The result: McDonald's wins While chicken is an obvious Men's Health staple, KFC's reliance on greasy oils and subsequent sky-high calorific content makes Maccy's an unlikely victor.

Ronald and the Colonel may seem out of place on MH's site, but we appreciate that dietary deviation is inevitable. So we've chewed the facts to determine which fast-food chain you should choose when your bending (not breaking) yours and our healthy-eating rules.

The numbers

McDonald's: 400k - McDonald’s estimates this many cows are used each year in the UK to provide the beef for all its products. That’s around 46 animals an hour. KFC: 23m - The number of chickens that found their way into KFC’s buckets last year, with 400 pieces sold every minute across the country.

Healthy option

McDonald's: Grilled chicken salad - With only 133kcal and 20g of protein, this has true post-workout potential. Although resisting extra fries is another story. KFC: Original recipe ricebox - Despite a hefty serving of protein and carbs, this alternative still comes laden with 17g of fat and weighs in at 500kcal.

Superfoods

McDonald's: Gherkins are a great source of probiotic bacteria, and an Egg McMuffin contains plenty of Vitamin D. Have meals with cheese for your bones, McDonald's hash browns are great for energy KFC: Eat corn on the cob for your heart health and baked beans for digestion. KFC's wings contain plenty of B vitamins, while Krushems are ideal for recovery.

Macro count

McDonald's: 98g of carbs - Restock tired muscles with the most carby pairing of the two – a Signature Collection Classic burger with large fries. Just beware of the 59g of fat. KFC: 87g of protein - The mighty bucket for one packs the most protein at either vendor. Overkill for even the hungriest of muscles, as is the 1,275kcal count.

Number crunch

McDonald's: 508kcal in a Big Mac - To offset this classic in the gym, hit the boxing bag. A 45-minute session of jabs, hooks and crosses is enough to outwork this caloric knockout. KFC: 730kcal in three pieces of chicken - Hog the rack for 90 minutes with a lower-body workout of back squats, deadlifts and power cleans to counterbalance a KFC feast.

The result: McDonald's wins

While chicken is an obvious Men’s Health staple, KFC’s reliance on greasy oils and subsequent sky-high calorific content makes Maccy’s an unlikely victor. The more varied menu and healthy options, as well as classic, gut-busting fare, make it the ideal spot to play fast and loose with your nutrition plan.

Does ketchup need to be refrigerated?

“Because of its natural acidity, Heinz Ketchup is shelf-stable. However, its stability after opening can be affected by storage conditions. We recommend that this product be refrigerated after opening to maintain the best product quality.”

rd.com - Case Closed: Here's Where You Should Store Your Ketchup

Does ketchup have to be refrigerated? We're answering one of the most hotly contested questions of our times. Over 300 million Americans used ketchup last year according to a Simmons National Consumer Survey, but apparently, most of us have no idea how to properly store this tangy, sweet condiment, Does ketchup need to be refrigerated after opening or can it just hang out on your counter? It turns out that mostly depends on where in the product’s lifecycle you are.

Even though it’s one of the 16 condiments that are secret health bombs, you can still indulge in healthier ketchups like this one. When you do, remember the words of Nicole Kulwicki, director of brand building for Heinz Ketchup, who says the product doesn’t need refrigeration until after you open it. “Because of its natural acidity, Heinz Ketchup is shelf-stable. However, its stability after opening can be affected by storage conditions. We recommend that this product be refrigerated after opening to maintain the best product quality.” If you’re wondering why restaurants and diners seem to keep open bottles of ketchup on their tables all day and night long, it’s basically just a facade—they’re dumping the bottle contents, whether they’re homemade ketchup or popular brands, into the trash each night. “We portion each order of ketchup that will be served that day,” explains chef Luke Venner of Elm Restaurant in New Canaan, Connecticut. “We always return the larger container immediately back to a refrigerator. Any unused portions are discarded at the end of the shift.” Verdict: You need to store open ketchup containers in the fridge, no ifs, ands, or burgers about it. Next, end the debate about where you’re supposed to store your butter.
