McDonald's Amore meals should send a shiver down anyone's spine.

I noticed the McDonald's Amore advertising and honestly, I can't believe how irresponsible McDonald's are being. Taking a meal which should be enough for a single person and then encouraging them not to upsize, but to add two additional items. That's a huge kilojoule hit.

However, for the bargain hunters, you may wish to consider ordering an Amore meal where one person has the usual meal and a second person has the smaller meal such as a cheeseburger, chips and share the drink. That's a saving and whilst McDonald's packs a lot of kilojoules into their meals which isn't good for the waistline, at least your eating a little more sensibly.

In terms of watching your weight, if you do eat McDonald's, it is better to downsize if possible. I often say watch those chips. If you upsize a cheeseburger meal to a large with a diet coke, the most kilojoules aren't in the burger, but the chips. Few people pay attention to kilojoules packed into the chips. In fact a large chips contains more kilojoules than a chicken burger. Watch those chips.
