McDonald's
calories & menu.

The whole menu, every macro. Build your combo and watch the total move.

McDonald's is the calorie question everybody Googles at least once. The menu is bigger than it looks, portion sizes vary, and the drinks quietly land where you don't expect. This page is the reference: every item, official published values, plus a live meal builder so you can price your actual order before you drive up. Numbers reflect the US menu. Regional menus (McSpicy in some markets, McRib in others) are noted where they're commonly asked about. If you're counting for a specific health reason, always check the register label — franchisees update recipes on their own timelines.

Common questions.

How many calories is a Big Mac?
A Big Mac in the US is 590 calories: 25g protein, 46g carbs, 33g fat. That's the sandwich alone. A Big Mac meal with medium fries and a medium Coke is 1,180 calories total.
What's the lowest-calorie thing on the McDonald's menu?
Excluding zero-calorie drinks and condiments, a plain hamburger is 250 calories. Apple slices and a side salad tie at 15 cal each. Among mains, the 6-piece McNuggets at 250 cal ties the hamburger; the Egg McMuffin at 310 cal is the lowest breakfast sandwich.
How many calories in 10 McNuggets?
410 calories for 10 pieces on their own. 6-pc is 250, 20-pc is 810. Add roughly 50 cal per sauce packet (BBQ, sweet & sour, honey); ranch and creamy sauces are 110 cal.
Is the Quarter Pounder or the Big Mac worse?
A Big Mac (590 cal) is higher-calorie than a Quarter Pounder with Cheese (520 cal), mostly from the extra bun layer and Big Mac sauce. But the QP has more protein (30g vs 25g) and less carbs. If you're picking one, the QP is the better trade per calorie.
What are the healthiest orders at McDonald's?
Under 500 calories, satisfying, hits protein: Egg McMuffin (310 cal, 17g protein), 6-pc McNuggets + side salad (265 cal, 15g protein), plain hamburger + apple slices (265 cal, 12g protein), Filet-O-Fish alone (390 cal, 16g protein). Skip sugary drinks — that's where the calories quietly land.
How many calories in a medium fries?
320 calories for a medium fries: 4g protein, 41g carbs, 16g fat. Small is 230, large is 480.
How many calories in a McDonald's shake?
A small vanilla shake is 480 cal, small chocolate is 520, small strawberry is 490. Medium sizes push all three over 700. A shake is nearly a full meal on its own — treat it that way.
Does the McRib have more calories than a Big Mac?
Close. A McRib is 520 calories; a Big Mac is 590. Nutritionally similar; the Big Mac just tacks on the extra bun.
