This site offers the latest McDonald's menu and pricing info, but isn't officially affiliated with them.
Every item on the McDonald's menu with its calorie count and current price, by category. Fries, burgers, nuggets, breakfast, desserts and McCafé drinks in every size.
McDonalds calories run from 110 for kids fries to 1,340 for a Big Breakfast with Hotcakes. A Big Mac is 590, medium fries are 320, a 10 piece McNuggets is 410 and an Egg McMuffin is 310.
This is a complete list of McDonalds calories for the whole menu, with the current price beside every figure so you can weigh both at once. Most calorie guides give you the nutrition and stop; ours sits alongside our McDonald's menu with prices, so the two always match. Every one of the McDonalds calories here is McDonald's own published data, and every figure is the same one used on the individual item pages across this site. Where an item has its own page with the full macro breakdown, we link straight to it.
Fries are the most searched of all McDonalds calories questions, and the answer depends entirely on the cup. A small is 230, a medium 320 and a large 480, so upgrading from small to large more than doubles the number while adding a little over a dollar.
| FRIES SIZE | PRICE | CALORIES | SODIUM |
|---|---|---|---|
Kids FriesThe size served in a Happy Meal | $1.89 | 110 | 90mg |
Small FriesLowest sodium side on the menu | $2.79 | 230 | 190mg |
Medium FriesStandard size in most meals | $3.79 | 320 | 260mg |
Large FriesDouble a small for about $1.20 more | $3.99 | 480 | 400mg |
Going from small to medium adds 90 calories for a dollar. Medium to large adds 160 calories for twenty cents, which is the worst calorie-per-dollar step on the menu if you are counting. The kids size at 110 is worth knowing about: you can order it separately at most restaurants without buying a Happy Meal.
Among McDonalds calories for burgers, a plain hamburger is 250 and a Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese is 740, the widest range in any category. The Big Mac at 590 is not the highest, and that surprises most people who assume the third bun makes it the heaviest thing on the board.

590 calories, with 25g of protein. It is not the highest calorie burger despite the extra bun — a Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese is 740, because beef is far more calorically dense than bread.
Roughly 41 calories per nugget. A 4 piece is 170, a 6 piece 250, a 10 piece 410 and a 20 piece 830. Full detail with price per piece on our Chicken McNuggets page.
300 calories for a single cheeseburger and 450 for a double. A plain hamburger is 250, so each slice of cheese adds roughly 50 calories, 4g of fat and 3g of protein.
140 calories, with 8g of fat and just 1g of protein. It is the lightest hot item on the breakfast menu. Full nutrition and the ingredient list on our hash browns page.
Black coffee at 0 to 5 calories, then kids fries at 110 and a hash brown at 140. Among sandwiches, a plain hamburger at 250 is the lightest, and an Egg McMuffin at 310 is the lightest hot breakfast.
The Big Breakfast with Hotcakes at 1,340 calories, which beats every burger. A Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese is 740 and an M&M McFlurry is 640.
420 for a small, 520 for a medium and 630 for a large. Most calorie guides publish the medium only. Skipping the whipped cream saves around 80 calories and switching to nonfat milk saves 50 more.
Between 140 for a hash brown and 1,340 for a Big Breakfast with Hotcakes. The Egg McMuffin at 310 has the best protein per calorie. Full board on the McDonald's breakfast menu.
230 calories with 16g of sugar. It has been baked rather than deep fried in the US since 1992. A chocolate chip cookie is lighter at 170, and a vanilla cone is 200.
The McDonalds calories shown are McDonald's own published US data and do not vary by restaurant. Prices do vary, because franchisees set their own board — ours are a national midpoint from a monthly survey of 62 restaurants across 14 states.
400 calories with 14g of protein. The protein is lower than people expect because it uses a formed chicken patty rather than a breast fillet. A McCrispy is 470 with 26g, which is the better protein choice under 500 calories.
Prices shown are based on typical U.S. McDonald’s menu prices as of August 2026 and may vary by location. Check your local restaurant or McDonald’s app for the latest prices.

Priya has tracked fast food pricing since 2019. Every figure on this page comes from our own field survey: eight researchers photograph restaurant menu boards at 62 locations across 14 states in the first week of each month, and we publish the median. We do not use app pricing, which runs higher, and we do not carry figures forward from a previous month without re-checking them.
