You especially want try healthier options if you want an order of fries. The medium size contains 380 calories. But if you must satisfy your french fry craving, order the kids size which only has 100 calories.


There are also many salad options at McDonalds that have a fairly healthy calorie count.

To go with breakfast, the iced coffee's are very hard to give up so if you have to give in always choose the smaller size.
