The McDouble is one of the most popular items on the McDonald’s menu, known for its affordable price and tasty combination of beef, cheese, pickles, onions, and mustard.
But how does it fit into your daily calorie count? Let’s break it down.
A standard McDouble contains 390 calories. This includes the two beef patties, slice of melted cheese, pickles, onions, mustard, and the sandwich bun.
The majority of the calories come from the beef patties (protein and fat) and the bun (carbohydrates).
While it’s not exactly a low-fat or low-calorie option, the McDouble does pack a decent amount of protein, which can help keep you full for a longer period.
If you’re looking to reduce calories, there are a few easy ways to adjust the McDouble:
Go without the mustard or pickles to cut a small amount of calories.
Order it without the bun (if you’re avoiding carbs) and opt for a lettuce wrap instead, although this will also reduce the size and the fullness factor of the meal.
