Looking for McDonald's nutrition facts in one place? This 2026 guide lays out the calories, protein, fat and carbs for the major US menu items — burgers, breakfast, chicken, sides and drinks — using official nutrition data tracked on our McDonald's menu pages. Instead of clicking through one product page at a time, you get the whole McDonald's calories and macros picture in a single table you can scan in seconds.
Whether you're counting macros, watching calories, or just curious how a Big Mac stacks up against a Quarter Pounder, the full table below has the numbers. We sorted it by calories so the biggest meals sit at the top and the lightest options at the bottom — handy whether you're trying to bulk up or trim down.
How we sourced this
Every value in the table is taken directly from McDonald's official US nutrition information and matched to the exact menu item in our database. We didn't average, estimate or "clean up" any figure — what you see is what the brand publishes, per item, as listed. McDonald's nutrition can differ between countries and recipes, so treat this as the US menu reference and always check the local product page before you order.

How to read the macros
It helps to look past the calorie column when you're planning a McDonald's order. Protein is the macronutrient that keeps you full, which is why a Quarter Pounder with Cheese feels far more satisfying than its calorie count alone would suggest. Carbs, by contrast, climb fastest on the breakfast and bun-heavy items — the Hotcakes carry 101g of carbs and the Big Breakfast® with Hotcakes a hefty 158g — so anyone managing carbs will want to lean toward the burgers and eggs rather than the pancakes. Fat tends to track with the bacon-and-cheese builds: the items with the most fat in the table are also the ones loaded with extra cheese slices and bacon. Reading all four columns together, rather than fixating on calories, is the difference between guessing and ordering on purpose.
Why McDonald's nutrition can differ where you live
One important caveat: the figures here are for the US menu. McDonald's reformulates recipes, portion sizes and even ingredient lists from country to country, so the same-named item can carry different calories and macros in the UK, Australia or Pakistan. Buns, sauces and cheese specifications vary, and some markets sell items that don't exist elsewhere at all. That's why we always point you back to the live menu for your own country rather than treating a single number as global gospel. Use this table as the US reference point, then verify against the local product page before you commit to an order or log it in a tracker.
