Many people like to order a chocolate shake to go along with their burger and fries, but do they ever think about just how many calories may be in the shake alone? Or how many carbs are they taking in, only by the drink itself, not including the food as well? When ordering a large Chocolate Shake from McDonald’s to go with your burger and fries, you are doubling those numbers fast. If you have diabetes or trying to watch your figure, you may want to rethink that before ordering. 

A large Chocolate Shake from McDonald’s contains 830 calories alone, 21 grams of fat, and even 139 carbohydrates. That’s many carbs in one drink! A Big Mac doesn’t even have that many calories. It only has 550. You could order a Big Mac and a medium fry, which would only be a total of 870 calories. That’s still ten calories less than one large chocolate shake. If you also got the shake to add to that meal, you would almost meet the total recommended daily calorie intake in one meal.
