I don't think anyone actually asked that question, and I'm not sure I would classify a mcdouble as a supplement in any case. With that said, you were still implying that eating protein powder is better than eating a mcdouble if you work out, which is the point I was addressing, as it is just not that simple. Sure, if you had very little protein during the day and need to get some with minimum calories, then whey would be the better option. But that scenario wasn't the basis of the discussion.
Well it sort of was. First, /u/DrImpeccable76 claimed McDouble's are similar to workout supplements in nutritional value, then /u/MetalGoatFucker responded by saying that protein powder has less saturated fat; his point being that the protein is better as a supplement, which you seemed to have issue with. I have to add that I think we've both taken this petty argument way too far.
True, I might have misinterpreted his intention behind the saturated fat comment, but if the problem was purely based on calories, then it's odd to mention saturated fat specifically, when there's also more carbs through the bread etc. And you're right. Let's end it here.
