Having worked in a McDonalds I can honestly say avoid the Fish Fingers...please. They’re rarely ever kept “in time”
I've had the fish fingers twice, the first time they were lovely so soft and moist with a lovely crisp outside and they tasted so good, the second time it was like what he says in this video and I will never buy them again, shame.
Always ask for them to be cooked FRESH!
In my old one we only ever cooked the fish to order because they were rarely ordered and then one day we had a busload of tourists who all wanted Fillet o Fish and we just had the one fish fryer. It was hell
Siddif that sounds like hell omggg
Heyyy, I'm work with McDonalds wanna make some friend who belong to this brand, i hope you see this?
As someone who's previously worked in McDonalds for a long time. Fish Fingers are one of the worst things you can order. They're ordered relatively rarely which means either A) They'll be cooked fresh when ordered B) They've been in their for the hold time (unlikely) or C) If someones not been paying attention they may have been left in for upwards of an hour (which is when you get gross dry/rubbery fish fingers).
MonkaGIGA any other tips or tricks?
Should definitely do a week on burger king and a week on KFC.
Ian Brookes KFC doesn't do breakfast so he can't
Inazuma Jags oh well. Should at least definatly do burger king. The mini hash browns are the best.
Ian Brookes Burger King would be good although for me it's pretty pricey compared to other places
Inazuma Jags but it's easily the best and most worth it.
Ian Brookes nah I'm a subway kinda guy goes
1st subway
2nd mc Donald's
3rd KFC
4th Burger King
I haven't had many breakfast items on either as I'm
Not a fan of food that early in the morning plus I'm lazy
A week on chip based dishes (e.g curry chip, taco chip, gravy chip) since you like chips aha 😂😂
Namjoon Kim Don’t forget chip butties!
Matt Exley fish and chip too 👌
What are “curry chip” and “gravy chip”? Don’t think they actually exist 🤗
Katie Bee Seriously? Curry and Garvey chips are the best...and I don't eat chips really maby once a month / 6 weeks.
Katie Bee oh wow my friend you haven’t lived yet!
I am just here for the Basil meows.
Next time, a week on Astronaut food!
That would be nice, it's a bunch of rehydrated stuff in vacuum packs. On the other hand cosmonauts get food in cans and tubes but I bet they share time to time
I'm in a nice hot bubble bath, drinking red wine, watching this video, and the boxing is on tonight. Fuck yeah
Red wine with a bubble bath? Everyone knows sparkling white wine goes with bubble baths. How uncouth.
Random American I don't like white wine. I apologise.
I thought you were a homosexual, but then at the end you mentioned boxing.
Dixie Normous That reply is hilarious bro I love it haha
Dixie Normous but wouldn't homosexuals enjoy the sight of well built men wearing nothing but shorts?
For the last time Mike; *MORE BASIL PLEASE*
At least he was in this video twice. Sometimes there are videos without him at all! Shocking ;-)
zh84 ah yes, the unspeakable horror that is an absentee Basil 😭
Yer need more basil x
F*ck Basil. :)
Why did you mention a Chinese takeaway? :P
I'm legit obsessed with this series. I started watching it the other day and thought it was really old, so when I didn't see a day 4 I thought he died. lol I didn't know that it just started
That disappointed face with the toy 😂 fucking hell pissing myself!
i dunno, the sight of you opening a happy meal after your wife drives you back from the amusement park cracked me up. playing with the toy, sealed the deal.
I hope you'll do A WEEK WITH BASIL THE CAT
I doubt there is enough meat on him for a full week
Whiskeyklone Noooooo don’t hurt the kitty 🐱 but I doubt anyone could catch him anyway 💨
Basil seems like to trust him so I suppose it would be quite easy to catch him and make a nice little stew.
Sirpesari Noooooo damn it don’t hurt the kitty 🐱
So maybe not eat the cat then. Perhaps he should do a week of buying different raw meats giving 10% to Basil and cooking the rest for himself with assorted veggies. This way we get to have more Basil with the additional humor of seeing Mike "cook" food.
