A proper burger with decent meat is much better than a maccies burger though. Same with most other foods they serve.

Because you have no taste in good food.

If you can't make food better than a big mac you need to learn to cook.

Savage but true :biggrin:

What you’re saying can’t be true, I don’t claim to be any sort of expert but there are other things to consider such as diabetes. You can eat 1000 mcnuggets a day and burn it off in terms of fat, but the damage done to your body such as your cholesterol level can’t simply be burned off.

Sugar is only a risk factor for diabetes if it causes you to overeat and make you overweight. We have a plethora of data showing that there is no significant difference in many blood markers including cholesterol between a high sugar diet and a low sugar when kcalories are accounted for.
Here is a meta-analysis if you want to read:

I don't know why I can eat a whole plate piled up of chinese takeaway food and then get seconds, but if I make homemade egg fried rice or stir fry noodles I would eat less than half the takeaway amount and be full

Sugar is addictive and also maybe because having more calories in a evolutionary sense means living longer
I would argue that healthy food is much tastier

No

I prefer rice and chicken, rice with fish, rice with beef to mcdonalds. Everyone is different
