    So if the only food they have is too high in calories, eat less of it?

    It’s not difficult.

      Calories aren’t the problem. Nutrition is. No doubt you’ve heard it said that it’s important to eat a balanced diet. If you can’t afford to eat anything other than McDonald’s, only eating two meals a day total instead of three is not going to put more greens in your diet. It’s just going to make you hungrier.

        It doesn’t matter how much McDonalds you eat, you’re not going to get a healthy and nutritious meal from it.

        So that point is irrelevant.

        Also I’m poor, I’ve eaten nothing but McDonalds for over a year at my worst and most days I eat cheap microwave meals or instant noodles. Surprisingly I’m not fat, because being poor isn’t the cause of it, eating too much is.

          Thank you for demonstrating my point. Eating less McDonald’s won’t make you healthier either. If you can’t get a nutritious meal once in a while, you’re not going to be healthy no matter how much or how little you eat or much you exercise.

          Also microwave meals are a lot healthier (and a lot more epensive) than McDonald’s.

            Healthy and Fat are not the same. You can be skinny and unhealthy, likewise you cannot be fat and healthy.

            Being fat is related to eating more calories than your body consumes.
