McDonald's Nutrition Facts for the Most Ordered Items
These are the published nutrition facts for the items people order most, straight from McDonald's own panels. Every figure is per item as served, before any customization.
| Item | Calories | Protein | Carbs | Total fat | Sat. fat | Sodium | Sugars |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Big Mac | 580 | 25g | 45g | 34g | 11g | 1060mg | 7g |
| Quarter Pounder with Cheese | 520 | 30g | 42g | 26g | 12g | 1140mg | 10g |
| McChicken | 390 | 14g | 38g | 21g | 3.5g | 560mg | 4g |
| McDouble | 390 | 22g | 32g | 20g | 9g | 920mg | 6g |
| Chicken McNuggets (4 piece) | 170 | 9g | 10g | 10g | 1.5g | 340mg | 0g |
| Small French Fries | 230 | 3g | 31g | 11g | 1.5g | 190mg | 0g |
| Filet-O-Fish | 380 | 16g | 38g | 19g | 4g | 580mg | 4g |
| Cheeseburger | 300 | 15g | 31g | 13g | 6g | 720mg | 6g |
Each item's page carries the complete panel, with cholesterol, fiber, added sugars and the full allergen list alongside the ingredients.
Nutrition at McDonald's: The Whole Menu in Numbers
One row per category, averaged across every item in it with a published panel. This is the fastest honest answer to what nutrition at McDonald's actually looks like.
| Category | Items | Avg calories | Avg protein | Avg sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Breakfast | 23 | 531 | 17g | 1047mg |
| Burgers | 10 | 497 | 27g | 1032mg |
| Chicken & Fish Sandwiches | 6 | 472 | 23g | 975mg |
| Treats | 10 | 371 | 8g | 160mg |
| McCafe | 37 | 201 | 4g | 112mg |
| Drinks | 18 | 118 | 1g | 39mg |
| Sauces & Condiments | 11 | 61 | 0g | 168mg |
Averages hide spread, and the spread is the point: the calculator above shows what your actual order adds up to rather than what a category averages.
The Best Nutritional Value at McDonald's
Nutrition panels are public, verified prices are not, and holding both lets us run a table nobody else can: grams of protein bought per dollar spent.
| Item | Protein | Price | Protein per $1 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Double Cheeseburger | 25g | $4.59 | 5.4g |
| McDouble | 22g | $4.19 | 5.3g |
| Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese | 48g | $9.49 | 5.1g |
| Sausage McMuffin | 14g | $2.99 | 4.7g |
| Steak, Egg & Cheese Bagel | 34g | $7.64 | 4.5g |
| Cheeseburger | 15g | $3.39 | 4.4g |
| Snack Wrap Mccrispy Ranch | 17g | $3.89 | 4.4g |
| Snack Wrap Mccrispy Spicy | 17g | $3.89 | 4.4g |
Only items with at least 10g of protein qualify, so sauces and drinks cannot game the ranking. Prices are our weekly refreshed medians.
McDonald's Restaurant Nutrition Information
Here is the useful asymmetry: prices differ at every McDonald's restaurant, but nutrition information does not. A Big Mac carries the same panel in Texas as in Maine.
Every figure on this page comes from McDonald's own published nutrition data, the same numbers posted on restaurant boards and in the app, so what you read here matches what the restaurant will tell you. What moves the numbers is not the restaurant but the order: remove the cheese, add a patty, swap the sauce, and the panel shifts with it. The calculator above is built for exactly that arithmetic, and every item page carries the complete panel with allergens and the published ingredient statement.
Two honest caveats. Fried items share fryers, which matters for allergies more than for macros, and the panels describe standard recipes, so a restaurant that builds your sandwich heavy on the sauce serves slightly different numbers than the sheet. For medical decisions, treat McDonald's own printed information as the final word.

Lowest Calorie McDonald's Items
The lighter end of the menu, useful when you want something small rather than a full meal.
McDonald's Allergen Menu
Allergens published by McDonald's for each item. Preparation areas are shared across the kitchen, so cross contact is possible even where an allergen is not listed.

