“I would order a large Coke, regular Oreo McFlurry, a large fries of course. And also a double-quarter pounder with cheese.
“All of this just for my lunch totaled 2020 calories. I would have this on a daily.”
Emma explained that she no longer buys McDonald’s regularly because it makes her feel unwell.
She continued: “But when I do go my go-to is Coke Zero, a medium fries because you have to get McDonald’s fries when you go.
