Drwal’s burger is back at McDonald’s. The dietitian raises an important issue
A popular dietitian about the Drwal burger
I’m not a big fan of burgers, but I eat them from time to time. This year I haven’t had the opportunity to try Drwal yet, but maybe I will. The amount of calories doesn’t discourage me because I move a lot and I can burn it all without any problems. I’m more concerned about health issues. I decide to ask clinical dietitian Milena Nosek about this iconic sandwich.
“Oh, I haven’t eaten it and I don’t intend to,” she answered without hesitation when I asked whether she had tried Drwal yet.
— The burger that connoisseurs of this type of meals look forward to is certainly not even a medium-energy one. According to the network’s tables, in 100 g it has 287 kcal, which gives almost 900 kcal in total – notes the expert. – This is an average value because we offer slightly more developed options, called “double” burgers – he adds.
Milena Nosek says directly that eating such an amount of energy without providing yourself with the substances necessary for proper functioning is pointless. The dietitian does not deny the fact that the burger is tasty, but notes that it provides large amounts of saturated fats that are very harmful to the heart, brain and liver.
The biggest surprise, however, is the fact that “burger is a potential source of protein, fiber and complex carbohydrates it also provides approximately two teaspoons of sugarwhich is completely unnecessary in a savory meal.
The dietitian warns that Drwal is difficult to digest and poses a heavy burden on the stomach and intestines. In addition, saturated fatty acids, sugar and red meat negatively affect the intestinal microflora responsible for physical and mental health.
– I definitely say NO to this type of meals, because they do not bring anything good except a moment of pleasure and satiation – says Milena Nosek.
— Out of curiosity, once, maybe. Once a year is fine. However, I do not recommend higher frequency – he sums up.
