With your username, I wasn't worried!
But many people seem to think that Tim Horton's, Panera, etc are better choices than McDonalds.
Ancien Maestro, your Tim Horton's meal that you listed has almost 2,000mg of sodium. You'd actually be better off having a Quarter Pounder and fries, believe it or not. Like the Starbucks treats, it really is eye opening to see that what you may think of a healthier choice really isn't. Just some advice as you have mentioned wanting to eat better, and many people have fallen into the trap of believing that certain foods are better when they aren't. Tim Horton's definitely falls into the junk food category, and is actually one of the more unhealthy places to eat. I'm not a fan of McDonalds and don't eat there, but they do in fact often some better choices if one chooses wisely.