"PRIZES: NOTHING"
Excuse you, you did get that amazing jumping bunny toy.
Haha your face when you pinged that Peter Rabbit toy 😂😂😂😂
Increase your calories. Eat more apples or at best ditch the salt, fat and sugar limits and just try to eat within maintenance calories, that would make it much filling and less of a hassle.
Omg I nearly peed myself when Peter wabbit jumped the disappointment on your face lol classic
Hates the fish fingers, proceeds to take another bite lol.
Yes i know that, i didn't miss it but he won't die if he didn't eat it.....If you hate something then don't eat it and wait.
Those were some well-framed roller coaster shots! I wouldn't have expected better from an official ad!
"The worst fish finger I have ever heard" lol 😂😂
As a diabetic, I must be mindful of not only sugar content of foods, but more importantly, carbs. Sure, the foods you're eating contain very little actual sugar sugar, but I would be much more interested to see the carb content instead. =)
You have quite a few things on your McDonald's menu that is not available in the US. We don't have a bacon roll and the wraps you've had for lunch have been discontinued in quite a few locations. I'm not shocked you have trouble with the salads though - I've found they are hit or miss and sometimes look like they've been hanging around for a few days.
How about a week on soup lol
Elicia he should do a week on liquids
You were brave for going to Alton towers on opening day of wickerman! The que must have been horrendous! How was the ride though?
@4:17 that's enough excitement for one day 😂
Next week, a week on memories
I've seen the odd video before, but strangely enjoying this series and seen every one
How are you enjoying it 😂😂😂 ur actually a freak man love it you haha never thought I'd hear u say u love McDonald's lol
I've really been enjoying this one! :D you will be at 100k soon!
Have you even been adding the place stickers and seeing if you’ve won on that?
BOLD PREDICTION: Day 5 will be uploaded tomorrow. Mark my words
You’re clearly lying, don’t make it that obvious, everyone knows it’ll be uploaded in 2 days.
Jubba the love sponge sorry for the giveaway
Daniel Gehring mark my words
Ha, ha, ha, I'm coming back tomorrow to yell at you for being so, so wrong!
Since you mentioned on the first video that the actual male calories intake is 2500, instead of 2000, maybe you should increase the limit to that one just for a day? Either Day 6 to see how you feel on the last day, or Day 7, to mark the grand finale of this journey :)
EDIT: I've realized these videos were recorded in advance, so my advice isn't worth much. Yeah, the bigger issue is the sugar and salt and every other intake, although there could've been some workaround for that.
He's not even reaching the 2k because of fat and salt allowances
There are other concerns here. He's also factoring in salt, sugar, fat, and trans fat. He's coming in below 2000 calories because he's reaching those limits first.
He's making terrible choices though. Instead of that happy meal he could have had a salad bowl with dressing and thrown three more chicken selects on the top and still been below on everything.
The only funny thing about this is that he should finish up a week of eating nothing but mcdonalds and have lost a couple of pounds.
BravoGorilla he is probably completely off on those limits then. Plus eating fat doesnt make you fat and eating a bit more salt isn't going to kil him.
Why is everything a journey these days?
Your disappointment at 4:19 was intense, to say the least.vfor a moment I felt I was that rabbit, and you were my father.
Nobody orders the Fish Fingers so they get left under a heating unit for literally hours. Just... don't with those.
Here McDonalds can't have food standing for more than half an hour... So if you order something unusual you generally have to wait a few minutes, but you get it fresh.
They are cooked fresh as soon as they’re ordered
I've been behind the counter and know what happens. The times have come down a lot. It used to be half an hour for hamburger and 1 hour for chicken and fish. Now it's 10 minutes for hamburger and 15 for fried stuff, and can still be 30 or more for some stuff. That doesn't mean it's always thrown away when the time runs out. It depends on the store, but some places will reset the timers several times to keep waste low, and I imagine that fish fingers are a low seller, so the management doesn't like the idea of wasting a bunch every quarter hour, even adjusting the amount on hand to the minimum.
