are significantly heavier than those who don't eat fast food very often, according to a study presented to the annual meeting of the Obesity Society."

No surprise. Still, wow.

Highlights of the study:

*The weight of people who consumed three to six fast food meals a week was significantly greater than those who consumed no fast food or ate one to two such meals a week.

*Every additional fast-food meal during the week was associated with 1+1/2-pound increase in body weight.
