McDonald's ran the Double Cheeseburger as a promotional item through the 1950s and added it to the regular menu in 1965, though for years many restaurants never listed it on the board at all. It is still the simplest way to get two patties and two cheese slices in one sandwich. This page covers the McDonald's Double Cheeseburger price, the full nutrition, exactly what is on it, and the comparison people search for most. Prices for the rest of the range are on our McDonald's burgers menu, and the full board is on the McDonald's menu with prices.
Our surveyed national midpoint is $4.19. Franchisees set their own board, so the spread runs from about $3.49 to $5.29. It sits above the McDouble on almost every menu, which is the whole reason the McDouble exists.
A McDonald's Double Cheeseburger is 440 calories with 25g of protein. That figure matches a Big Mac exactly while coming in 150 calories lighter, which makes this one of the better protein-to-calorie ratios on the board at 5.7g per 100.
Without the bun a McDonald's Double Cheeseburger comes to roughly 290 calories with 8g of carbohydrate, keeping 24g of protein. Dropping one cheese slice makes it a McDouble in everything but name and saves 50 calories. Both changes are free. Every item's figures are on our McDonald's calorie list.
McDonald's answers this on its own product page: the difference is the extra slice of American cheese in the McDonald's Double Cheeseburger. Nothing else changes. Same two 1.6oz patties, same bun, same pickles, chopped onions, ketchup and mustard.
If you want the melt, take the McDonald's Double Cheeseburger. If you are counting calories, sodium or money, the McDouble gives you exactly the same amount of beef for less of all three. McDonald's created the McDouble in 2008 specifically to sell this sandwich at a lower price point, so choosing between them is choosing whether one slice of cheese is worth 70 cents to you.
A McDonald's Double Cheeseburger holds two 1.6oz beef patties seasoned with salt and pepper only, two slices of American cheese, two dill pickle slices, rehydrated chopped onions, ketchup and mustard, on a toasted bun.

Both land at 25g of protein. The Big Mac gets there with 590 calories and $6.49; this does it with 440 and $4.19. The difference is the third bun and the sauce. If protein is the goal and the Big Mac flavour is not, this is the more efficient order by a clear margin.
