A Big Mac isn't a meal, though. The "meal" includes fries and a drink.
Few people would say that they are full after just eating a sandwich from a fast food restaurant - while I can't attest to the Eatsa bowls, I assume it is intended to be a whole meal.
- rayiner 11y agoFries are a side, and you can also get sides at Eatsa (300 calories for chips and guac). And if you don't find a big mac filling, you're probably not going to find 500 calories of quinoa and veggies filling either.
- untog 11y agoCan't quite believe we're debating McDonalds terminology, but fries is both a side and part of a meal. That's why they have "Extra Value meals", which include fries and a drink. A sandwich is never advertised as a "meal". Having never had an Eatsa bowl I can't be sure, but they certainly appear that they would be more filling than a burger - it isn't just calories that makes you feel full.
- rayiner 11y agoYou're the one talking about labeling. I think that's irrelevant. McDonalds will happily sell you a Big Mac by itself, and the question is whether at 560 calories that is more or less filling than a quinoa bowl. What's a "meal" and what's a side is a red herring. Someone who's going to order the side of fries isn't going to hold off on the chips and guacamole just because it's no sold as a "meal."
