7. How many calories does a Big Xtra meal has (with regular Coke)?

Ans: c. Sandwich 500, medium Coke 220, medium fries 360, total 1080 calories. The Coke and the fries together actually has more calories than the sandwich.
So, here is my usual McDonald's meal:
Junior Chicken Sandwich (380 calories), a side salad (40) with 1/2 package of vinaigrette (30), and a Coke Zero (1). Total: 451 calories. Less than half of the Big Xtra meal I used to eat. This meal is balanced, and is cheaper than any regular combo offered at McDonald's!
