Number of calories in McDonald's products
-
In the Netherlands in 2018 there are 245 McDonald's restaurants where about 3 million guests come to eat a week. The fast food restaurant is not known for its healthy products, but it is often associated with high-calorie and fatty meals. Yet it is also possible to order a menu with less than 500 calories at McDonald's. Loose burgers often contain no more than 512 calories each. How much do the different McDonald's products and menus contain?
McDonald's
-
The fast food restaurant McDonald's mainly sells burgers, cheeseburgers, chicken products, French fries, breakfast foods, soft drinks, milkshakes and desserts. McDonald's has received a lot of criticism in the past for its one-sided and unhealthy range. In response to this criticism, the company has also put salads, wraps and fruit on the menu. In the years 2011 to 2014, McDonald's had a hard time financially. Due to many changes, such as the introduction of McCafé, the introduction of more luxurious burgers such as the Maestroburger with Angus beef, table service, the introduction of salad bars in some establishments and the renewal of the style of the restaurants, McDonalds has in the years 2015, 2016 and 2017 again achieved better results.

Burgers are considered by many to be fatty and unhealthy. However, burgers don't have to be very unhealthy. The bacon and cheese in particular make a burger extra fat and high in calories. A simple hamburger with not too much sauce does not contain as much fat and calories as is often thought. For example, the classic McDonald's hamburger contains fewer calories and saturated fats than a double sandwich spread with margarine and topped with cheese. Also surprising is that about 75 percent of the burgers and McNuggets at McDonald's contain no more than 512 calories.

Calories in McDonald's Menus
-
Many people will choose a menu at McDonald's. A menu is often cheaper than buying individual products. A disadvantage, however, is that with a menu you quickly consume a lot of calories. A menu often consists of a burger or McNuggets, a portion of medium or large fries and a soft drink of your choice. Fortunately, you can also make healthier choices at McDonald's. Instead of fries, you can opt for a side salad and instead of a sugar-rich soft drink you can opt for a diet soda or water. McDonald's also has salad menus in its range.
Eating at McDonald's without many calories
-
After the introduction of healthier items, McDonald's will certainly be able to consume fewer calories. There are quite a few menus available with less than 500 calories, as long as you replace the fries with a side salad and choose a low-calorie drink. Also a salad menu or just a hamburger or chicken McNuggets with a low-calorie drink is often no more than 500 calories. Watch out for high-calorie dressing, as the curry apple dressing alone contains more calories than the whole Grilled Chicken Salad Sweet Spicy salad. If you don't want to consume too many calories, don't order large burgers, large fries or milkshakes or other sugary drinks.
