Yes it is fine. Just find out how many calories it contains and make allowance for in the food that you eat the rest ofthe week, still making sure that you get all the fibre and nutrients that you need.
So that on the other days you CAN stick to your plan. Eating one meal a day is unlikely to give you the calories and nutrients your body needs to thrive unless carefully planned.

In , they started selling apple slices, which helped triple sliced apple consumption in the United States, Business Insider reports.
And in , the chain added calorie data on its menu boards across the nation. The meal plan consisted of salads, egg whites, grilled chicken, and other low-calorie options.
I never have and never will count calories with an end goal of losing weight, but in this case, choosing lower-calorie meals was meant to prevent any Spurlock-like health issues during the week. Sort of. Egg McMuffins work like magic the morning after I've had a bit too much wine. There's something unglamorous about holding a McDonald's bag with grease stains seeping through it. Plus, when you're sober and eating McDonald's breakfast, you're a bit more aware about what you're consuming.
Like this mystery meat:. It's actually " extra lean " Canadian bacon, and regardless of the concerning white spots, I ate it anyway — because hello, BAEcon. Looks aren't everything.
For lunch, I bought a Snack Wrap with grilled chicken and a side salad instead of a side of fries. It was pretty sad-looking. While McDonald's salad isn't terrible, the lettuce isn't crispy and has a rubber taste to it. By Monday night, I was hungry, frustrated, and tired.
I didn't feel like I had enough to eat — and I didn't love what I did have. I went off the meal plan and had a Sausage Burrito for dinner, and it was a great decision. Second, it was cheesy and delicious. On Tuesday, I woke up feeling pretty salty — and it wasn't because of all the sodium. She also kept a daily log of her food and activity for the month of June Instead of the oversized double cheeseburgers and other fatty foods that Spurlock routinely ate, Nyree Dardarian was a bit more judicious in her food choices.

The extra non-McDonald's calories that she allowed herself each day might be used to consume a glass of red wine or a Corona Light beer -- items definitely not on the McDonald's menu -- or something else she was craving. At the end of her day McDonald's diet, Dardarian's results were completely different than those experienced by Morgan Spurlock.

Fast food is full of hidden added sugars, and these amounts are in stark contrast with recommendations by The American Heart Association AHA. For example, if you're starting your day off with McDonald's Big Breakfast with Hotcakes , you'll have eaten your entire day's worth of sugar and fat before noon.
Love a good McFlurry? It's a sugary monstrosity, equal to consuming seven of the chain's Apple Pies. And don't even get us started on soda, an inevitable part of the McDonald's experience for most. Another heart killer in fast food?
