The best meal for me would be McDonald's because I watch my calories. I have to watch
my calories because I like to snack several times throughout the day and between meals.
By having a meal with the least amount of calories, I will be able to have more room to
meet the calories for my age range. My calories per day is 2,100 for a female my age.
