The singer of Operación Triunfo, Aitana (with Instagram @aitanax) has gained a lot of popularity among the population for her songs and lifestyle. During these days she has been widely criticized on social media to promote a new McDonald’s menu, really high in calories.
This promotion has led many people to give their opinion on social media, saying that it has been a mistake by Aitana to promote a menu with such many calories, knowing the influence it has on many teenagers. and young people.
But how many calories does each of the ingredients have? And the whole menu? How eating such an amount of calories can affect your health. Besides, how much exercise should you do to burn all the calories it contains.
What products can we find on the menu
The full Aitana menu costs just 9.90 euros and features a CBO burger with extra cheese, medium potatoes, Nuggets with BBQ sauce and a mini OF McFlurry with caramel.
The CBO burger consists of bread, CBO sauce, crispy onion, iceberg lettuce, cheese, battered chicken and bacon. In the case of the burger promoted by Aitana, it carries extra cheese, so it’s even more caloric and complete.
How many calories does each of the ingredients have and how many does the whole menu have
The singer has received a lot of criticism for the promotion she has done with McDonald ‘s since it is related to a high calorie menu and to be a bad example of healthy eating. But before we draw conclusions, let’s see what calories each of the menu ingredients contains:
First we have the CBO burger which contains about 620 and 650 calories, depending on whether it carries extra cheese or not. In the case of medium potatoes, you would be equivalent to about 350 calories.
In the case of McNuggets would be about 170 calories plus 170 of the barbecue sauce. And, finally, the mini McFlurry Oreo with caramel, would be equivalent to about 450 calories.
If we add up all the calories in each of the ingredients it contains Aitana’s McDonald’s menu would be about 1,720 calories, A really excessive value. So, it is a menu with a really dangerous amount of calories that, being Aitana a media character, many fans and fans of the singer will consume this menu, and can harm the health of many of them.
How much exercise should we do to burn those 1720 calories
According to official health agencies such as the WHO, a young person you need to consume an average of 2,300 calories daily, as long as you exercise and has no incapacitating pathology.
The problem with this menu is that, in just one meal, you are eating foods that add up to a total of 1,720 calories, which is more than 50% of what you recommend consuming during the day.
If we look closely at the table of how many calories you can burn according to each of the activities shown in 30 minutes, we can see that the activity that consumes more calories is running. In just 30 minutes you can burn between 375-555 calories.
If we assume that you are a person who weighs 60 kilograms and at lunch you have decided to try the Aitana menu, to burn those 1,720 calories you would have to do two and a half hours of running to burn 1,875.
Honestly, it’s very unlikely, unless you are a person who is engaged in sports professionally, Do all these hours a day, and less to burn a McDonald’s menu.
As for the rest of the activities on the table, by burning fewer calories, you should do more hours, for example, in the case of cycling and weighing 60 kilograms, you should also do an average of two hours and a half to burn 1,800 calories. In the case of yoga, you should do an amount of 8 hours to burn 1,900 calories, which is very unlikely to be performed for such a number of hours.
