Mcdonalds grilled "chicken" ingredients:
Chicken breast filets with rib meat, water, seasoning (salt, sugar, food starch-modified, maltodextrin, spices, dextrose, autolyzed yeast extract, hydrolyzed [corn
gluten, soy, wheat gluten] proteins, garlic powder, paprika, chicken fat, chicken broth, natural flavors (plant and animal source), caramel color, polysorbate 80,
xanthan gum, onion powder, extractives of paprika), modified potato starch, and sodium phosphates.
The ingredients in a mcdonalds beef patty:
100% pure USDA inspected beef; no fillers, no extenders. Prepared with grill seasoning (salt, black pepper).
I think it's a far better choice to have the beef based on the ingredients. I would consider the chicken a frankenfood.
For anyone interested, McDonalds USA has a complete ingredients list on there side for all their foods (even the margarine)

Just quickly checked out the nutritional info. 0 carbs, but a fair amount of sodium, as expected in fast food. The seasoning ingredients contain some wheat based products that aren't quite induction friendly (and also include MSG and partially hydrogenated oils).
Although not optimal, this won't be a staple of my diet, but adds a little variety for when I'm on the road and gives me a little better option than the bunless burgers out there (McD, BK) which contain trans fats.
If you've tried this, I'm curious as to your thoughts...
