McDonald's nutrition
A detailed macro guide for logging a Big Mac without losing track of the full meal.
Quick answer
A standard McDonald's Big Mac has about 590 calories, 25g protein, 46g carbs, and 34g fat. The burger itself is only part of the meal, so fries, soda, sauces, and add-ons should be logged separately.

The standard Big Mac estimate includes the three-part sesame bun, two beef patties, Big Mac sauce, shredded lettuce, cheese, pickles, and onions. Removing cheese or sauce lowers calories and fat; adding extra patties, sauce, or cheese increases them.
Restaurant nutrition can vary slightly by country, supplier, and preparation. For a normal US-style Big Mac, 590 calories and 25g protein is the practical tracking number most people should start with.
A Big Mac has meaningful protein, but it is not a lean protein food. At roughly 25g protein for 590 calories, it delivers less protein per calorie than chicken breast, tuna, Greek yogurt, egg whites, or a lean burger bowl.
That does not make it off-limits. It means the rest of the day should usually be higher in lean protein and lower in calorie-dense extras if you are cutting or trying to keep macros balanced.
Log the Big Mac separately from fries and drinks. A medium fries and regular soda can add hundreds of calories, turning a single burger into a much larger meal than the sandwich number suggests.
In Calorieo, you can search or type 'McDonald's Big Mac', then add fries, sauce cups, and drinks as separate items. This keeps the macro picture clearer than logging the whole order as one vague fast-food meal.
The best calorie log is not just a number. It shows serving size, context, add-ons, and how the food fits the day.
A standard McDonald's Big Mac has about 25g of protein. It is moderate protein, but not especially lean for the calories.
The Big Mac sandwich is about 590 calories. A full meal depends on fry size, drink choice, sauces, and extras, so it can be much higher.
Yes, if it fits your calorie target. The easiest approach is to log it accurately and plan lighter, higher-protein foods around it.
