Question

Which meal is healthier: McDonalds or KFC?

Answer 1

It depends on what food you are thinking about eating...neither of those restaurants offer many nutritionally good or healthwise  food. Go for the grilled chicken salad at MickeyD's, that might be your best bet.

Answer 2

if eaten onve in a while neither will do you any damage, however if you munch on them everyday then its heart attack city for you

Answer 3

none!

Answer 4

McDonald's Big Mac is 493 calories, large fries are 412!

KFC Wing/Thigh or Drum is about 250 cals each! I can eat 3 bits without any trouble! Plus fries, 383 cals for a large potion.

So looking at calories McDonald's wins (just about) but I would rather have a KFC every time! Yum Yum

Answer 5

I'm sure it would depend which meal you eat. But I convince myself that kfc is better because at least it's whole pieces of chicken. Of course you have to consider what conditions the chickens live in, but mcdonalds would surely have that plus all the extra rubbish they put in that mincer.

Both are evil though and if you're gonna go to a place like that, healthy option isn't a term worth considering.

Answer 6

go and buy some fresh vegetables.. cheaper and more healthy and better for you. what have you got to lose?  ronald macdonald and the colonel should be shot.

Answer 7

beleive it or not McDonalds because KFC make up for having healthy chicken breast by adding lots of rubbish to it and all the stuff they havbe in it equals to more than McDonalds

Answer 8

if u want healthy food eat fruit and veg

Answer 9

Answer 10

Answer 11

Answer 12

I say MICKY D'S cause KFC chicken is like eating a hanful of SALT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 13

McDonalds. because at least they have salads and subs.

Answer 14

It's a bit like asking which is better, being killed by a lion or killed by a tiger...both ways you end up dead anyway.

I haven't eaten at either place for years, however MacD's used to give me very bad indigestion and the taste lasted for hours (bleurgh), whereas KFC just made me feel like i had eaten lard.

Answer 15

Both are great for you!! Eat up buddy

Answer 16

I don't go to McDonald's, but i do eat a lot at KFC, i also admire their standard of cleanliness and staff training levels.....

Chef

Answer 17

NONE THERE BOTH FULL OF FAT,BUT I LIKE A MCDONALDS NOW AND AGAIN.

Answer 18

a pizza hut, a pizza hut, kentucky fried chicken and a pizza hut. sorry it was a song

Answer 19

KFC if you remove the skin, but then its just chicken and chips!

I would call neither healthy.

Why not ask "what is worst for you"

Answer 20

Both are just as good..........take the food, throw it in a bin and eat the container.......this will provide a good source of roughage.

Answer 21

if i had to pick i would say mc donalds cuz they have salads and ect but i like kfc love that chicken boy

Answer 22

neither, both are cooked in rancid, huge amounts of grease, get a life and cook properly

Answer 23

Both bad for you but I believe IMHO that KFC is the worse of the two. I read they use more trans-fats.

Answer 24

McDonalds

Answer 25

well it is technically mcdonalds as u can have a all veggi meal with a oj and its actually healthy (shock horror)

Answer 26

Neither is healthier, but if hard pressed, I would take McDonalds. KFC is disgustingly deep fried.

Answer 27

Bin the food and eat the packaging, it's much more nutritious.

And tastier too.

Answer 28

Watch the documentary "Super size me" and you will never eat fast food again    Both of the places mentioned has a great deal of fat in them.  The fat will affect your liver thereby increasing your liver enzymes.  It is also harmful to your heart.  If you have to eat "fast food" and many of us do.  Not more than one or two meals a week and eat healthy the rest of the time.  Studies have shown that all the fat and sugar has no place to go and is stored up in your body.  In a worse case, you may take in as much as one pound of sugar per day.  The amount of fat contained in a Big Mac will surprise and sicken you.  Even the salads are loaded with sugar.  The extra salt also will cause hypertension (high blood pressure).  Hope this helps.

Answer 29

McDonalds. Everybody should consume only a small amount of transfat a day. A recent study showed 1 individual meal at KFC has enough transfat for a whole week, while McDonalds has been working to reduce their transfat. Even though McDonalds is better niether is healthy.

Answer 30

That depends entirely on what you buy. Macdonalds have started to do things like frying chips in healthier oil (note the word healthier; still not healthy, just less unhealthy), and reducing the salt in thier foods. KFC do better quality food, and it's really good, but because they only sell deep fried goodness there is a high chance that there's more fat. If you go into a branch and ask then they will give you a sheet of nutritional values for all thier food, and in macdonals it's on the back of the tray lining sheet. Alternatively look online.

(personally I think that it's all so good it's worth the risk of a heart attack!)

Answer 31

As a nutritionist none of them are healthy....absolutely none!
