If you have an entry-level job at McDonald's than chances are that you don't earn much. With many of the burger chain's workers making just $7.81 an hour, the cheapest and most readily available food is what McDonald's serves. However McDonald's has some advice for its employees -- don't eat the food you serve.

McDonald's recently posted the bombshell statement on its internal employee resources site, McResource. A series of infographic's show and tell employees what not to eat and why.

"Fast foods are quick, reasonably priced, and readily available alternatives to home cooking. While convenient and economical for a busy lifestyle, fast foods are typically high in calories, fat, saturated fat, sugar, and salt and may put people at risk for becoming overweight," the website post said.

While it's admirable that the Oak Brook, Ill.-based fast food giant is looking out for its workers' health it doesn't offer much in terms of nutritious meals. Yes, the employees can always eat one of the seven salads the company serves on its menu, but that is about the only healthy entrée available. McResource seems to realize this and it recommends to its workers that they look elsewhere for better food.

"Eat at places that offer a variety of salads, soups and vegetables to maintain your best health."

"Although not impossible it is more of a challenge to eat healthy when going to a fast food place. In general, avoiding items that are deep fried are your best bet," McResource added. The website also mentions that "people with high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease must be very careful about choosing fast food because of its high fat, salt, and sugar levels" and calls to "limit the extras such as cheese, bacon and mayonnaise."

The real kicker is that the one of the healthy alternatives is a sub sandwich. McDonald's doesn't serve any subs, but its chief rival Subway does. Subway also has a much better reputation when it comes to healthy food choices.

McDonald's, of course, issued a statement supporting its post, "Portions of this website continue to be taken entirely out of context. This website provides useful information from respected third-parties about many topics, among them health and wellness. It also includes information from experts about healthy eating and making balanced choices. McDonald's agrees with this advice."

McDonald's has come under fire for offering up other ridiculous advice such as budget planning and how best to go about tipping masseuses and pool cleaners. How can one plan a budget or afford a massage when all the money they make goes towards housing? Either way, all of this pretty ironic information led to the McResource site being shut down.
