Only 12 McGriddles to Go!


My radiation oncology nurse told me that I need to add more protein to my diet, that ideally an a.m. egg would boost my cell production and help my body endure radiation treatment. Well, for me, eggs equal a monster stomach ache that lasts for hours.
I must have been a chicken in a former life.
Weirdly, I can eat McDonald's scrambled eggs , so long as it is tucked inside a biscuit or muffin. I'm convinced the eggs are processed in some magical way which eliminates the chicken DNA to which one of my former lives objects.
Not a fast food fan. Dashboard dining? No thanks. But the McGriddle sandwich is really yummy. And, I get my shot of recommended protein. Problem solved, right?
Well, not exactly.
According to McDonald's website's nutrition information, that tasty McGriddle contains 420 cals, 1110g sodium (oh my God! Can you say, "water retention?!"), 18g fat and other stuff I don't want to think about.
Only 12 McGriddles to go!
