‘Serving sizes’ are absolute nonsense. They are always wildly out of step with reality. Only reason they put it on there is so manufacturers can claim “our product isn’t bad, it only contains X calories per serving”.

Meanwhile, they put serving sizes fit for ants on packages that clearly aren’t meant to be shared and don’t reflect reasonable consumption. For example, a serving size of three jelly beans is silly by any stretch of the imagination. So is putting ‘serving sizes’ on a soda can. And a sleeve of Oreos? One cookie is a serving. Yeah, we all know that’s not how you eat Oreos…

Horrified Subway Execs Assumed People Were Buying Footlongs To Share With A Friend

During many Olympics, Usain Bolt sustained himself on nothing but 100 Chicken McNuggets a day, because they have a really optimal Carb to Protein ratio and are very consistent (whereas strange new food in foreign countries might be risky).

So, you're just eating like one of the world's best athletes.

That's why the US is so obese. I don't eat junk food. I liked the nuggets when I still ate meat and smoked weed in high school. Even with the munchies I couldn't even eat 10. And I live in The Netherlands so they are much less unhealthy (less fat, less sugar, better quality meat) then in the US.

I liked Chicken McNuggets when I ate meat, and then one day I learned that they have four pre-stamped shapes and something about that grossed me out so I never ordered them again.

They don't call them "Serving Suggestions" because they're mandatory, they call them that because they're a challenge.

I'm not a mere mortal, I'm the eater of worlds and my hunger knows no bounds.

Meanwhile I've always been the one that takes the smallest possible meal at McDonald's, and would think that 5 nuggets with fries and drinks is just enough. In fact I hate going to restaurants in general because portions are always much too big for me. I can't usually take doggy bags, and I feel like I'm wasting most of what I'm served. I can't recall even finishing a plate in a (real) restaurant; there's always too much. I'm always like "oh it was really tasty but I can't eat much more!"

It's probably assuming that you're also getting fries, a drink and an ice cream cone each or something. That simply cannot be enough.

Problem: OP weighs as much as 3 bodies.

I'm barely people.

Lol when the 50 piece first came out. I was just eating those on my own and the boys would buy their own 50 piece. Worked great for the munchies and being buzzed.

Now I can't even do 10 nuggies. Age, man..
