10 Best New Restaurant Meals


#7: Best new food at McDonald's

McDonald’s McNugget Happy Meal with mini-fries, apples, and low-fat milk

Right now the average Happy Meal has just over 500 calories. Starting in September, the average meal will be closer to 400. The reason is this: McDonald’s recently unveiled a plan to replace half the Happy Meal’s fries with fresh apples. To put that in perspective, if you could cut your child's intake by 100 calories every day between the ages of 8 and 13, he or she would enter the teen years more than 50 pounds lighter. That’s the difference between a normal-weight and obese teenager.

Not That!