Vegan and Vegetarian Options at McDonald's
The US menu has no meat substitute, so the plant-based list is short and honest. Each item below was checked against its full published ingredient statement.
No animal ingredients
| Item | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|

| Unsweetened Iced Tea (Small) | $2.69 | 0 Cal |
| Dasani Water | $2.49 | 0 Cal |

Not vegetarian, despite what people assume
This is the one worth knowing. In the United States the frying oil carries Natural Beef Flavor, and the published statement notes it contains hydrolysed wheat and hydrolysed milk as starting ingredients. That puts both of these outside a vegetarian diet here, even though the same items are vegetarian in some other countries.
| Item | Price | Calories | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small French Fries | $4.49 | 230 Cal | Natural Beef Flavor in the frying oil |
| Hash Browns | $2.99 | 140 Cal | Natural Beef Flavor in the frying oil |
* Some items can be made vegetarian by leaving something out — a Sausage McMuffin with Egg without the sausage, for instance. These items require modification. Confirm with your server. Recipes and suppliers change, and shared equipment means cross-contact is always possible, so treat McDonald's own printed information as the final word.
Eating Healthy at McDonald's
A full meal at McDonald's climbs faster than most people expect, because the drink and the fries carry as much as the sandwich does. Big Breakfast with Hotcakes alone reaches 1340 calories , against a menu average of 291. Swapping a regular soft drink for water or unsweetened iced tea takes a few hundred calories off without changing the food at all.
Sodium is the figure worth watching next. The FDA reference is 2,300mg for a whole day, and a single sandwich can account for a large share of it. The calculator shows sodium alongside calories so you can see both climb together, and the breakfast menu and burgers menu pages list the figures item by item.

Nutrition Calculator Questions
How does the McDonald's nutrition calculator work?
Pick items from the menu and the totals update as you go. It covers 123 items with calories, fat, saturated fat, carbs, fibre, sugars, protein and sodium, and shows each against a 2,000 calorie day.
Where does the nutrition data come from?
Every figure comes from McDonald's own published nutrition information for the US menu, covering 123 of the 156 items on the site. Values are per standard serving and can vary slightly by restaurant.
What are the lowest calorie items at McDonald's?
Iced Bold Blend Coffee Black (small) at 5 calories, Coffee (Small) at 5 calories, Coffee Decaf (Small) at 5 calories, Hot Tea (Small ) at 10 calories sit at the light end of the menu. The full list is in the table above.
Which McDonald's item has the most calories?
Big Breakfast with Hotcakes tops the menu at 1340 calories, followed by Big Breakfast at 1060. Meals combine an item with fries and a drink, so they climb quickly.
Which McDonald's items have the most protein?
Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese with 48g, Big Breakfast with Hotcakes with 36g, Bacon Quarter Pounder with Cheese with 36g lead on protein. Add them in the calculator to see how a full meal adds up.
Are McDonald's nutrition facts the same at every restaurant?
Yes, and that makes them the opposite of prices. Nutrition facts about McDonald's food describe the standard recipe, so a Big Mac carries the same panel nationwide, while its price differs restaurant to restaurant. What changes the facts is customization: remove or add an ingredient and the numbers move with it, which is what the calculator on this page is for.
What is the best nutritional value at McDonald's?
Measured as protein per dollar, the double burgers win: the table above ranks the Double Cheeseburger and McDouble at over 5 grams of protein per dollar at current verified prices. Measured per calorie instead, the Egg McMuffin leads the breakfast board with 17g of protein inside 310 calories.
How many calories should I eat in a day?
The daily value percentages here use the FDA reference of 2,000 calories. Your own number depends on age, size and activity, so treat the bars as a guide rather than a target.
Does McDonald's have allergen information?
Yes. Allergen details are listed on every item page, and 92 items carry published allergen data. Preparation areas are shared, so cross contact is always possible.
Are there vegetarian options at McDonald's?
Fries, hash browns, apple slices, the plain bagel, McCafé drinks and the sweet range are the usual choices. Nothing is prepared in a dedicated vegetarian area, so confirm with the restaurant if that matters to you.
