Caine,
First off congrats on your success, looks like you are loosing nicely! Some people will suggest that mcdonalds or other fast food isn't good on atkins. There may be some truth in that. It would of course be better to make a hamburger at home on the barbeque with some low carb steak sauce, rather than eat mcdonalds. Trust me, mcdonalds burgers taste as good as they are for a reason. It's the oils they cook them in.
But anyways, I personally eat mcdonalds occasionally, maybe 4-5 times per month. Whenever I go there, I usually just get like 3 big extras and just get them without ketchup and tomato (be sure to lose the ketchup). Then I eat it without the bun, just slowly remove the bun as you eat it. I have found that the mayonaise they use (mc chicken sauce) is ok.
So to answer your question I think it is ok to eat there, just be careful. If you think sugar is addictive, mcdonalds can be even more addictive. For the first month of my diet, I went to A&W for breakfast, Wendys for lunch, and mcdonalds for dinner every day (literly). I was hooked and it was soooooo easy just to drive thru. Then i slapped myself and started cooking at home more and now I hardly eat out. 4-5 a month total, mostly mcdonalds. So be careful that you dont start eating at mcdonalds all the time, because the burgers have TONS of fat in them and the kind of fat mcdonalds has isn't good for anyone
