MCDONALDS MEAL CALORIES

1) What is the effect of this diet on Cate’s weight after two months? Will this effect carry on and on? Explain.

-Based on the different possible types of meals that Cate might eat everyday after her training, she is consuming much more than the amount of calories she needs daily. This will definitely affect Cate’s weight in a negative way. However, this effect on her weight will only carry on if she continues eating a meal of McDonalds after every training. This is because she exercise regularly and she would be able to burn off the fats that she gained. Research has shown that the basic rule to lose weight is to eat less than the amount of calories you are burning. 

2) Companies sometimes tempt the consumers by offering a bigger portion meal at a very low price. However the consumer might not necessarily need the bigger portion meal but will still end up buying it as it is more value for money. Explore the difference in the effect on Cate’s diet between a standard and an upsize meal over the same duration as in Q1.


-The upsized meals in McDonalds have more fats, calories, carbohydrates and protein compared to the standard meals. Consuming upsized meals makes Cate consume more calories than she needs when compared to the standard meals. Consuming more calories would cause a negative impact on her weight.