I was instructed many times by management to waste less at the store I used to work for (left there 3 years ago). I don't ever eat there. The whole atmosphere there was to do it all any old how and make it to quitting time. Seriously, even simple things like First In First Out were fiddly details that could be ignored if you thought you were being blindingly efficient. Just across town (and closer to me anyway) is a store that epitomizes everything the manuals seem to promise in serving freshly cooked, good tasting food. I have almost never had a problem with them cooking food properly, selling food that was off or even presenting food in an unappealing way. I eat there regularly. If we had fish fingers in my area, I would be confident buying them from this store.
From my experience, this appathy can be a hard thing to change. Even with managers who know better, if the "veteran" crew dig in their heels and most of the managers were promoted from this lot, there's not much you can do, short of firing everybody and starting over.
I hear McDonald's is shifting to be more cook-to-order. This might help, but some places are poorly run, for whatever reason, and will end up hanging from a ceiling fan by their collective dicks no matter what.
-- Worked at McDonald's '99-'06 :) and '12-'14 :(
Jim Stanley any tips or tricks on what to orfdf
So you ARE from York/area! I'd recognise that A1(M) sliproad any day of the week.
Yeah fish products are kind of a hit or miss kind of thing at McDonalds. At busy times we usually store them in what we call the UHC (I forgot what that stands for) and they usually sit for quite a while because they're really unpopular and hence become really dry and unpleasant to eat. If you order them at a time when it's not busy, you will have to wait for them to be cooked, but they're made to order so they're usually the freshest items to eat. Fish fingers are still terrible compared to something like McNuggets though.
Do you only check for instant wins or do you keep the other stuff as well in case you get a matchign set?^^
Fun fact: Macca's fries are soaked in sugar water to give them that golden colour when fried. The golden colour is from the sugar caramelising from the heat. Then they are so heavily salted to remove any sweetness.
UK packaging and menu looks very different from US (noticing all week). Good luck on the indigestion !
Omg I just realised that you went to the McDonald's in Uttoxeter for lunch!! Which is were I live!!!!!
You should try a day where you eat 2000 calories, and disregard the other stats.
A week on spoiling basil would be the best
Is that the hockliffe McDonald’s in Bedfordshire?
yeah 3 fish sticks a little bag of fruit an a little container of milk is a pretty crummy Happy Meal for the price, might would have got more fish sticks if it wasnt for the "organic" milk which is more expensive so they cut back on the main food items :D
4:08 until the climax is the funniest shit I’ve seen for a long time haha, put that in a novel!
Aw mike :( on your chicken selects you had Regent street!! That’s the rare piece for the Mini Cooper! If you collected the properties you’d get the two other common green pieces for the mini. Just goes to show how McDonald’s is betting on the fact you don’t know how to play for the big prizes
It's not only in your head, McDonalds has all sorts of elements from Mendeleev periodic table in their food, so not surprised you're having the "addiction" symptoms.
I worked at McDonald's they sell about 3 fish fingers a day so they could have been cooked ages ago
If nobody wants them why not just discontinue them?
new subscriber here hun bulk watching all your videos sending postive vibes from brum 😍
so basically a person couldn't realistically eat fast food 3 times a day and be healthy. Even if you try.
OMG Muslims! Of course they could.
It's been done. A teacher did it as an experiment with his students (they planned the meals and he ate the food). Not only was he fine, he lost weight.
Depends how active you are... burn more calories and eat more food :)
You can lose weight eating junk food if you count calories, however you may not be particularly healthy. You'll likely fail to get certain nutrients or vitamins, plus have high levels of sugar and salt in your diet.
asmrfoodieuk
Almost every fast food place has salads.
