      And here, we can see one of the biggest hurdles to eating healthily. The steak does much, much worse (McDonald's cook time is, of course, the best here)pic.twitter.com/uRUCyDEXC6

      The cookware is similar in our two dishes - pan, pot, salad bowl - but they BOTH require far more than the Big Mac

      There's also the spice issue - if you've got plenty of spices already, as well as olive oil and balsamic, the steak is easy. If not, that's another $15 out of pocket at the start

      In fact, if you include all the costs external to the recipe, the steak gets up to a whopping $11 per person, making it almost 3x the cost of the pasta and double the Big Mac

      If we then add in cooking/prep time, the steak is 40 mins vs the pasta's 20 mins and the Big Mac's ~0 mins Healthy is looking a lot more expensive now, isn't it?

      It would take me far longer to get to a maccas, wait for my order and get home than the 15 minutes it takes to cook the pasta

      True, but I've excluded shopping/ ordering time because it's fairly similar

      Personally for me that is one of the biggest issue with take away. Shopping is a weekly thing that you are going to be doing anyway. When I get home and need to decide on take away or cooking the time is similar if not worse for the big mac. And I hate leaving the house again

      Fair call. I just find it wrong to say it would take 20 minutes to get pasta to eat but a big mac is instant. In my world time and transport costs factor in. But exactly right on extra ingredients, I remember looking at a meal for under $5 recipe and they had red wine as a staple

      To be fair, you can get both shopping and big macs delivered the days so we could call it academic lol
