About McDONALD'S, Chicken McNUGGETS
McDonald's Chicken McNuggets are a fast-food icon built on chicken breast and rib meat blended with binders and seasonings, coated in a seasoned batter, and deep-fried. The result skews high in fat relative to protein, and there's essentially no fiber. The coating adds refined starch and significant sodium. Fine as an occasional indulgence, but the ingredient list is long and the nutritional profile leans processed rather than lean.
