As the size of the average American’s pant grows, there are more and more people becoming health conscious. One of the most popular diet’s is the Weight Watchers diet. The Weight Watchers diet allows you to eat anything you want as long as you only use a certain alloted amount of points. For those of you on the Weight Watchers diet, these are the points alloted to different fast food hamburgers.
Keep in mind that hamburgers from fast food restaurants are never going to be great for you and they are never going to be a low amount of points. If you must eat hamburgers it’s probably better to make them at home where you can use the most healthy meat, buns and can have something better than french fries to go with them. But often we stop at fast food restaurants because we don’t have time for anything else. You’ll probably dip into your extra bonus points if you eat any fast food hamburgers but here are the point values for some of the more popular fast food chains.
Weight Watchers Diet: McDonald’s Hamburgers
Most people will assume right off the bat that McDonald’s must be pretty awful for you. McDonald’s had a documentary dedicated to how unhealthy their food is.