Also, it may seem illogical but a diet low in vegetables and/or fruits can be healthy. It would difficult to avoid them entirely in all forms (As anyone who's tried Atkins will tell you), but with the correct lifestyle (usually a very, very active one) too many vegetables just become extraneous calories. Not advocating that lifestyle, mind you, but some people like it.
I like the fact your British and I can relate to your maccies very well from past experiences
I am having a panick attack atm!!!😂😂
Your feeing like that cause your eating so little , at your height/weight you should be maintaining on around 2700 cals...
dj tree man ive fasted for a week and not complained or even felt the need to complain at any time. This guy is just a whining child.
Fasting is very different on you than undereating.
EnemyViolent Gaming what are you trying to say? Eating makes you more hungry?
When you fast, your body goes into sort of a fasting mode, and eventually you stop getting hungry really, and there are other benefits. When you're not fasting but undereating, that doesn't happen, and you stay hungry.
Graeme Evans 🙄
What camera are you using Mike?
A not so Happy Meal.
An original joke. Said no-one ever.
I’d love to see a week on something like the perfect meal. Like eating your exact recommended fibre, fruit, veg, protein etc
You do understand that you are eating like 1000 calories less per day than you should be...and none of those calories are giving you any nutrients. That horrible feeling is called starvation!!!
Yeah, that's why he feels better in the evening after eating the "greesy food".
It's just his body, screaming out for the other 1000calories it was expecting...
I agree brother
He knows this and has said the reason he hasn't been meeting the daily calorie intake is because the foods are so high in fat and salt and he can't go over those.
It's almost as if Mcdonald's food isn't really designed to be the sole component of a healthy diet. You either under-eat and starve, or get the calories you need and get far too much salt and grease. Despite Mike's best efforts, this week-on has really exposed how half-assed and tokenistic the supposed healthier options are, and how trying to construct a functional diet from McDonalds is at best, extremely awkward and limiting.
That's why he is only doing it for a week. A week on any diet will not harm you in the long term.
It's fun watching these, but I never understand how Mike is always SO HUNGRY in the middle of the day. Like, having lunch is nice, but if I'm working on stuff, I regularly just forget lunch altogether, and while I'm hungry enough to enjoy dinner, I'm never starving. And I have great energy, unless I slept poorly or had a heavy workout.
I was looking for day 5 but I just realised this is an up to date series! I've finally caught up. I've been loving your videos for the past couple of weeks!
I used to work at McDonalds and can tell you that the fish fingers sat in the food trays for quite a while as so few people ordered them hence the chewyness. Also your toilet issue from a previous episode of this series would have been more likely down to the fact that some of the chaps that assemble the food in the kitchen tend not to wash their hands often after placing them in places that they shouldn't.
I have a weird thing with McDonalds and that's when I actually stop and think about it, I really don't like their food for the most part, but something in me quite often says, "Let's have a Mac!" I think it might be to do with their milkshakes, I do love their milkshakes.
i hope Mike is sticking the other pieces on the "board" he got on day one and not just throwing them away, imagine if the shock at the end of day 7 is that he also won a car or whatever the big prize is this time, by doing this week on
4ftofflame There is no reason unless he gets the one rare piece in each color.
Hamburger or Nuggets happy meal with chips, is what you get!
You chose that mockery concoction yourself, lol
Fish filet and fish fingers are rarely brought so they are on the shelf for a little while that’s why they never taste fresh or make you ill Example diahoria the other day was probably due to stale fillet
I was gutted when the grand Big Mac came out aswell as I got food poisoning from dominoes and couldn’t have any until the last four days I had one everyday trying to make up for it lol
2:08
Due to unforeseen circumstances, we are unable to offer soft or iced drinks
*WHAT!?*
Just discovered you channel loving it
A week on rollercoasters!
But... Doesn't fish have fins, not fingers? ;)
a week on cheese
Do u ever change ur jumper ?? Great vid tho I love Basil 💜
I love how he is doing everything wrong as always. Never change, Mike. Or change, don't know.
