Do you upsize your meals?

As tempting as upsizing your meal to a larger portion of fries and a bigger cup of coke may sound, sometimes patrons do choose not to upsize their meals for certain reasons. Though by topping up a mere few cents to enjoy a considerably larger portion of meal may seem sound and practical to the mass consumers, many may still opt to not upsize their meals. More common reasons are likely to be related to health as a larger portion does not necessarily equate to a slimmer waistline or lower cholestrol. And thus many people may resist the option to upsize. Of course there are others who may be more practical and value the fact that upsizing their meals boost their energy levels much better and therefore choose the option to top up to a bigger meal. So what's your preference? Upsize or not? =)

If there's an upsize option for a good fries and drinks in any fastfood I eat at, I take that option almost every time. I am a cola addict and I just love fries whether I'm full or just starting out to eat. I think that as long as the price is fair, it's a good deal.

I prefer not to upgrade my meal because I am a bit conscious about the fries and softdrinks that I do consume - no matter how tempting or hungry I am.

Hello luckymichelle :)
I usually eat at McDonald's though not always though it's my first option when I would like to eat in fastfood chains. And since I'm still a student, upsizing my meals entirely depends on my budget :) If I don't have enough money I don't upsize but if I am sure I still have extra-money, I don't mind upsizing.
Though usually I only upsize the fries into a larger one, I rarely don't like my meal to be upsized because it can be harmful to my health too. Sometimes I eat in a fastfood chain in occasions like when I just finished my final exam.. I usually treat myself in those occasions and would really love my meal to be upsized. :))

I love eating at McDonalds, but I rarely upsize my meals. The counter girl would always ask their customers if they like to upsize, but I usually turn them down politely. Not that I'm weight conscious, but I cannot finish a large size meal. Regular is enough for me. Though sometimes, when I'm really hungry, I would go for an upgrade, but not often.

I never upsize my fast food meals, it would only mean that I would eat more than I need. I rarely treat myself to burger and fries these days, we can't afford it, but I am also aware that it is unhealthy for me to eat too much junk food. Upsizing would just mean a bigger weight gain
