Eat 500 calories worth of McD's, burn 600, a net loss.

True, but both I would argue are better than being over weight.
I much prefer salads (though I like protein in there as well) but I've yet to find a fast food place that makes a good salad and it becomes a matter of convenience. If your diet is too much work, I'd argue it has a better chance to fail, so while eating 100% healthy would be great, eating less is a very good start.
I also don't think there is anything inherently unhealthy about McD's. I don't think a little mayo is going to kill you can you can order it without. Its quite possible to get a chicken sandwich with just tomato and lettuce, which I would call healthy. Bland but healthy.