Fish fingers in a happy meal!!!!! Only in the UK!!!! Lol!!!!!! You should have gotten some tartar sauce Mike!!!!!!
Do a week on cat food
He only has one cat. I don't think you can make all that many meals out of him.
DJ-Menace That’s a challenge for Basil!
A week on eating the same thing as Basil, would be a good excuse for more Basil :)
Your going to kill the man with that
Those dreamy treats for cats
I don't get why people go on and on about Basil when he has such a legend of a daddy. Yes Mike, I ♡ you
Definitely think you should do a week on theme park food. 7 days of coasters with a wide range of fairly overpriced foodstuffs; what’s not to like?
fun fact; in sweden we have two typed of bacon. (Stek)fläsk is like brittish bacon, and Bacon is americanstyle thin bacon! The best of two worlds!
Space ace surstromming and ibrahimovic am I Swedish now 😱
YOU SHOULD DO A WEEK VEGAN CHALLENGE!!
*weak
Whiskeyklone Idiot.
that really went over your head.
He shouldn't, if he does he will actually die of malnutrition. Also will begin dressing like a hipster and start telling everyone that he is a vegan and generally being an obnoxious twonk. Veganism: a fate worse than death itself.
No he isn't!
Did you keep all the properties you got and stick them on the board you were given? You could’ve won a mini! 😂
you poor, poor, brave man. That happy meal tho, I could just see your face from "I can do this, I think I'll be ok" to "fuck." after trying that fish finger.
Keep going mike your nearly there
Big D ew man united
Came across your channel, your videos are enjoyable to watch you have a good sense of humour ☺ (don't know why sometimes reminds me of peep show). Suggestion week on KFC and Subway. Keep up the good work with these videos.
Now I wonder if they do the fish sticks here in the U.S.... I'm going to have to look that up now.
Its all the added sugar that's added in their meals and sugar is very addictive, so you're having withdrawals and when you eat it again, you feel food again.
I’d have added a Quarter Pounder and a Double Cheese Burger to that and swap out that naff Coke Zero for the real stuff
"Don't order fish fingers from McDonald's ever!" Easy enough since I'm not insane.
Them fish fingers were definitely sitting there for a long time in the heater ...
Hahaha how funny 🤣😆🤭😂😹your eating a baby’s / kids meal from McDonald’s
When I was younger I loved the McDonald’s fish fingers they were my favourite
I’ve heard you shouldn’t mix fish and milk together ?
Did you record your weight before this?
If you need more calories but not more fat or salt, then can't you graze on more salads and fruit throughout the day? And what's with the coke zero if you need more calories?
I like how you actually admit that some of the items are nice 🙃
Looks like each day you have been coming in like least 500 under the DCI
That feeling for the grease is from getting too much vegetable fat. You would feel differently is you skipped the breaded stuff and stuck to burgers...especially if you did lowcarb burgers but got more meat. The grilled chicken is fine too...but avoid the fries and fish. I know that feeling well...after i got a fryer insert for deep frying in my big pot, I ate a bunch of deep fried food for a few days and felt exactly as you feel...I cured it in one day by eating a large portion of slow-roasted pork shoulder with black beans cooked in the drippings and a shredded cabbage and jicama salad with an oil-free spicy apple-cider vinegar dressing. Basically...eat real food and the feeling will pass.
Ahhh, Mike J. releasing his inner rascal!!!
The breakfast item looks like some sort of reptile
it's probably because the greasy stuff tends to be carbs so it's more filling and gives you a boost for a longer period of time. those salads were old, wilted and sad you weren't getting anything from those.
3 days in and it looks like you've grown 2 cup sizes
4:17 that look sums up my feelings on life
Bacon roll is my top favourite breakfast mcds with a hash brown,followed closely by sausage n egg McMuffin
Liked for opening day footage of Wicker Man opening day.
