Assuming you are talking about people with deskjobs, women burn about
2200/day, men 2800/day.  That includes 8 hours at work, 8 hours of sleep,
4-6 hours sitting/moving at home, and 2 hours active recreation (which is
probably a stretch for Mr. Gonna-Screw-McDonalds')

Quarter-pounder with cheese has 530 calories,
large French Fries 540 calories
32 ounce Coke has about 300 calories

So, for one meal (assuming you didn't re-fill your Coke to screw McDonald's)
you have ingested 1370 calories (and have greatly exceeded your recommend
daily Fat intake).

Someone eating this for lunch or dinner probably isn't much better for the
other two meals.

Add to that, getting the refill and that person (if a male), has only 1100
calories for the other two meals before he starts storing those calories.

Maybe you better read up on your physiology again.
