* Make your own chicken nuggets. Here's a method we use at www.supadiet.com. Take a chicken breast bash slightly, rub in oil and lightly flour, soak in egg then rub in homemade breadcrumbs (cheats breadcrumbs are to toast a couple of pieces of bread and them crush with a pestle and motor). You can then fry these up and eat cold the next day - after all how many times is Mcdonald's food piping hot!

Remember there is a tasty alternative to a McDonald's, it just takes a little thought and simple preparation!
