Morgan Spurlock decides to eat nothing but McDonalds for breakfast, dinner and supper for 30 days in an attempt to discover whether it is helathy for you. Inspired by an American lawsuit, Spurlock meets many McDonalds fanatics along the way and his progress is followed by doctors and nutritionists whose predictions at what would happen are far off what really happens. There are only a few rules he follows: he must supersize if asked to, he must only eat McDonalds food and drink drinks sold there and he must eat everything on the menu once.

Question: Is there a list somewhere of exactly what Morgan Spurlock ate on each day? It seems that on several days, he ate more than a standard meal (you often see multiple sodas visible on desks, or he carries bags larger than a typical McDonalds' meal bag), which rather hurts the point he's trying to make.

Chosen answer: If you were going to eat at McDonald's three meals a day for 30 days, would you actually make 90 separate trips to the restaurant? I'm sure there were times that he got 2 or 3 (or more) meals at the same time and simply reheated them. As for the cups, I know lots of people with old soda cups on their desk and tons of them in their car. The crew may have had food too.
