A huge majority of the US population looks up to McDonald's as being the cheapest, easiest, and most delicious place to eat, especially when in a pinch. So let's take a look at a McDonald's Big Mac meal.

1 Big Mac has 563 calories. 1 large order of fries has 510 calories, and a medium Coca-Cola has 220 calories. That makes a total of 1,293 calories just for one meal.

This article is here to prove that this meal is more calories than five huge meals all in one day.

Let's talk breakfast (the most important meal of the day).

1 egg (91 cal.) and 1 packet of quaker oats (151 cal.) equate to 334 calories. But who said you can't have a cup of orange juice (111 cal.) with this meal? That makes for 445 calories so far.

It may seem like a lot just for breakfast, but trust me, it'll all make sense by the end of this.

Now for Lunch.

On a cold winter day when you can't really prepare something for lunch, a Campbell's chicken soup seems like the perfect option (60 cal.).

But by the time mid-day comes, you're going to get hungry. If you're anything like me, your go-to snack is peanut butter. So let's say you have 2 tablespoons of peanut butter (188 cal.), with a banana (105 cal.) By now you are up to 646 calories in your day.

Who doesn't love a nice juicy filet mignon for dinner? Well for dinner, if you were to have a 3 oz Filet Mignon (227 cal.), a baked potato (161 cal.) and a cup of broccoli (31 cal.), and 5 fl oz of red wine (125 cal.), you would have consumed up to 1,159 calories in your day. STILL 134 calories lower than the average Big Mac meal.

So if those late night cravings start to come your way and you eat a cup of strawberries (47 cal.), a tablespoon of honey (64 cal.) and a cup of coffee with whole milk (23 cal.), you are FINALLY up to those 1,293 calories.

Realistically, wouldn't you rather all of these 1,293 calories rather than one meal from McDonald's? I know I would.
