Day 9 (83.1 kg - 23.0% Body Fat)

Weight and Body Fat
At last! My weight decreases! I've lost 0.6 kg!

But that's no suprprise to me. Even with McDonald's food only, if you eats less than you burn, you will lose weight.

Breakfast
As I had finished my antibiotics yesterday, I thought today I could try running again. So I did, but merely 3 km, to be sure that I won't overdo.

Once more, I didn't feel hungry in the morning, so I skipped breakfast. I'd really like to try the hotcake breakfast, because I've never had it before, but I'm going to wait till I feel hungry early enough.

Lunch
At 12.30, I still didn't feel hungry, but as I was near a McDonald's anyway, I tried the McChicken. Actually, I can't tell how it was, because I didn't notice it. I was reading the Straits Times while eating, and I noticed nothing particular about the McChicken. Usually, I do not go for the McChicken, and today reminded me why. To me, there's just nothing special about this burger.

Well - later I noticed that the McChicken has 510 calories. This is probably due to the mayonnaise and the breaded chicken. I would always prefer a Big Mac or, even more, a Quarter Pounder with Cheese. The have 20 calories more, but they are really great burgers to me.

It's hard to get the small fries as soon as ones compilation looks like a "meal". Because if you order a burger plus fries and a drink, they will suggest to make it a "value meal" - which makes it cheaper for you - and give you the medium fries, wich have 110 calories more. I mean you wouldn't have to eat them all, but for calorie counting I insist on the small fries ("regular" ist the official McDonald's term).

Afternoon Snack
Since I tried the Double Hamburger on day 5, I wanted to have it again. So this afternoon, I had it again, and again it was delicious!

Dinner
I had 6 Chicken McNuggets for dinner, and later enjoyed the Low Fat Strawberry Yoghurt.

Calories
According to my estimations, today I had a total of 1.548 kcal.
