No you cant. Also, you aren't getting a great macronutrient ratio by eating these fat filled things so it is basicaly a waste of money. Here is ONE McDonald's double cheeseburger nutritional breakdown:Calories

490 Calories
Total Fat 26g
Saturated Fat 12g
Cholesterol 85mg
Sodium 1220mg
Total Carbohydrate 38g
Protein 25g


For $2 I can buy a very top grade loaf of whole wheat bread. For another $5 I can get some nice deli turkey or chicken. Add another $3 for tomato and lettuce and I can then make healthy nutricious andwiches all week for a total of 10 dollars (+whatever money mustard costs). Not sure where you are shopping but you are getting ripped off kiddo . Oh, and you are getting fat by eating that McPoison Cheesburger.

*Edit* Here is the nutritional breakdown of the sandwich I just mentioned:
207 Calories
3.3g Fat
18.8g Carbs
24g Protein
800 Sodium

...In comparison, you could even add more food (hell, you could add another sandwich) and STILL be under the amount of calories and fat that you would be getting eating that McDonalds cheeseburger. I am confused why you wouldn't make an effort to eat this stuff over the McDonalds crap if you are actually wanting to be healthier.
