McDonald's Vs. Sodexo: Round 1

Below you'll find just a small comparison of Sodexo nutrition facts vs. McDonald's. I only chose meals that were a direct comparison.  I used the McDonald's nutrition information on their website and the information on the MyFitnessPal app as sources. I am in no way qualified or an expert on nutrition, but just used the information provided by each of these food services to write this post.

                    Protein: 29 grams                                             Protein: 24 grams


There were  plenty other eye opening Sodexo meals that I would have liked to share on here, but did not because McDonald's does not serve anything similar to it (1 meat lasagna square from Sodexo is 950 CALORIES...crazy, I know).  I'm currently working on doing a comparison of Sodexo and some other local fast food places, so stay tuned for those!
