Other chains have recently adopted the comforting breakfast dish, including Starbucks, Caribou Coffee, Ja mba Juice and Prêt à Manger, notes Nation's Restaurant News, so a McD version of oatmeal isn't a shocker.
Their version contains "five grams of dietary fiber and two-thirds of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's recommended daily allowance of whole grain." Not bad, golden arches. The dish will also come with half a cup's worth of "red and green apples, dried cranberries and golden and regular raisins." This amounts to 290 calories of sugar (260 without the added brown sugar) largely from the fruit, of course.
Cindy Goody, senior director of nutrition (yes, they have one) for McDonald's USA, told Nation's Restaurant News that they'll be on the look-out for customer feedback, so if you want this healthier breakfast plan to expand, let 'em know by ordering up a bowl next time you pass the drive-through.

They also have a great breakfast combo: oatmeal and a medium coffee. Would love to know the nutritional info...been checking the McD site for awhile...but nothing.

With all the $$$$$ that mac deez saves by just putting a third slice of cheese on they`re fish sandwiches i`m sure that they could. I for 1 am sick & tired of getting ripped off. People now days are just to stupid to realize that they are getting ripped off, what idiots.

But unfortunately they have no interest in listening to my helpful and useful comments. Last time I went to 1 of they`re establishments I was lied to, they told me the costumer wanted just a partial slice of cheese on they`re fish. makky deeze is like all others, trying to find a way to rip off they`re costumers and downsize and jack up the prices. & by the way, nothing is hard for me. I just call it like it is, very simple huh. I hope I have been able to set you strait on this matter. Have a lovely day & you are welcome.
