WHEN it comes to dieting, most of us picture a bowl of salad or long hours of fasting before the next mealtime.

But if you're someone who struggles to lose weight because you can't say no to a Big Mac and fries then fear not.

A diet and fitness expert claims that you can still eat your favourite fast food and watch the pounds melt away.

Graeme Tomlinson, AKA The Fitness Chef on Instagram, is known for his no-nonsense nutritional advice and myth busting posts.

He says meals from the likes of McDonald's, KFC and Burger King are to be enjoyed.

But the key to doing that, he says, is eating in moderation - as well as supporting your diet with other foods rich in nutrients.

In a recent Instagram post, he revealed the calories of some of Britain's best loved fast food dishes - and the odd sweet treat.

The simple infographics help compare the difference between portion sizes, such as a small fries vs large, so dieters can easily recognise how many calories they are consuming.

Writing under the post, Graeme said: "This assortment of slides is not an endorsement of fast food as much as it is not a shaming of it as a food choice.

"Instead, it is simply a selection of food from some of the worlds favourite fast food chains.

"This post is therefore an objective arrangement of basic nutritional information."

He added: "The establishments included in this post have existed for decades.

"This is undoubtedly because it is abundantly clear that millions continue to enjoy consumption of such food.

Whilst most items within these lists are not particularly nutrient dense, they are still legitimate items of food which should be eaten if enjoyed.

"And whilst most items within these lists are not particularly nutrient dense, they are still legitimate items of food which should be eaten if enjoyed.

"Instead of basing opinion on subjective metaphors and closed minded assumptions that fast food will send us to hospital, it is more useful to consider a more logical approach.

"Correlation of consumption in relation to regularity and overall dietary intake is a more worthwhile way to gauge the effect of fast food on ones overall health."

He also pointed to a "mass hysteria" around fast food during the early 2000s, when there were warnings about the negative effect on health.

Graeme added: "One example can be found in the Supersize Me experiment/documentary in 2004.

"It professed the negative impact McDonalds had on the subjects health.

"But the subject consumed nothing but McDonalds food for one whole month.

"Whilst the findings may have been accurate, they are rendered as entirely useless to those who do not consume 90+ McDonalds meals per month.

"Thus, we can estimate that the findings from Supersize Me are irrelevant."

He continued:" For optimal health, excessive consumption of fast food is not going to be particularly beneficial.

"But if consumption is moderate and accompanied by an overall supportive dietary process rich in nutrients, it can have an enjoyed position in ones life now and again."
